JasperReports API. Getting error when using Image in report: net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Byte data not found at

Question

I want to print a JasperReports\'s report via Java.

So I wrote a code as follows

 try {
            String r =\"C:\\\\ireport\\\\Foods.jrxml\"         


        

Answer 1

The good way it to use report's parameter for passing the image. And I believe that passing image as BufferedImage object is a good choice in your case.

The sample of usage

The Java code snippet

Map<String, Object> parameters = new HashMap<>();
try (InputStream inputStream = YourClass.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("images/flower1.png")) {
    parameters.put("flowerImage", ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(JRLoader.loadBytes(inputStream))));
} catch (JRException | IOException e) {
     throw new RuntimeException("Failed to load images", e);
}
JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, parameters, connection);

The snippet of jrxml file

<parameter name="logoImage" class="java.awt.Image"/>
...
<image scaleImage="FillFrame">
    <reportElement x="10" y="0" width="224" height="43"/>
    <imageExpression><![CDATA[$P{flowerImage}]]></imageExpression>
</image>
