hi,
I am using iReport v1.2.4
I have a report that uses a jpeg image in the title band.
In the image expression field, it ask for a absolute pathname, as in, /home/name/report/.../.jpg
Now, when i move the report to another computer, it becomes invalid. How can i set it up as a relative pathname instead ?
Or if not possible, how do i get around this problem.
Please help.
thanks,
Tony

you have a number of options.
but you tell us nothing about your environment,
so i will guess.
1. keep the images in the database & download them when needed
2. keep them in the jar file ,if you are using java
3. distribute them with your app, and pass in a URL to the image area, instead of hardcoding it in the report.
4. tell us more about the environment, to save us guessing
