Image URLs
Image controls that render icons or other images enable configuring the image or icon. Specify the image using an absolute URL or as a relative URL. The relative URL is relative to the root of the web application. The image control assumes any value starting with '/' is an image relative to the portlet application context. The following examples are absolute and relative URLs.
Absolute URLhttp://www.google.com/images/logo_sm.gif Relative URL/myimages/myicon.gif If you need to produce the image URL independently because some client-side code might dynamically modify the image source, you can produce the URL to an image or any other WAR resource with the following java code:
String url = "/myimages/myicon.gif";
FacesContext context = getFacesContext();
url = context.getApplication().getViewHandler().getResourceURL(context, url);
url = context.getExternalContext().encodeResourceURL(url);
You can automatically replace images with well-known URLs with skinned images.
To make the image URL relative to the My webMethods Server rather than relative to the portlet application context, put fe: at the front of your action link as shown in the following example:
fe:/meta/default/testmws___por1/activePageBean.exportImageButtonaction
