OK - figured it out. Thanks, Chris, for the tip. Here is the example (using
itext for pdf):
if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(logoFile))
{
try
{
Asset logoAss =
assetSource.getClasspathAsset("context:layout/images/" +
StringUtils.trimToEmpty(logoFile));
java.awt.Image logoImage =
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(logoAss.getResource().toURL());
if (logoImage != null)
{
com.itextpdf.text.Image logo2 =
com.itextpdf.text.Image.getInstance(logoImage, null);
if (logo2 != null)
{
table.addCell(new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Logo")));
table.addCell(logo2);
}
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
logger.info("Unable to process logo file " + logoFile + " while
rendering PDF of Orgs List");
logger.info(e);;
}
}
