Hi,  
I am trying to create an pdf report by using ruby jasper pages. For that  
I have written customer\_list.rxml file like this:

xml.instruct!  
xml.customer\_list\_result do  
xml.invoice\_customers do  
@customers.each do |customer|  
xml \<\<  
customer.to\_xml(:dasherize=\>false,:skip\_instruct=\>true,:only=\>[:id,:name,:city],:root=\>“customer”)  
end  
end  
end

I want to add an image tag into this xml data, so that image will be  
displayed on the pdf.  
I have customer\_image field in customers table.  
Can anyone help me out for this?

Thanks,  
Tushar
