iText image in java servlet

Question

I\'m doing the letter generation with iText (pdf/rtf) in java servlet and got a problem with accessing images. The images are in the WebContent/images folder. When I run it

Answer 1

So I had the same problem, I wanted to add an image to the pdf but through a relative path, so when I made a executable program it would work in any computer, even if it had or not the image saved.

I found a way where you add the image as a resource of your application. You need to put the image inside the src directory or the dir of the class where you call it and then you can use the following code:

Image image = Image.getInstance(yourClassName.class.getResource("/yourImageName")));

If you put the image inside a folder then, obviously, you'll need to add the path through the folders name ("folderName/yourImageName"). Hope it helps!
