Large sites will use a single URL that ends up resolving the images from some kind of data source. That data source might be a disk (e.g. you could forward to the DefaultServlet) or a database (relational or otherwise) where you would write your own servlet to retrieve the data yourself. I would use a servlet that gets the image identifier from the request parameters or "path info" and then continues from there. As Konstantin points out, using Tomcat's "aliases" feature means that these requests may have to perform a linear search through all the aliases to find the requested resource. If you write a custom servlet, it will likely perform much better than that. Hope that helps, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlBRSGUACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAIbACfYgbM2eyv5TD8uYC7GfV2taUB uOAAn1RHpGwal9jkMe6HRiBazEAJ6CCa =jqvA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
