Hi Eliot,
the content in the webap/static folder is served statically at the
.../static/myresource path.
Symlinking your folder in there should do the trick. At least up to
previous versions of Basex. You could just ad <img
src="/static/myresoiurce"/> in your page...
I think I've read in tne ML about some issues recently with symlinking
but I have not investigated in depth the issue ...
Check it out.

In my RESTXQ application, I have the XML content in a database but the
images referenced from that content is only in a local clone of the
git repository from which the XML content is loaded into BaseX.
I would like to serve the images from RESTXQ-generated HTML Pages but
I’m not sure how to do that other than to use URLs that include the
base64 image data directly.
What I think I need to do is implement a RESTXQ end point that handles
image URLs that I know how to convert into image files on the file
system but I don’t see how to then return the raw bytes as the return
result from the RESTXQ handler function.
I’m trying to avoid copying the images because there’s no other reason
to have them in a database or otherwise copy them somewhere else on
the file system.
I suppose I could symlink the git directories under the webapp
directory but that seems kind of icky too.
Thanks,
E.
