title: How to force image url in jasper report export to HTML?
body: <p>A report uses images on a web-server (but not necessarily the application's web-server). The report has an image element expression as follows: </p>
  
  <pre><code>"http://www.example.de/images/" + $F{picture}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I export the report to HTML using the <code>JRXhtmlExporter</code> and display the generated HTML in a browser, the image is not visible. When I inspect the img tag with firebug the src parameter is not the same as the expression but some generated folder and generated file name. If the report is exported to PDF via <code>JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfStream()</code> the image is displayed correctly in the resulting PDF file.</p>
  
  <p>I set <strong><code>JRHtmlExporterParameter.IS_OUTPUT_IMAGES_TO_DIR</code></strong> to <code>Boolean.FALSE</code>, but it didn't help.</p>
  
  <p>How can I force that the image url stays the same while exporting?</p>
