s:graphicImage and animated gifs

[mangri3000]

Hi,

we import icon images into the database using s:fileUpload
and display the images using the s:graphicImage jsf control.

Everything seems to work fine.

But animated gifs are NOT displayed animated - it shows a static image.

The browser does animate the original file when it is embedded using "img" or "h:graphicImage" tags.

The file sizes of the original file and the database copy are exactly the same.

Do you have any clue how I can make the animation work?

Have you tried loading the image from the database and providing it using a servlet? Does this cause the image to be animated?

If so, please file a jira issue.

I have not done the servlet testing, yet.

In the browser's page information dialog I can see:

Image size when embedded by : 740 bytes
Dynamic image size when embedded by <s:graphicsImage>: 1134 bytes ?!


Original file size and database file size are both 740 bytes.
