java.awt.Image for imageExpression

2004-03-10 03:02

I understand that it's possible to use the Image class as the value class for ImageExpression. But what exactly do you use for the expression itself? A Image variable? So we do something like <imageExpression>new ImageIcon("myimage.jpg")</imageExpression>? Am I correct? But what's the point of this when we can simply use the image name directly as a String?

i'm not sure if this really answers your question, but...

you may not want to read the image from the filesystem but supply it to the report through your underlying application, for example in a j2ee environment.
