I don't think that's the problem. <url-patten>/image</url-pattern> should match the url: http://somehost/image?something=xxx I think the poster may have got the context path mucked up. The request path he gave for calling his image directly was this: http://localhost:8080/demo/image which indicates that the webapp is mapped to /demo on localhost. But he said he was putting the following in his HTML page: <img src='/image?name=imagename'> Well, that's never going to work because /image is not bound to anything. Instead he should use: <img src='/demo/image?name=imagename'/> Or alternately use relative paths. If the HTML page is being served from, for example /demo/index.html then his HTML could be this: <img src="image?name=imagename"/> In a more advanced note: if relative paths are not possible then you can still make your HTML position portable by generating the link to the image in a servlet, eg: out.println(request.getContextPath() + "/image?name=imagename"); -- Nic Ferrier http://www.tapsellferrier.co.uk ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
