image path issue

Jency Thomas

Hi,

 

My form has an image button in it whose code is as follows:

<xforms:trigger appearance="minimal" >

               <xforms:label><xhtml:img src="controlpanel.bmp" /></xforms:label>

               

               <xforms:label>...</xforms:label>

              

               <xforms:action ev:event="DOMActivate"></xforms:action>

              

</xforms:trigger>

 

The image is located in the filesystem in the path say, C:/images. Is it possible to give the image path like <xhtml:img src="file://C:/images/controlpanel.bmp" />

Or is it mandatory that the image should reside inside the server?

 

Thanks

Jency

Jency,

This is the case in general with web applications, not only Orbeon  
Forms: image URLs have to point to paths that the web browser can then  
deference, and which must then reach a server able to load the  
resource. In the end, the resulting URL must be an HTTP URL, not a  
file URL.

If you want to store your images in C:/images on your server, you will  
have to configure your web server to serve images in that directory as  
certain external URLs, and figure out some URL mappings.
