David,
I assume from this post that you are storing your images somewhere
under your web server document root.
Something like:
/Library/Web Server/Documents/images
And you now want to dynamically build URLs that reference these
images using a WOImage element?
Really the easiest way to figure this out is to view the source of
the page in the browser window and see what gets generated as the SRC
for the IMG tag.
It should look something like:
<img src="/images/myImageFile.jpg">
This will give you a relative path from the web server's document root.
Here's the tricky part: This is really all that a WOImage element
does except the SRC attribute is generated by the applications
WOResourceManager dynamically at runtime.
Take a look inside the bundle that gets generated for your "Web
Server" target. The images are placed in a directory something like
MyWOApp.woa/Contents/Resources/WebServerResources/
When WO generates a path for a specific resource it will look
something like:
/WebObjects/MyWOApp.woa/Contents/Resources/WebServerResources/
myImageFile.jpg
And the IMG tag will look something like this in the HTML source:
<img src="/WebObjects/MyWOApp.woa/Contents/Resources/
WebServerResources/myImageFile.jpg">
One thing you might try is to use the "src" binding of WOImage
instead of the "fileName" binding and write your own Java method to
return the string representation of you image's URL.

I have looked in all the apple docs (bought WO5.2 so got the books)
and searched the web and got both Joshua Marker's book and Chuck
Hill's book but can't find the solution to my problem.
I have a database that contains information about images including
the filenames. I can't get the images to appear in the browser. I
can retrieve all the other info from the database, but I can't get
the images to appear at all.
I had this working with php/mysql by inserting the filename in the
src but I haven't been able to figure out the working url for the
images in my development environment.
Thanks for any help.
(Oh, I'm using Tiger and WO5.3)
