I built an application on WLS 6.1 using Struts 1.0 that supported display of user-uploaded content. Several keys to this were:
1) I had to deploy the web app in exploded format 2) If WLS was run in Production Mode I had to call a little runtime script that deployed (refreshed) the new content (otherwise, it would not be available) 3) I stored the content in a context-relative folder -- though, I used a database table to hold content metadata which included the content mime type, the context-relative URL, and user-supplied title and description, and system-generated file name. 4) I used the Struts support for upload to perform the upload. Let me know if this helps -- If you have specific questions e-mail me directly as this is a bit OT for Struts. -----Original Message----- From: Amit Badheka [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 4:16 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Access external file from web application Hi All, Is there any way to access a file(image,..etc) from the web application. the path of the image is dynamically generated. The requirement is that we have to upload a image file and store it to somewhere on server at dynamically generated path. Now, Problem is how I should refer this file from the application, As the application don't know the path at the time of implementation(application).
