Display byte array image or ole object in Section through dynamic code?

To Start I am a Complete Newbe to Crystal Reports. I have taken over a project originally written in VS2003 asp.net using SQL Server 2005 and older version of Crytal Reports. I have moved project to VS2010 and Cryatal Reports 10 still using SQL Server 2005. Have multiple reports (14 to be exact) that display data currently being pulled from database suing a dataset, each report has from 4 to 14 Sections. I have modified database table with two new fields. Field1 contains string data with full path to a scanned document (pdf or jpeg). Field2 holds a byte array of the actual image of the scanned document. I have tested the database and it does infact contain the byte array and can display the image via VB.net code. I can make the report display the scanned image using ole object.
Now my real question: I need to add a new Section and it should display either the byte array of the scanned image or the actual scanned image (pdf or jpeg) . How can I have it do either of these options via code dynamicly while application is running?

First; only CRVS2010 is supported on VS2010. You can download CRVS2010 from here;
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
Developer Help files are here:

SAP Crystal Reports .NET SDK Developer Guide http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/sapCRVS2010/en/crnet_dg_2010_en.zip
To add the images, you have a number of options re. how to. You even have two SDKs that y ou can use (RAS and CR).
Perhaps the best place to start is with KB [1296803 - How to add an image to a report using the Crystal Reports .NET InProc RAS SDK|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233393336333833303333%7D.do]. The KB describes how to add images to a report using the InProc RAS SDK, but also references other KBs that use CR SDK.

  • Displaying Byte Array images in coldfusion

    This has been driving me crazy for a couple of days now.I
    have a Java class that returns pictures stored in a DB as a Byte
    Array.
    I am able to display the image but that is all i am able to
    do - I want to display the image name, description etc in a HTML
    before i display the actual image but i can't seem to find a way to
    do that.
    I tried using CFcontent as well and that did not help
    either.This is what i am currently doing - and all that displays on
    the screen is the picture and all content before the picture is
    nowhere to be seen.
    Picture Name: #variables.picName#
    Picture Description:#variables.picDescription#
    <cfscript>
    context = getPageContext();
    response = context.getResponse().getResponse();
    out = response.getOutputStream();
    response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
    response.setContentLength(arrayLen(session.picture));
    out.write(session.picture);
    out.flush();
    out.close();
    </cfscript>
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Mark,
    Note that the portal sets the content type (e.g, text/html) and encoding
    as the portal page starts rendering. In your case, the
    setContentType() would be useless since the servlet container won't let
    you change it. You can either use a popup browser window for the pdf as
    Kunal suggested, or use an iframe if you want to render the pdf inside
    the portlet window.

    I have now compiled the ImageServlet I have adapted slightly from http://balusc.xs4all.nl/srv/dev-jep-img.html

    </body>
    </html>
    but all that is displayed is the word Plan.

    }The servlet isn't being called - nothing is output to my server log file. Changing the name of my servlet doesn't change the result.
    I can't see why the servlet isn't being called.
    I have built another simple servlet that does work so I know my server is OK.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Good day.
    I have a byte[] and then I have used

    This on my web server that has public_html as root web directory.
    The server is in multi domain.
    In this mode I have an error.
    Then I have tryied to use
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("http://www.stefanoerrani.it/mcfoto/foto1.png");
    and
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(getServletContext().getRealPath("http://www.stefanoerrani.it/mcfoto/foto1.png"));

  • Converting Image to Byte Array and then to String

    Hi All...
    Can anyone please help me. I have got a problem while converting a Byte array of BufferedImage to String.
    This is my code, First i convert a BufferedImage to a byte array using ImageIO.wirte
    public String dirName="C:\\image";
    ByteArrayOutputStream baos=new ByteArrayOutputStream(1000);
    BufferedImage img=ImageIO.read(new File(dirName,"red.jpg"));
    ImageIO.write(img, "jpg", baos);
    baos.flush();
    byte[] resultimage=baos.toByteArray();
    baos.close();
    Then i tried to convert this byte array to a string
    String str=new String(resultimage);
    byte[] b=str.getBytes();
    This much worked fine. But when i reversed this process to re-create the image from that string. i found the image distroted.
    BufferedImage imag=ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(b));
    ImageIO.write(imag, "jpg", new File(dirName,"snap.jpg"));
    I got this snap.jpg as distroted.
    Please help me i have to convert the image to a string and again i have to re-create the image from that string.

    To conver the bytearray to string use base64.encoding
    String base64String= Base64.encode(baos.toByteArray());
    To convert back use Base64.decode;
    byte[] bytearray = Base64.decode(base64String);
    BufferedImage imag=ImageIO.read(bytearray);

  • Byte Array from SQL Reporting Service

    I am calling the Render method of the Microsoft SQL Reporting
    Service's ReportExecution web service. It returns a Byte array in
    the lastResult object. I am having the hardest time figuring out a
    way to convert that byte array into something I can use in Flex.
    The byte array, once converted into a more user friendly format,
    will contain the rendered version of a SQL Report in whatever
    format I have specified...in this case it is XML. Any input or
    suggestions would be appreciated.

    This is a little late, I know. but I just spent the day
    struggling with this very issue. Hopefully this can help someone
    else in the future. Here's my solution...
    on MX:Operation -- result="fillXML()"
    then
    private function fillXML(): void {
    var x:XML = new
    XML(wsProps.GetDatasetData.lastResult.toString());
    ...do what you need with your xml...
    I use an XMLList node of the result as the source property
    for an XMLListCollection bound to a datagrid. Let me know if you
    need more help to get it working. It works like a charm now that I
    figured that out. I don't know if it's a slimy hack, or not, but it
    gets the job done.

    do a check on the wsdl file and how you are passing values in the proxy. The tags for XML are not correct. Open the WSDL in IE and see there must be an error. Or probably when passing the actual values to the XML generated each element is not closed properly. Error says tags dont match.

  • Reading in any file and converting to a byte array

    Okay what I am trying to do is to write a program that will read in any file and convert it into a int array so that I can then manipulate the values of the int array and then re-write the file. Once I get the file into an int array I want to try and compress the data with my own algorithm as well as try to write my own encryption algorithm.
    What I have been looking for is code samples that essentially read in the file as a byte array and then I have been trying to convert that byte array into an int array which I could then manipulate. So does anyone have any sample code that essentially takes a file and converts it into an int array and then converts it back into a byte array and write the file. I have found code that is close but I guess I am just too new to this. Any help would be appreciated.

    You can read a whole file into a byte array like this:File f = new File("somefile");
    int size = (int) f.length();
    byte[] contents = new byte[size];
    DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(
                              new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(f)));
    in.readFully(contents);
    in.close();Note that you need to add in the proper exception handling code. You could also use RandomAccessFile instead of the DataInputStream.
    Writing a byte array to a file is easier; just construct the FileOutputStream, call write on it with the byte array, and close the stream.

  • Display an object of Image type or Byte Array

    Hi, lets say i got an image stored in the Image format or byte[]. How can i make it display the image on the screen by taking the values in byte array or Image field?

    Thanks rahul,
    The thing is, i am generating a chart in a servlet
    and setting the image in the form of a byte [] to the
    view bean ( which is binded to the jsp, springs
    framework ). The servlet would return the view bean
    to the jsp and in the jsp, i am suppose to print this
    byte array so as to give me the image..
    I hope this makes sense.. pls help me ou!Well letme see if i got tht right or not,
    you are trying to call Your MODEL (Business layer / Spring Container) from a servlet and you are expressing that logic in form of chart (Image) and trying to save it as a byte array in a view bean and you want to print /display that as an image in a jsp (After Servlet fwd / redirect action) which includes other data using a ViewBean.
    If this is the case...
    As the forwaded JSP can include both image and Textual (hypertext too)..we can try a work around hear...Lets dedicate a Servlet which retreives byte [] from a view bean and gives us an image output. hear is an example and this could be a way.
    Prior to that i'm trying to make few assumptions here....
    1).The chart image which we are trying to express would of format JPEG.
    2).we are trying to take help of<img> tag to display the image from the image generating servlet.
    here is my approach....
    ViewBean.java:
    ============
    public class ViewBean implements serializable{
    byte piechart[];
    byte barchart[];
    byte chart3D[];
    public ViewBean(){
    public byte[] getPieChart(){
    return(this.piechart);
    public byte[] getBarChart(){
    return(this.barchart);
    public byte[] get3DChart(){
    return(this.chart3D);
    public void setPieChart(byte piechart[]){
    this.piechart = piechart;
    public void setBarChart(byte barchart[]){
    this.barchart = barchart;
    public void set3DChart(byte chart3D[]){
    this.chart3D = chart3D;
    }ControllerServlet.java:
    =================
    (This could also be an ActionClass(Ref Struts) a Backing Bean(Ref JSF) or anything which stays at the Controller Layer)
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException{
    /* There are few different implementations of getting   BeanFactory Resource
    In,the below example i have used XmlBeanFactory Object to create an instance of (Spring) BeanFactory */
    BeanFactory factory =
    new XmlBeanFactory(new FileInputStream("SpringResource.xml"));
    //write a Util Logic in your Implementation class using JFreeChart (or some open source chart library) and express the images by returning a  byte[]
    ChartService chartService =
    (GreetingService) factory.getBean("chartService");
    ViewBean vb = new ViewBean();
    vb.setPieChart(chartService.generatePieChart(request.getParameter("<someparam>"));
    vb.setBarChart(chartService.generateBarChart(request.getParameter("<someparam1>"));
    vb.set3DChart(chartService.generate3DChart(request.getParameter("<someparam2>"));
    chartService = null;
    HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
    session.setAttribute("ViewBean",vb);
    response.sendRedirect("jsp/DisplayReports.jsp");
    }DisplayReports.jsp :
    ================
    <%@ page language="java" %>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>reports</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h1 align="center">Pie Chart </h1>
    <center><img src="ImageServlet?req=1" /></center>
    <h1 align="center">Bar Chart </h1>
    <center><img src="ImageServlet?req=2" /></center>
    <h1 align="center">3D Chart</h1>
    <center><img src="ImageServlet?req=3" /></center>
    </body>
    </html>ImageServlet.java
    ==============
    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
           byte buffer[];
            HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
            ViewBean vb = (ViewBean) session.getAttribute("ViewBean");
            String req = request.getParameter("req");
            if(req.equals("1") == true)       
                buffer = vb.getPieChart();
            else if(req.equals("2") == true)
                 buffer = vb.getBarChart();
            else if(req.equals("3") == true)
                 buffer = vb.get3DChart();
            JPEGImageDecoder decoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGDecoder(new ByteArrayInputStream(buffer));
            BufferedImage image =decoder.decodeAsBufferedImage() ;
            response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
            // Send back image
            ServletOutputStream sos = response.getOutputStream();
            JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(sos);
            encoder.encode(image);
        }Note: Through ImageServlet is a Servlet i would categorise it under presentation layer rather to be a part of Controller and added to it all this could be easily relaced by a reporting(BI) server like JasperServer,Pentaho,Actuate................
    Hope the stated implementation had given some idea to you....
    However,If you want to further look into similar implementations take a look at
    http://www.swiftchart.com/exampleapp.htm#e5
    which i believe to be a wonderful tutor for such implementations...
    However, there are many simple (Open) solutions to the stated problem.. if you are Using MyFaces along with spring... i would recommend usage of JSF Chart Tag which is very simple to use all it requires need is to write a chart Object generating methos inside our backing bean.
    For further reference have a look at the below links
    http://www.jroller.com/page/cagataycivici?entry=acegi_jsf_components_hit_the
    http://jsf-comp.sourceforge.net/components/chartcreator/index.html
    NOTE:I've tried it personally using MyFaces it was working gr8 but i had a hardtime on deploying my appln on a Portal Server(Liferay).If you find a workaround i'd be glad to know about it.
    & there are many BI Open Source Server Appls that can take care of this work too.(Maintainace wud be a tough ask when we go for this)
    For, the design perspective had i've been ur PM i wud have choose BI Server if it was corporate web appln on which we work on.
    Hope this might be of some help :)

  • How to load and display a byte array (jpeg) image file dynamically in Flex?

    My web service client (servlet) received a binary jpeg data from an Image Server. The Flex application invokes the
    servlet via HttpService and receives the binary jpeg data as byte array.  How could it be displayed dynamically
    without writing the byte array to a jpeg file?  Please help (some sample code is very much appreciated).

    JPEGEncoder is only useful for converting BitmapData to ByteArray, not the other way around.
    By the way JPEGEncoder and PNGEncoder are part of the Flex SDK now, so no need to use AS3Lib (alltough it's a good library to have around).
    To display/use a ByteArray as image, use a Loader instance with the loadBytes method.
        Loader.loadBytes(bytes:ByteArray, context:LoaderContext = null);
    Listen for the complete event on the Loader.contentLoaderInfo and get the BitmapData in the event handler.
    private function loadJpeg():void {
        var loader:Loader = new Loader();
        loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderCompleteHandler);
        //jpgBA is the ByteArray loaded from webservice
        loader.loadBytes(jpgBA);
    private function loaderCompleteHandler(evt:Event):void {
        var t:LoaderInfo = evt.currentTarget as LoaderInfo;
        // display the jpeg in an Image component
        img.source = t.content;
    <mx:Image id="img" scaleContent="false" />

  • How do i convert an image object to a byte array ?

    Hi
    how do i convert an image object into a byte array
    early reply apperciated

    Oh sorry my method and the other method need to have the pixels from the Image passed to them which you get my using pixelgrabber:
    //create width and height variables from image
              int w = img.getWidth(this);
              int h = img.getHeight(this);
              //retrive picture from image
              int[] pix = new int[w * h];
              PixelGrabber pg = new PixelGrabber(img, 0, 0, w, h, pix, 0, w);
              try{ pg.grabPixels();
              } catch (InterruptedException ioe) {
                   System.err.println("Interrupted");
              if ((pg.getStatus() & ImageObserver.ABORT) != 0) {
              System.err.println("image fetch aborted or errored");
              }
