Hey Andrew,
I appreciate the response. Wanted to let you know that I did get
things working. Your URL trick helped a lot. As for the image, I
hear you on the images in the db thing. While that is a discussion
entirely it's own it only kind of works in my case. Your right about
pulling the BLOB from the db and the WOImage and mime type and all
that, unfortunately I can't use the data directly because it's being
referred to by a src tag in a static component (in my case an embed
tag, the image is the movie poster that click to open the quicktime
player). What I wound up doing was using the url string to refer to
a directAction as the src attribute of the embed tag. This
directAction then serves up the image by converting it from the blob
in the DB.
Thx again,
Zac

Hello Zac;
Hey all, I'm wondering if there is a built in function that will
give you the absolute URL of the web application. I've seen the
applicationBaseURL () function but that isn't giving me enough
information. I need the whole URL directly to the web app.
From something like a component you should be able to do this...
String url = context().urlWithRequestHandlerKey(
WOApplication.application().directActionRequestHandlerKey(),
"default",
null);
To make it a little clearer I'm vending an image from a DB with
WebObjects, and I want to be able to refer to that image in the
app itself. This way I can use a static image tag and point it's
src attribute at the URL refering to a directAction that pulls the
image from the DB and sends
There is a lot of discussion here from time to time about images in
databases so I won't comment on that, but if you properly model
your BLOB from the database then you can simply bind this from an
EO to the "data" binding on WOImage and set the "mimeType" binding
to something like "image/jpeg", it will render the image on the
page. Sometimes this is not the right approach to use for various
reasons, but it often is.
cheer.
