Images in JRC
<p>I am trying to provide an integrated Crystal Viewer in a Java desktop application, and cannot get images to display in the ReportViewerBean.</p><p> My report's data source is a TTX Field Definition file, because we are not guaranteed to have server access when running reports. As an extremely simple case, I've designed a report with two fields: ID and Drawing. The ID field is self-explanatory. The drawing field is the problem.</p><p> So far, I've tried using the "dynamic image" feature new to CR 11.5, storing the image in the database and passing it in as a field in the result set, and attempting to pass it in as a byte array member of a POJO. None of these work. Both the POJO and java.sql.resultset attempts threw an exception from within the ReportViewerBean "Couldn't read stream" which hung the application.</p><p> Is anyone successfully displaying images in the Java Reporting Component's ReportViewerBean object? If so, how are you supplying the data? Does the image have to be of a specific type? If so, what type of image does it have to be?</p><p>If anyone can offer some advice or suggestions, I would really appreciate it. If I can't get this figured out, we're going to have to find a different product for reporting and my boss won't be happy about that.</p><p>Thank you, Erika</p>
