Servlet Container External Graphics

["CRANFORD, CHRIS" <Ch...@setech.com>]

I am trying to use the external-graphics tag in Apache FOP inside of
a servlet container server (Tomcat).  I want to be able to load the
graphic based on relative paths to the context:

<fo:external-graphic src="images/mylogo.gif"/>

In the Web Application server the logo is found in:

 /tomcat/webapps/myapp/images/mylogo.gif

But I cannot get the image to display.

Relative URLs are by default resolved against the URL of the
document where they occur.

You can try to set the base URL to "/tomcat/webapps/myapp/",
see
  http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/embedding.html#user-agent
Instead of hard coding the path, you can use servlet functionality,
like
 
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.0-doc/servletapi/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getRealPath(java.lang.String)
