Custom service to wrap an external image as an asset

[Raymond <pp...@hotmail.com>]

Hi there,

I wish to display on my web pages external images which are "tunnelled
through" my server (and programs) first.
I tried to use the asset service but later found out that it only serve
asset from the context classpath and only take a path service parameter.
What I need is something like this to put into my pages' img tag:

<img
src="/myApp/app?service=remote_asset&sp=http://remote.host.com/path/picture.
gif" />

Is there existing construct which serves this purpose?
If no how to go about to implement such a custom service?
I search through the tapestry docs but found no detailed guide on writing
custom service.

Thanks for help.
Raymond

Did you look at ExternalAsset?

The "Tapestry in action" book contains an example custom service with
explanation.
