<p>Good day, I'm in the process of cleaning up and optimizing my company's report and notice that part of the slowness of generation is coming from a few null images pulled from a dataset (from the Dynamic Image option) with the following error:</p>
<p> </p>
<p class=""><span style="color:#ff0000;">org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.EmitterUtil getImage</span></p>
<p class=""><span style="color:#ff0000;">SEVERE: null</span></p>
<p class=""> </p>
<p class="">The problem is that for these images, some use cases will make it null.</p>
<p class=""> </p>
<p class="">I have tried two options for this:</p>
<p class=""> </p>
<p class="">1. Making the image element's visibility false if row["URL"] == null with the dataset bound to the image element.</p>
<p class=""> </p>
<p class="">2. Had the image element inside a grid element with dataset bound to the grid and making the grid's visibility false if row["URL"] == null, hoping it wouldn't process the image and generate this error</p>
<p class=""> </p>
<p class="">Both those attempts still bring up the error in my server's console log.</p>
<p class=""> </p>
<p class="">Removing the image element from the template removes the error in my console so it's confirmed that the error is being thrown by this image.</p>
<p class=""> </p>
<p class="">Is there a way I can prevent the processing of the image if the dataset's value is null?</p>
<p class=""> </p>
<p class="">Thank you in advance for your time</p>
