        Ok, I follow you so far, so why does this prevent us from
serving up dynamically generated images from tempdir? I'm guessing
you're only objecting to the idea of serving up static images using the
servlet as opposed to using the webserver? I'd just like the ability to
dump my static images into the WebApp directory. It would be an option,
nothing else. There is nothing preventing us from dumping the static
images into another directory that the webserver can get at directly,
right?
