True,
Images are sent as stream. I use JpegEncoder. But how does the browser recognize the mime type. Naturally I specify the content-type. But that is the header part of what I send. Once an Image/jpeg content is written to output how can an html content be sent.
The earlier problem has a solution something like this, may be
in a
jsp page or
servlet out.println("<Img src=\"http://myserver/servlet/ ImageProcessServlet\">");
in this case the contentype set is text/html
At the same time in the ImageProcessServlet the contentype returned is Image/jpeg. Hence it works.
What I wanted to know was if it was possible to write to the html documents folder or where http protocol could access I could directly place the tag href="filename". May be it has been eliminated because of security reasons.
But I felt the problem more pushing when I could not save the file uploaded as multipart to the http folder. Take this case.
A client uploads an image at a portal. If the image is in the default folder then I must write another servlet like the one above to read and send it to the servlet requested. This image should be shown to the Client whenever he logs in or anyone checks his profile.
