h:graphicImage instead of s:graphicImage

[nimo22]

I use

<s:graphicImage value="../img/myImage.gif" />

and get the failure:

Image pointed to must exist (input stream must not be null)

I am sure, that this path is valid. I tried it with this:

<h:graphicImage value="../img/myImage.gif" />

and h:graphicImage works, but s:graphicImage does not work.

Why ??

h:graphicImage points to a path relative to the web server.

s:graphicImage looks for a file on the disk, so that it can be read and transformed. Do something like (this is just written, not checked at all):

<s:graphicImage value="#{myBean.image}"/>

and

@Name("myBean")
public class MyBean {

  public InputStream getImage() {
     getClass().getResourceAsStream("/img/bla.jpg");
  }
 
}

Depending on what AS you use you might get away with

<s:graphicImage value="/path/to/file.jpg"/>

s:graphicImage will then use the given path to get the stream with something like ResourceLoader.instance().getResourceAsStream(/path/to/file.jpg);
