[Seaside] unable to display image from local directory

[jtuchel at objektfabrik.de]

Sanjay,

Pharo doesn't serve files from the local file system by default. There 
are specialised subclasses of WAFileLibrary (or at least you could build 
one) to do that. What you do is send an img tag down to the browser that 
contains a src="myimage.gif" attribute. The browser then has to fetch 
this image from the web server, in your case the Pharo image and Seaside...

There are several options:

1) as I mentioned before, add a FileLibrary to your application that can 
serve local files (you'd have to send urlOf: to the FileLibrary class to 
send the correct src attribute)
2) use an url of a web server that server files, like html image url: 
'Mydropbox.com/myimage.gif'
3) Import your image into a WAFileLibrary subclass so that it has a 
method that holds a ByteArray of the contents of this image. Then you 
can server the image from within Pharo

HTH,

Joachim
