Image expression URL in Jasper Reports
jasper-reports
Solution
`<![CDATA["../images/company_logo.jpg"]]>` should do the trick. The path is relative to your .jasper file.
Problem
I would like to embed an image into my JasperReports jrxml file. I have this directory structure. ``` Tomcat Root webapps reports -->images --> company_logo.jpg -->reports -->sample.jasper -->WEB-INF -->classes ``` And I tried doing this thinking that this is relative to my reports context root ``` <image> <reportElement x="0" y="0" width="104" height="40"/> <imageExpression class="java.lang.String"> <![CDATA["images/company_logo.jpg"]]> </imageExpression> </image> ``` ..and this also ``` <image> <reportElement x="0" y="0" width="104" height="40"/> <imageExpression class="java.lang.String"> <![CDATA["/images/company_logo.jpg"]]> </imageExpression> </image> ``` but it always says there was an error loading bytes from location `JRLoader`. I tried doing this and it works, but I am a bit confused why my first two attempt doesn't. Is this really how you embed images in JasperReports? Do you need to supply the whole path? I am thinking that there should be a page relative something. ``` <image> <reportElement x="0" y="0" width="104" height="40"/> <imageExpression class="java.lang.String"> <![CDATA["http://localhost:8080/reports/images/company_logo.jpg"]]> </imageExpression> </image> ``` I am a bit puzzled about the correct way.
