Hi, after a long absence, I'm back again in the struts world ;-)

I have the following problem, I'd like to add an image on my page, where the name of this image is stored in the database ( not the image itself, just the pathlocation and the name);
So I've a form bean with a 'getImagePath()' method that returns a String.

But the name & property attributes in the img tag are already reserved for multiple parameters, 
so, the question is, how can I get my Image coming from my get method, without using scriptlets and all that stuff ?

Thanks for your help,
Thierry

I've subclassed the ImgTag from Struts and created my own custom tag for
doing this kind of thing.   I gave some code examples of it in a past
message to this list that you could find in the archives.

Hello Thierry,

Welcome back!

If your need is to display a different image depending on the user's
Locale, this can be satisfied with the "pageKey" or "srcKey" attribute:

  <html:img pageKey="image.key" .../>

which looks up "image.key" in the application resources for the user's
current Locale.  If you need something more generalized (such as images
that are personalized per user, independent of Locale), a runtime
exression might be your best bet:

  <img src="<%= bean.getImagePath() %>">
