Re: Storing and retrieving user uploaded images
Thanks everyone, I was able to fix it by doing:
When uploading a picture:
WebApplication.get().getServletContext().getRealPath("") + "/" +
"profilePics" + "/";
When retrieving a picture:
WebApplication.get().getServletContext().getContextPath() + "/" +
"profilePics" + "/" + userId + "/";

Re: Storing and retrieving user uploaded images
You can see how this works for you:
String path = WebApplication.get().getServletContext().getRealPath("");
Folder uploadFolder = new Folder(path+"/uploads");
public String getURLFolder(){
return
getServletContext().getContextPath()+uploadFolder.getPath().replace(path,
"");
}
I remember writing this a long time ago, looking at it now, not sure why or
what the difference is "getRealPath("")" and "getContextPath()", and not
sure if Wicket 1.5 changed this code, but this worked for me, though I hope
to migrate to a database that way there should be much much less issue in
regard to scaling to 20 servers... where sharing a database and backing up
is readily done and improved whereas sharing files probably not

Re: Storing and retrieving user uploaded images
don't use "." (current folder) in web apps
better user servletcontext.getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir") and
use that as root folder
if you need the uploads to be persistent (to be there after server restart)
then create your own folder (e.g. /apps/myapp/image-uploads)

Storing and retrieving user uploaded images
Hi, I'm having trouble storing user uploaded images. In my WicketApplication class, I setup a folder to store users pictures, so I end up with a folder structure similar to this: ROOT FOLDER - user1_folder (pic1.jpg, pic2.jpg, etc...) - user2_folder ( ... ) - ... The issue I am having is that this folder is created at "src/main/java" (I am using maven). When I run the application, the Root actually becomes the "webapp" folder, so the relative path changes. How can I unify this folder so that its absolute path remains the same no matter where it is called from? My current solutions is to hard-code it like: "/src/main/java" + userFolderName, but that's no the best way I'm sure.
