upload and download of images with Tomcat

[Wojtek Stańczuk <W....@tele.pw.edu.pl>]

 Hello, 

 I try to upload images for futher download (as in a image
gallery) to a folder under web application dir. Everything goes 
fine except one thing: the uploaded images are not seen 
in the application till next deployment
of the application (Tomcat does not see the images). 

 Is it possible to make Tomcat see dynamically added
static content? I know that one of the solution is using 
web server for serving static resources, but I would
like to find a solution in Tomcat.

  Best regards, 

  Wojtek Stanczuk

I think it may be your choice of location that is causing you problems. Also 
would you not loose that content if you undeployed your app (depending on 
how it is deployed)?

I do uploads and display the images without issue in my app. But my 
directory is outside the web app structure. WARNING this makes the app non 
portable as it uses a hard coded path to the files.

If my memory serves me well, Tomcat deploys the app and then runs from a 
work directory. If the image files are in the app directory then the running 
app would not see them because it is running from the work directory and any 
path is referenced from it.

I think.

Someone tell me if I am wrong and I will crawl back under my rock.
