Use a relative URL - that's what I did. Granted my context root isn't the portal root, but it still resolves correctly for me on WebSphere portal and Jboss portal. I'd try to figure out why liferay is vomiting on the relative URL. If it doesn't like leaving out the leading "/", try putting in a "./".

Description: I'm trying to use the graphicImage component (aka HtmlGraphicImageTag) in a JSF portlet. The portal serving the portlet runs as the root context of the server. The portal is Liferay 3.6 So if I want to directly reference my webapp resources the URL's would look like this: http:HOSTIP/welcome.jsp and http:HOSTIP/styles.css Problem: In one of the JSP pages I use the GraphicImage Tag inside a Tree2 component to display images of folders. My problem is the URLs generated in the HTML document. >From this tag: <t:graphicImage value="/images/yellow-folder-closed.png" rendered="#{!t.nodeExpanded}" border="0"/> I get: <img id="irrelevantId" src="//images/yellow-folder-closed.png" border="0"/> On firefox(and I assume maybe Internet Exploder) this doesn't work. The double slash ruins it. It works fine it you put the URL directly in the addressbar, like so: http://HOSTIP//images/yellow-folder-closed.png , the browser resolves this double slash fine. But it seems inside a HTML document .. not soo much. Result is a missing image. If I try to remove the first '/' the portal chockes cheetos like so: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URL path must start with a '/' or include '://' at com.liferay.portlet.RenderResponseImpl.encodeURL(RenderResponseImpl.java :119) at org.apache.myfaces.context.portlet.PortletExternalContextImpl.encodeReso urceURL(PortletExternalContextImpl.java:197) at org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.HtmlImageRendererBase.encodeEnd(HtmlIm ageRendererBase.java:69) So it seems I must pass in an absolute path (or full server address) as the value of the URL. Short of doing full url, is there anything else I can do to make the URLs correct.? Does anyone have any experience with this inside a portal? thanks Henrik Bentel
