Re: load image file from directory outside WAR folder and display in gwt app.

The solution for that would be no different fro GWT than for any other client-side approach: write a servlet that can locate the file and stream the image contents to the response output stream. The file path/name info can either be a parameter, or, with some clever servlet mapping, part of the url used to invoke the servlet.

A search like "servlet stream image" yields a lot of possible approaches.

Hi all,

I have the following situation:

I have a directory, /home/images, on my Ubuntu server containing images. The images are uploaded from an Android application by a servlet.

I am running Tomcat7 on this server and the image directory is owned by the Tomcat7 user so it should be accessable from tomcat.

Now I want to view the images in my GWT application running on the same tomcat server. I have not been able to find a working example for this.

I hope someone point mee to the right solution here. I would like to see example including both server- and clien side code.

Thanks in advance

Jostein
