RE: accessing an image outside my webapp

[Michael McGrady]

You can do this so long as the parameter expects an output stream of some 
sort.  How that stream gets there is of no consequence, so long as whatever 
you use as the "src" etc. is sufficient to tell the server what to send 
back.  You can give a standard server URL and trust in the server to 
provide what the client needs or you can use something like: 
GetResource.do?file_type=gif&file_name=some.gif with the appropriate class 
to get an output stream from the response object and return the data with 
the correct content type.  I only return data this way, except with 
Applets, which are all screwed up.  That way the organization of resources 
on the server is completely dark to the view, except for Applets, which are 
all screwed up.  (Applets bifurcate the file and codebase names, making 
sensible organization impossible.  Anyone interested in this solution is 
invited to ask for it from me.

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.

just src rather than href

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