Hi.
Take a look at the sandbox graphicDynamicImage. There you can write your
own ImageRenderer and you're free where you read the images from.
In my webapp uploaded files go to a separate directory outside the
deployment directory of tomcat. The ImageRenderer reads files from there
and displays them to the user.
Perhaps it helps.
regards,
Veit
