Inserting an SVG image from XML DataSource into BIRT report

Hello!

I have an XML file which servers as a DataSource. Inside the xml I have an SVG bit which describes the image.
How can I refer to this image and insert it in the BIRT report??

Hi AlexA,

Can you supply the SVG data for testing?

Hello Michael!<br />
<br />
I just want to mention that at the end I would like to generate a PDF file. As far as the image is a barcode I need really good quality in the resulted pdf.<br />
Methods described here <a class='bbc_url' href='http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.birt/msg27309.html'>http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.birt/msg27309.html</a> wont work for me cause the guy uses them to generate html reports and basically rely that browsers would render svg files. (for example IE7 doesn?t understand svg format. plugin need to be installed)<br />
<br />
Here is the svg file:<br />
<br />
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="15mm" viewBox="0 0 23.1 15" width="23.1mm"><g style="fill:black; stroke:none"><rect height="11.3316" width="0.42" x="2.1" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.21" x="2.73" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.63" x="3.36" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.42" x="4.41" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.42" x="5.25" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.42" x="5.88" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.63" x="6.72" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.42" x="7.56" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.63" x="8.19" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.21" x="9.03" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.63" x="9.45" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.42" x="10.29" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.21" x="11.34" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.21" x="12.39" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.42" x="12.81" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.42" x="13.65" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.42" x="14.28" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.84" x="14.91" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.21" x="15.96" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.42" x="17.01" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.21" x="17.64" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.42" x="18.27" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.63" x="19.32" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.21" x="20.16" y="0"/><rect height="11.3316" width="0.42" x="20.58" y="0"/><text style="font-family:Helvetica; font-size:2.8219; text-anchor:middle" x="11.55" y="13.9544">0123456789</text></g></svg>
