taglib for locale-dependent logic to images?

Suppose i have an images folder in my webapp with subfolders 
corresponding to locales:

+ WEB-INF
+ jsps
+ images
   + default
      + myImage.png
   + fr
      + myImage.png
   + el
      + myImage.png

i'd like to do something like

<foo:img imageFolder="images" image="myImage.png" />

to render the image whose parent folder matches the user's locale if 
that folder does have a file named "myImage.png" or to try and get the 
image from the default locale/folder otherwise.

Is there any taglib like that available anywhere?

Thanks in advance,

Manos

I decided to do my own thinking and i believe the best way to go would 
be to make a simple action to solve this (and use normal img tags as 
well). The action will

* intercept all URLs starting with /images
* check the availability of the file stream prefixing the requested URL 
with the locale and
* serve that or
* FW to the originally requested image URL if no locale dependent img is 
found.

I don't even think a taglib makes sense anymore ;-)

Cheers,

Manos

You can do this with the current <html:img> tag - use either the
"pageKey" or "srcKey" attributes:
