I would avoid messing about with the fileIO in WO. Either grab the
description HTML from a database (any database - it doesn't have to
be your legacy one. OpenBase or MySQL would do nicely thank you) or
use an IFRAME (which any browser developed in the last 8 years
supports). The images can be on the filesystem and just referenced
in the usual HTML way.

Depending on your layout, it could be as simple reading them into a
String somehow (file IO or from a db, with the db being prefered),
then just using a WOString in the appropriate spot on your page
with escapeHTML set to false.

I'm working on a web ordering system that uses a legacy database,
and I want to make adding a new product to the catalog as painless
as possible. Most of the product info will be entered using into
the database using a legacy system, but I need a way to add the
product description -- a few paragraphs of static HTML -- and
image to the WOComponent that displays products.
My strategy on the images is to keep them in a directory on the
web server and reference them from the component as <img
src="http://www.domain.com/resources/[itemNumber].jpg";>. To keep
things simple, I'd like to do the same thing with the product
descriptions. I don't want to use a WOFrame, and SSI doesn't work
without major hacks, so I'm at a bit of a loss. The only thing I
could think of is to create a subcomponent that generated its
response from an InputStream, but after looking at the java.io
API, I'm completely baffled about how to get an InputStream for a
text file. Is there something I'm missing, or is this really this
complicated? Any help would be appreciated.
