HO-LY Mackerel!
You sir, are a genius!
So ... for the benefit of future googlers ... set ${IMAGE} to 'Name' from AR
System Resource Definitions.
Since you're not including a file extension in your HTML source, it's important
to set the 'Mime Type' value correctly on AR System Resource Definitions.
One better.
Here's how you can directly access your images on midtier:
http://<hostname>/arsys/sharedresources/image/<'Name'>?server=<$SERVER$>
this is a huge help, dude!
again, thanks so much!
