I am using the direct='true' attribute to write the String
'images/example.gif' to the template file. The trouble is that in the
template file, you cannot embed the <template:get> tag within the
<html:img> page attribute.
I think I'm going to end up with lots of tiny jsp pages containing only
image tags!
Thanks ayway,
-James
