I want to use some of the static images in my report. Im not very sure to go with some good approach. My requirement is just to have some static images like logo. is there anyway that can we just copy the image and paste (embed) in the image position. if not, what option i should use? I could see, image expression that can be a string, file, url or input stream. Also i want to give relative path to the images, ie the path of the image will be "config/ui/images/" from the classpath or en/locales. Which one i should use? If i give the image path like this, will i be able to preview the report in ireports itself? Also what is lsLazy? to increase the performance, can i check this. so that image will be preloaded? Please guide me and thanks for your time.
