Re: Using Image Taglib when J2EE application is inside (an unpacked) war file.

[Michael McGrady <mi...@michaelmcgrady.com>]

Since there is no browser reference to the gen-images file, there is no URL 
to this problem at all and it is simply a question of reading and writing 
to jar/war files on the server-side of the equation with a 
URI.  Right?  Why is this a difficulty?  I have a real interest in Image 
taglib and also think that a resolution of this problem should be carefully 
considered before taking steps.
