Problem with error page example

I was trying the example from HFSJ in page 468

errorPage.jsp is in webapps/ch9 folder

images folder is in ch9 folder

But when I access errorPage.jsp using url http://localhost/ch9/errorPage.jsp image doesn't get displayed.img tag has src value as src="images/IMG_5636group.jpeg".Am I giving the path in src attribute wrongly ?

Thanks
Veena

As per the pasted code nothing is there in img tag, and make sure you are giving the file name correct. i.e jpeg/jpg.

This is img tag part

< img src="/images/IMG_5636group.jpeg">

I am spelling file name and extension correctly.I tried putting it under different directories ,it is not working.Pleas can anyone help with this?

put the image directory directly under your web-app root directory and use remove "/" in your img src="images/.... "

< img src="/images/IMG_5636group.jpeg">

you are giving two different src attributes. Please tell us which one you are using. If you start the src with /images, then it should have the application's context path as a prefix (using ${pageContext.request.requestURI} and if you are uisng the relative path images, then the request URL must not contain any sub-directory of your app (which according to the URL http://localhost/ch9/errorPage.jsp is not so it should work...

My image is under " webapps\ch9\images " and my jsp is under "webapps\ch9"

I tried both img src options

img src="images/IMG_5636group.jpeg"

and

img src="/images/IMG_5636group.jpeg"

It is not working for either of the option.

Maybe it should be "jpg" instead of "jpeg" and "\" instead of "/" if you use Unix.

It didn't work . Sorry . No luck . I hope if some one can try this example of including img in jsp. I am using Windows XP OS

Hi, Veena.

What is the file extension of image, 'IMG_5636group' in 'images' folder? I guess, it is not '.jpeg'.

I verified it again.Extension is JPEG .

Hi, Veena.

I tested in Tomcat5.5.9, Mozilla Firefox3.5, with windows OS. It is working fine. Is there any <mime-mapping> headers present in your 'web.xml' related to 'jpeg' images? Can you please post, what message you are getting while accessing the image?

Hello Chinmay,

Thank you for replying . The problem is it simply doesn't display the image.

Thanks
Veena

I verified it again.Extension is JPEG .

With Windows Explorer, when you double click the file, do you see the image ?

Can you access the image directly by typing a URL in the browser i.e. http://localhost/ch9/images/IMG_5636group.jpeg ??

Can you access the image directly by typing a URL in the browser i.e. http://localhost/ch9/images/IMG_5636group.jpeg ??

Ankit,when I try to access using above url,it doesn't display the image.It throws 404 error saying requested resource not available.

Christopher,I am able to access the file by double clicking on the image file in explorer.

Thanks

I'd like to see exactly how your directory structure looks like. Use the Command Prompt. Go to your webapps/ch9 directory. Type "dir" and post the result here. Then go under the "images" directory, and type "dir" again. Post the results.

Exact Directory structure

Veena, you didn't do this part of what Christophe wrote. Go into the images directory and then do a dir there and post the result here...

Oh.I am sorry.Here is everything under images folder
