BIRT Dynamic Image Not Rendering on Report

I have a BIRT report design with a dynamic image (URL is specified through the data set, image formats tried - .png, .bmp). When running the report from our application on Windows, we get the following message instead of actual image:

Error when the Report is Rendered on Browser

The same problem occurs when including the image with a fixed URL - even though the image is displayed and loaded in the Report Designer, it's not rendered in the report generated from our application. Again, this happens only on Windows.

I have tried adding the Image in the following way: Adding the Image through Data-Set in Dynamic Way

The only way I managed to get the image into a rendered report was through embedding it (hard-coding the image ) into the report design file, which is not suitable as the image has to be dynamic.

Step which I followed

  1. First I created a Data source and data set to retrieve image from the database.

  2. Then I have used the image to create a dynamic image by creating data binding.

  3. When I try to view the report using BIRT Viewer, I am not able to view the image in the report.

System Information: Windows 8.1,

OpenText Analytics Designer Version: 4.6.0 Build id: v20160406

Any help in fixing this issue is greatly appreciated. We are doing this work for a non-profit and this a last missing piece in the report.

If the dataset contains only the URL to the image, you should use the URI option in the image properties window you displayed. There you can also select a javascript expression and choose the column from the table.

obviously the URL should be directly available from the system generating the report.
