We have our own tag library and servlet library (one servlet).
What are the issues and how to people deal with images (not VW image, images from VW -- perhaps gif/jpeg/bmp files). These files tend to be on the VW machine -- we need to access them from the generated html. That would seem to want them on the web-server which is NOT the VW machine. ??? -- Dennis Smith [hidden email] Cherniak Software Development Corporation +1 905.771.7011 400-10 Commerce Valley Dr E Fax: +1 905.771.6288 Thornhill, ON Canada L3T 7N7 http://www.CherniakSoftware.com |

In the blog server, I just toss the images into a subdirectory off the
place where the SSP files live.

I think a common scenario would be to put them in separate "virtual directories", so
myserver.com/images/blah.jpg gets served by the main web server myserver.com/smalltalkstuff/blah.ssp gets served by smalltalk.

If they where the .ssp files are (which I presume is not on the web
server front end), how to you create a url to them, include the cgi-bin stuff etc etc??

We are using Gemstone, so we haveI think a common scenario would be to put them in separate "virtual directories", so myserver.com/images/blah.jpg gets served by the main web server myserver.com/smalltalkstuff/blah.ssp gets served by smalltalk. a) a VW server (likely windows) b) a Gemstone server (likely Linux) forgetting the web stuff, we need to store images associated with objects in the Gemstone database. These must become part of the backup. Until now (no web stuff) we stored them in Gemstone as instances of GIFimage. Since we now need a file we are thinking storing the file path in the Gemstone image and the image as its original file format in a directory hiearachy which we will include along with our gemstone backup. This could be on the VW server (used also as a fileserver -- e.g. for Word etc documents) or the Gemstone server -- we deal with both for backup purposes. In fact we would prefer to make it configurable as to which of the two servers they went on. (its faster if we know rather than using network mounts to get access).
