Ken, That is what I'd like to do. Have an image which is rendered in the case when the defined image cannot be loaded. the problem I have is that our database record says that an image should exist, but the manufacturer/supplier didn't provide it to us... thus I need a way to check if that image does exist to test that condition.
thanks, chris ps - these images are maintained by a second webapp that is on a different web server all together due to space requirements. so i have to do testing via a HTTP request or something i would think, no? -----Original Message----- From: Linck, Ken To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 6/15/2004 2:32 PM Subject: RE: Rendering Images Just curious but why not just manually make this file once and return it when a real image is not found on disk? Why bother creating one on the fly every time? Is it different from request to request? We had done something similar. We created a static image file on disk and return that when a real one is not available. I think we used a struts condition if tag testing if a real one exists otherwise use the URL to not found image. -----Original Message----- From: CRANFORD, CHRIS [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2004 1:21 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Rendering Images I'm curious if anyone has used or knows of an open-source image rendering servlet that permits rendering a "no image found" image file if the referenced image to be rendered does not exist on disk.
