That's not correct. The codebase has to point to an HTTP address, not
to a file system directory. This is becasue the web page holding the
java applet is fetching the applet.

Again, I think you are confusing HTTP addresses with file system
addresses. In your .map file you should have something like:
IMAGEPATH c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MapServer/Docs/tmp/
# this is the file system directory where mapserver puts the images,
# it should also be an IIS virtual directory
IMAGEURL /tmp/
# this is the HTTP address that the client browser reads from.
I may not have those exactly right because I am guessing at your
directory structure. But when set correctly
<param name="image" value="http://[host][img]">
should look something like this after being parced by mapserv.exe:
<param name="image" value="http://localhost/tmp/ITASCA11011353302004.png">
You should be able to put the replaced values from [host][img] into
your browser's address bar an see the image. If you can't do that,
then you have an error in your .map file and/or your virtual directory
assignments in IIS. If you can't fetch the image in this way, then
there is no way that jBox will be able to get it either.
