Re: accessing an image outside my webapp

[Alain Van Vyve]

I think It is an intersting debate about relative versus absolute 
addressing ...
but I'm not relatively but absolutely lost ...
Here is my jsp source ...
What do I have to change ?

Thanks

              <td>
                <img src='<bean:write
                        name="HotelListForm"
                        property='<%= "hotelList.hotel[" + i + 
"].urlPhoto" %>' />'
                        alt='<bean:write
                        name="HotelListForm"
                        property='<%= "hotelList.hotel[" + i + 
"].urlPhoto" %>' />'
                        border=0 >
              </td>

I think robert it right, i've just tested it too. And i don't think that 
anyone is confused between absolute and relative addressing.

The client browser is making a request to a webserver using a "relative
address" I think it would be best to understand the difference between
"relative addressing" and "absolute addressing"

I don't think Tomcat does, but your local browser will.  You are sending
your browser a link that tells it to load a file on your file system.  It
will work fine if you are only running locally, but it won't work if you
try
to access that link from a browser on another machine unless that machine
also has the same file locally.

by jingo. it only works!!

just src rather than href

<html:img src="file:///test.jpg" />

I thought tomcat wouldn't have access to anything outside the webapp.

seems like an odd request... but here goes...

<html:img href="file://c:/photo directory/foo.gif"/>

html:img supports three attributes for specifyin the location of an
image
forward (referes to a global forward), page (relative to the current
web
context), and href (any valid URL).

I have a JSP where I would like to show an image located outside my
webapp
(e.g. in a c:\photo directory)  ...
How to do that with the <html:img> Struts tag ??

Thanks

Alain
