It should be in the resources folder.

<p>I should have mentioned that I have tried a number of locations including WEB-INF/resources with the same results.</p><p> </p><div style="margin:0px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">I have tried the following xml snippets for the image definition...</div><div style="margin:0px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;"> <expression name="uri" type="constant">CustomerLogo.jpg</expression></div><div style="margin:0px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;"> <expression name="uri" type="constant">resources/CustomerLogo.jpg</expression></div><div style="margin:0px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;"><div style="margin:0px;"> <expression name="uri" type="constant">WebContent/resources/CustomerLogo.jpg</expression></div><div> <expression name="uri" type="constant">repository/CustomerLogo.jpg</expression></div><div><div style="margin:0px;"> <expression name="uri" type="constant">repository/images/CustomerLogo.jpg</expression></div><div> </div></div></div><div style="margin:0px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">Embedded images work, but some images I need to pull from files</div><div style="margin:0px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;"> </div><div style="margin:0px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">Can you post a quick and easy report for tomcat that demonstrates this capability?</div><div style="margin:0px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;"> </div><div style="margin:0px;color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">Thanks</div>

I don't see an issue with it. Can you attach a simple design and image that will show me the issue? Maybe we're using different builds. I'll check it out with your sample, when you provide it.

<p>I may have found my problem.</p><p> </p><p>I had imported WL_TOMCAT_ActuateBIRTViewer as a web project in eclipse and was constructing the reports in that project in WEB_INF/repository. I was using the image properties dialog to locate the image. It looked OK in the preview, but when I ran the webapp in an eclipse tomcat server, the report could not find the image. This is the environment I was reporting against. (I found out later that if I placed the image in the webapp root, the image would be found)</p><p> </p><p>On the other hand, if the WL_TOMCAT_ActuateBIRTViewer.war is deployed to a tomcat server and the report and image is simply copied (report -> root/WEB_INF/repostory; image -> root/resources) then the report properly displays the image.</p><p> </p><p>So, it would appear that perhaps I don't quite have WL_TOMCAT_ActuateBIRTViewer setup correctly in eclipse.</p><p> </p><p>For now, I can work around the problem now that I know how to deal with it.</p>

Great. Glad you figured something out. Let me know if you run into further issues.
