Reference Images on File System [message #783884]

I am using the BIRT viewer 3.7. I am creating a report that uses pictures of individuals that I do not want to be available through a URL. The report tries to display the picture of each person record in my Data Set. In developing the reports you are able to use "file:///" instead of "http://" to reference a report on the filesystem. This does not work on the BIRT viewer however.

Is there someway to access images on the filesystem. Or is there some way I can avoid putting these images on the Internet/Intranet (http://) to create my report.

I am currently using a URI image (e.g. "http://msmprdrpt.byu.edu:8080/birt/photos/" + row["photo_path"]) but I'd prefer to do something like (e.g. "file:///opt/report/photos/" + row["photo_path"]).
