[Seaside] (serve/) RENDER jpg image files from form objects

[Martin Schubert]

hey philippe,
thanks for reply. i allready had a look at the FileLibrary. i like  
it! but i want to save the jpg or png files or any kind of multimedia  
data directly in the data objects which get rendered.
so there is an instance of type 'Form' and which holds an jpg picture  
file. everything works perfect with gifs. but as soon as jpgs or png  
or other mime type come into the game its getting difficult.

i want the jpeg file (hold in a instance variable of type form) to be  
RENDERED. not only a link to the data.

>> html imageWithDocument: aForm bits asByteArray
>>                 mimeType: 'image/jpeg'
>>                 fileName: root name,'Picture', '.jpg'.

best

martin
