struts, creating images on fly.

null_pointer Aug 19, 2002 11:35 AM

Hi,
I have a struts application which is working fine.
also i have a few image which are outside the server directory.
at present i am just reading the contents from the image file and writting it back to the client.
but i need to display both image and text.
what the best way to do this using struts.

i tried this
where /search/display is mapped to the the structs action class in my struts-config.xml file
but this is not working properly.
but if i try "http://myapp/search/displayimages?id=1234" in the browser window it works fine and i get the image.

thanks

Use the html:img tag, I guess your image would be rendered by something like:

<bean:define id="imageparam" value="1234" />
<html:img page="/search/displayimage"
paramId="id" paramName="imageparam" />

The imageparam bean is needed to get the parameter to the image url. If you can make that in some other way that is probably better :-)

Not sure about what you mean when you say that you must display text.
