Re: how to transmit an image over rpc?

Hi,

what I am trying to do is a photo album.

There is a directory structure on the server with an index.xml file in
each directory. On startup the index files are scanned and the
"content directory" is passed over rpc to the client. The client
displays nice menus and if the user selects an entry the images should
be shown.

If I pass URLs via rpc then the image directory must be world
readable.

Your advice with the servlet: Do you mean that the servlet should
return the image data itself and the setURL method of the Image class
knows that this is not a URL but the raw image data? Have I got you
right?

How would you realize what I want?

Thanks
Magnus
