Return a byte[] array from Java extension function to JavaScript [message #788036]

I have created a functions library that contains some BIRT extension functions, something like this .

I have a problem with a function that return an image as a byte array (byte[]), though the function work properly (the byte array is properly returned), when i assign the byte array result of this function to an image control through the onRender script :

this.data = MyFunctions.getImage();

I get an error datatype not compatible, Why ? How can i make it work ?

Have you tried in the onCreate script? I used the following code on an
image example:

importPackage(Packages.java.io);
importPackage(Packages.java.lang);
importPackage(Packages.java.net);
importPackage(Packages.javax.imageio);

//File Based
//var myfile = new Packages.java.io.File("c:/test/green.png");
//var img = ImageIO.read(myfile);

//URL Based
//Jar image in resource folder
//var jarfile = reportContext.getResource("birtimages.jar");
//var myfulljarimagestr = "jar:"+jarfile.toString()+"!/red.png";
//var myurl = new Packages.java.net.URL(myfulljarimagestr);

//Image in resource folder
//var myurl = reportContext.getResource("green.png");

//Image at url
var myurl = new
Packages.java.net.URL("http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse.org-common/themes/Nova/images/eclipse.png");

var img = ImageIO.read(myurl);
bas = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ImageIO.write(img, "png", bas);
this.data = bas.toByteArray();

Make sure the type is set to dynamic image.

Yes, but the problem is that i load the image with an external function written in java, then in the onCreate script i have this code :

this.data = MyFunctions.getImage();

getImage() is a function into a java jar library (extension functions) that return a byte array (byte[]) i get an error as the type is not correct, maybe the byte[] is in java format and this.data require it in javascript format ? Is it possible to make it work ?

If i write my code in JAvascript function everything work correctly. but i want to have my code into a java exntension library.

Can you post the code for the getImage function?

It was a stupid mistake into the function, now it's working.

Thanks anyway.
