See that's why my problem came about.
I wanted to save on the local folder thinking it would be simple to use
graphicimage with either c:\\images\\uniqueId or c:\images or c:/images but
I haven't found any way to work yet. I think it might be helped if I pass
the image directory location from the java class. The strange thing I
noticed from the page source after JSF had rendered was that the windows \
was not shown in the source. That's why I thought it might be related to
the graphicImage tag's use of the \ symbol, even when \\ was used.
I can't seem to find an example anywhere online where the tag is used to
read from outside the deployment directory, maybe the original idea for
writing a renderer so the directory for the images can be set is the only
way to go about this.
