Re: accessing an image outside my webapp

[Michael McGrady]

The issue, again, is not about absolute versus relative addressing.  The 
issue is whether you are giving the server the information it needs to 
return the resource.  That can be accomplished in innumerable ways.

The client browser is making a request to a webserver using a "relative
address" I think it would be best to understand the difference between
"relative addressing" and "absolute addressing"

I don't think Tomcat does, but your local browser will.  You are sending
your browser a link that tells it to load a file on your file system.  It
will work fine if you are only running locally, but it won't work if you
try
to access that link from a browser on another machine unless that machine
also has the same file locally.

by jingo. it only works!!

just src rather than href

<html:img src="file:///test.jpg" />

I thought tomcat wouldn't have access to anything outside the webapp.

seems like an odd request... but here goes...

<html:img href="file://c:/photo directory/foo.gif"/>

html:img supports three attributes for specifyin the location of an
image
forward (referes to a global forward), page (relative to the current
web
context), and href (any valid URL).

I have a JSP where I would like to show an image located outside my
webapp
(e.g. in a c:\photo directory)  ...
How to do that with the <html:img> Struts tag ??

Thanks

Alain
