Hi All

I have a small problem with a report that has an image on the header
When I run the report on my development environment using the viewer I can see the image, actually I see the image on all the different outputs.

Then I transferred it to my run time environment (tomcat)
I don't see the image using the viewer , I see the image when the output is PDF or Word
I don't see the image when the output is html or excel.

Any ideas why this is happening ?

Thanks in advance

Hi all

I just update my run time version to 3.71, but still is happening.
On my preview designer environment I can see the image, even when I run it with the viewer.

I transfer my report to my tomcat server, then I see the image only when the output is PDF

The image is on the master page on the header .

Thanks for any tip.

What type of expression do you use for the image item?
Can you post the design?

Never mind
I found what the problem was.
Just in case some one come across with the same problem

1. I had the image referenced as URI with this javascript
this.URI = "file:///etc/cbn/birt/config/images/myimage.png";
That generates this in the xml file

<property name="source">url</property>
<expression name="uri" type="javascript">this.URI = "file:///etc/cbn/birt/config/images/myimage.png";</expression>
</image>
to fix the problem I referenced the image as a "imge file in shared resources" instead

That generates this in the xml file

<property name="source">file</property>
<expression name="uri" type="javascript">this.URI = "file:///etc/cbn/birt/config/images/myimage.png";</expression>
</image>

With the last approach I see the image in any output format
