Tomcat IMAGEPATH IMAGEURL

[LITTLE Nelson]

Dave,

Thanks for your reply.

Firstly I updated my map file such that it now reads:

IMAGEPATH "/mapserver_temp/"
IMAGEURL "temp"

I am able to write the image (image_file.png) via the mapserver object
to the IMAGEPATH location with no troubles. However, how do I display
that resultant image file in a web page? I thought the image would be
available via http://loalhost:8080/myapp/temp/image_file.png 

Can anyone offer some help?

Cheers,
Nelson

When I ran mapserver and tomcat together on a mac platform,  I said 
things like


  TEMPLATE ../WEB-INF/post_transform_directory/en-gb/mob_resources.xml
  IMAGEPATH "../tmp/"
  IMAGEURL "tmp/"
  LOG "/tmp/map.out"

I can't comment on the window platform to much, but I suspect that
saying

IMAGEPATH "c:\\mapserver_temp\\"
IMAGEURL "temp"
may help, or perhaps justing using \ instead.

TO a java program a file seperator is / or \, but mapserver is a C
program, so it may choose only to understand the \ character.
