path for image reference [message #689825]

Hi,

I have the following reference in a text control:

<img id="twistyImg_08" src="WebContent/report/images/CollapseInfoIcon.gif"

This works fine during development when I display the report in the viewer, however when the report is deployed to the server, the server can no longer find the image. I believe the "WebContent" part of the path is not required during deployment but is required in the development environment.
How can I make it so that the image works in both scenarios?

Thanks,
Mike

Can you try something like the following in your text element:
<div id="testimg">
<img id="myimg"
src=<VALUE-OF>reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getContextPath()
+"/webcontent/birt/images/Go.gif"</VALUE-OF> alt="my alt text" />
</div>

Hopefully you will not need it but you can check if you are in the
designer like:
if(
reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getAttribute("attributeBean").isDesigner()
){

BTW not sure if you read this but look at this post on images:

When I output the value of

reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getContextPath()

when running in the designer I just get

/viewer

which doesn't help. I'll try the other method and read that link you sent me.
