Hi again Tim :) Thanks for the reply, but I'll be able to get my hands again on my project only tomorrow. I'll try what you say, then I'll mail you again. Cheers!
Andrea 2006/6/26, Tim Lucia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
The servlet looks OK -- I didn't compile or run it or anything. When you say a blank image -- are you requesting the servlet URL directly from the browser? I'd snoop on the headers and see what comes back. It sounds like it got a 404 or some other error. 1. Check http://your-host/path/.../servlet?ID=n with a browser -- check the headers (TamperData, etc. for FireFox) 2. Check the Tomcat logs for a 40x or 50x error 3. Check the path in the .jsp <img.../> tag and make sure it matches the path for #1.
