Hi Peter, Thanks for your wicked fast help!!!! I am unsure of what you mean byt setting up a META-INF/context.xml inside my app. Where/how do I create this? Should I be able to view images if I call them directly like here http://207.97.221.210:8080/jsp-examples/wirefusion/ScreenshotServer.jsp ?
This is totally new to me so I appreciate your patience with a no0b! Cheers.
