Html Images from original url

2004-12-08 13:18

Is it possible to have the html export use the original url to pull the images? (the url specified in the xml design)

 

I've seen the webap example and I want to avoid creating a session to store the images map. I'm really delivering the reports to other systems through http, not to a user using a browser, so the session cookies and such things may not work at all...

 

Is there other solution as to how to present those images in html export?

 

Thanks!

I have nearly the same problem: My images are charts from JFreeChart, generated by a servlet.

The image urls (including the call to the servlet) are stored into a JRMapCollectionDataSource, and then embedded into the Report as report fields.

For pdf output this works very well, but for html I only see empty images.

Storing the images into a Map which is located in a session is not possible.

It would be better to find an opportunity to pass the urls directly to the generated html file than to evaluate them during the filling process...

 

I hope there is a solution for this problem,
