Hi,
can anyone help me:
In DB table I have number, which present barcode. I want to make image from
this number and insert it into generated report. I found examples on iText
pages, but i don't know, how can I insert this image during transformation
BIRT document to target document (HTML/PDF/Excel).

Any ideas?

Thanks

Tomas

Have partial solution, I'm able create barcode image on the fly:) So my next
question is - I have defined image in report, created image on disk (random
name). Is it possible to insert it into report by report definition?
Something like "when render report, make image and place it into document" ?
Thanks

Tomas

Tomas,

Can you try using a script similar to the following (oncreate for an
image). Set type to uri.

importPackage(Packages.java.io);
importPackage(Packages.java.lang);

var file = new File("c:/temp/test.png");
var ist = new FileInputStream(file);
var lengthi = file.length();

bytesa = new ByteArrayOutputStream( lengthi);
var c;
while((c=ist.read()) != -1){
bytesa.write(c);
}
ist.close();
this.data = bytesa.toByteArray();
