Subject: Image File redirection with Tomcat5.5
Now, I'd like to include graphics (jpegs, for example), and when I
build <img> elements that have links to the real location of the
graphic (with file:///c:/wherever/my.jpg) they work in IE and fail in
Firefox.
This is a bug (feature?) in Firefox - if you use four leading slashes,
the file: reference should work.
However, this begs the question: why are you generating local file
system references for such images? Then can only work when the browser
is running on the same system as the server. You webapp should be
generating links that Tomcat can process; if you want to keep these
separate from the app, treat the images as a separate, static-content
only webapp deployed under Tomcat. Put an <imageAppName>.xml file in
conf/Catalina/[host] containing a <Context> element with a docBase
attribute pointing to the absolute path of the image directory.

Thanks for the comment. For the time being this application is for a
single, local user. I'll investigate the <imageAppName>.xml approach.
That is probably the missing link I was unable to find.
