Hello, I have seen several variations on this problem but I still don't have a solution. I have read this comment which says it is not possible to use the standard java.io.InputStream (field) and java.io.InputStream (image) combo - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8430313/displaying-image-in-ireports-using-postgresql - it clearly says "In PostgreSQL the bytea type is not a BLOB, and you can't use a stream." I have next tried to convert my bytea field to an image but I don't know how. None of the expression code I'm trying works. I'm not a java programmer so I'm stuck. Can anyone please help?
