Add image from xml datasource to BIRT report [message #799710]

Hello

Is it possible to add an image to a BIRT report from an XML datasource? I tried using the "Dynamic Image" approach, but this only allows me to add images from DB datasources that include the image as a BLOB. I have a string in my xml which refers to the image location on my filesystem.

Thanks for the help

Is it file pointer? If so you could always use the URI image and assign
it the row value or use an oncreate script for the image like:

this.URI = "file://C:/test/image.png";
or
var img = this.getRowData().getColumnValue("myrowimage");
this.URI = img;

Also have a look at :
