Hassan,

Tomcat works differently to glassfish tough

here is what im doing-

In tomcat jsp are placed in the -

Installed - dir \tomcat\WORK\tomcat\ROOT

and servlets are placed -

E:\tomcat\WORK\tomcat\ROOT\web-inf\classes

that's how I do mine in tocat. Of cause, the tomcat
is a web server not a whole application server. I am
using glassfish.

Some body suggested placing in tomcat\Work\tomcat\ROOT\images
images being the folder containing the images
and ROOT would contain jsps.

so construct as-

> <display:column>
> <img src="../images/${bpic}"/>
> </display:column>

in the database the string menjeans.png is contained in the table attribute.

But in glassfish, as you may already know it works like this:

I have created a project folder / dir using netbeans as e.g
Enterappli

Now my jsp files are in:-

dir\Enterappli\Enterappli-war\web\viewapp.jsp

my servlets are in-

dir\Enterappli\Enterappli-war\src\java\myservletfiles\myservletcontrol.java

Now I have my images folder in-

Enterappli\Enterappli-war\images

im the attribute on my table in the DB, I've

menjeans.png

which is a string.

my servlet invoke the bean and forward data to my jsp as
in the case of MVC design.

Ok now my jsp already display the data except the pic.

So how do I construct it:

<display:column><img border="1" src="../images/${bpic}" height="200" width="200" title="Picture"/></display:column>

bpic is an attribute of my table in the database.

Pls, any suggestion.

Thanking you in advance.
