Thanks for the quick reply,
I have spent some time looking over the JSF examples, including the
sandboxes graphicDynamicImage. My problem really lies in displaying an
image from outside the deployment directory. There is no dynamic action
needed in my application so I thought the standard graphicImage would do,
just not sure why my <graphicImage value="C:\images\uniqueId"> wouldn't
work.
I will look into extending the imagerenderer to read images from a directory
on the hard drive, though if anyone knows a simple example of using the
graphicImage and reading from a standard windows folder, the help would be
much appreciated.
Thanks
Michael.
