Question

If I want to display an image in my webpage and its src is a file outside context root.
At the IDE, the image is shown to be loaded.

But when I test the web page, nothing displayed.
How can I config weblogic server to allow the image to be displayed. If not is there anyway to run around this problem.

Thanks a lot.

You can use the Virtual Directory Mapping feature (that you declare in the weblogic.xml):

Using the virtual directory mapping
feature, you can create one directory
to serve static files such as images
for multiple Web Applications. For
example, you would create a mapping
similar to the folowing:

<virtual-directory-mapping>
  <local-path>c:/usr/gifs</local-path>
  <url-pattern>/images/*</url-pattern>
</virtual-directory-mapping>

A request to
http://localhost:7001/mywebapp/images/test.gif
will cause your WebLogic Server
implementation to look for the
requested image at:
c:/usr/gifs/images/*.

This directory must be located in the
relative uri, such as
“/images/test.gif”.
