"Not allowed to load local resource: file:///C:....jpg" Java EE Tomcat
I'm trying to retrieve a picture from my file system after a good storage,(instead of putting it in the database I copy it to the disc and i put the path to the db)
- I had store the picture to c:\images\ folder and supposing that the name the complete path is c:\images\mypic.jpg
- when I try to retrieve it a set the img src attribute to
<img src="c:\images\mypic.jps">by using some java code - in the browser console I found this error
Not allowed to load local resource: file:///C://images//mypic.jpg
Question: how to fix these path problem ? where Should I store the pictures ? and from where should I retrieve them ?
Answer
sending tag <img src="c:\images\mypic.jpg"> would cause user browser to access image from his filesystem.
if you have to store images in folder located in c:\images i would suggest to create an servlet like images.jsp, that as a parameter takes name of a file, then sets servlet response content to an image/jpg and then loads bytes of image from server location and put it to a response.
But what you use to create your application? is it pure servlet? Spring? JSF?
Here you can find some info about, how to do it.
