Hey Howdy, Right now I'm using Apache on my front end server connected to Tomcat on my backend server. All my dynamic web stuff is served through Apache using Tomcat, which I'm running a Turbine based application on.
I've got a couple situations where I'm using Turbine/Velocity to send a PDF directly to a raw screen template. The user clicks something like, "Hey, let me see this PDF report", and an action sets the template, and content type and so on, then sends the PDF back. Works great! Presto! The user gets a fancy looking Acrobat report in their browser window (providing they have the reader installed). Now I have a situation where I'm going to convert the PDF to a PBM (Portable Bitmap) but I want to return the bitmap inside a Velocity template with other html. I DON'T want to transfer the PBM file directly to a raw template, and I DON'T want to transfer the PBM from the backend server to the frontend server to be delivered by Apache. Is there a way to do this - embed picture data inside an html doc? Thanks very much, Jeff Owens
