Hi Fabio,

I had the same problem and resolved it by placing images in the server's directory structure as opposed to the portlet's. I'm using apache-tomcat and have it downloaded under:

In it there is a folder called "webapps" and I created a subfolder for my images there

From the portlet JSP (i.e. view.jsp) I refrence the image as such:

Hope this helps.

Hello all,

I have a very similar problem, I'm trying to display an image in a .war standalone portlet. Inside my portlet project the image path is WebContent/html/image/name.png. I tried to do it as Liferay does in other places but is not working. Nothing is shown. The only way that it works is to put the full path: <img src="http://localhost:8080/Indicator/html/image/indicator_good.png" />, but this way it will depend on the server I place the portlet. Indicator is my portlet name.

I tried these three options:

And no one of them is working. In the last one, request.getContextPath() returns an empty String. Do I need to define something first in other place to make request.getContextPath() works? Anyway I also need to look for the image from a template so, there I won't be able to use request.getContextPath().

Is there anything different when you are working in an external project for a standalone .war portlet?

Thanks in advance!

It works!!!

Thanks a lot!!

I get the right context path - but still image is not visible.

Do we need to set something i web.xml or portlet.xml to make it work.

I guess its related to this my top URL, which is: http://localhost:8080/user/joebloggs/3

and context path is : my-context
so this becomes:
http://localhost:8080/my-context/images/date_icon.gif

thats why it may not be accessing the image

I have the same problem.

Tried to use


or





Both versions generate the same code ""


When using this the error

disappears, but the images arent displayed.

Any idea?





PS.: Used the lib
