Jasper: printing unstored Servoy calcs. Possible?

Classic Servoy
1

Hi,
i have a very complex print I’d like to move to Jasper but, amongst all the difficulties I have to face, one seems to be a show stopper: I’m using an unstored calc field to show images coming from the server filesystem.
The calc is something like:

if (utils.hasRecords(offerlines_to_images))
	return  application.getServerURL()+ '/' + offerlines_to_images.dirnam+ '/'+ offerlines_to_images.filnam;

The print I need to move to Jasper can have dozen of pages and each page can show up to 20 of those images.
The images are not on the db, so I can’t query them. Maybe I can pass them using a foundset, but is it possible?

Ric,

I am not a jasper report export, but it seems that you can use an url in an imageExpression in a jasper report.
If the calc is stored you can use this both in an sql-base report and a foundset-based report.

This could be an option, but I’ve to see if I can send the data of un unstored calc in a foundset to jasper

Unfortunately the calc must be unstored.

Ah, I read stored where you wrote unstored.

Yes, (un)stored calcs, aggregates, relations, global methods are available in a foundset-based jasper report.
