Hi everyone, I've encountered a bizarre problem with Tomcat 4 stand-alone, regarding the loading of graphics. Some of the graphics for my site wil load, while others will not, as if they weren't located on the server. After thorough experimentation with what's NOT happening, I'm forced to believe that it's the server that's causing the problem. I searched the tomcat list archives and couldn't find a similar report, so I'm hoping that someone out there has experienced this anomaly. Your feedback is much appreciated.
Just to clarify what is NOT happening: 1. The graphics (.gif format) are properly located on the server, in valid file formats, with correct permissions. 2. When forcing the server to load a graphic, either by selecting "Show Picture" from the browser's context menu or accessing a single graphic through a URL request, the graphic loads correctly every time. 3. This symptom may occur even on tiled images, such as body background graphics. Some of the tiles draw, while others do not. This symptom is present on IE5 and Netscape 6.2, tested on Win2k and MacOS X. 4. The problem occurs randomly; it does not seem to be predictable/reproduceable. A graphic will load correctly in one instance and fail to load in another. _____________________________ scott judd programmer the american education corporation
