Ranchers,
I cannot find much regarding specification for serving static resoruces (images, etc) from
Servlet Containers.
2.4 Servlet spec implies that this is done via "Image conversion filters" (page 50)...
it also mentions this:
<filter>
<filter-name>Image Filter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.acme.ImageServlet</filter-class>
</filter>
Does this mean all static content is served using a filter? I got a blank installation of
Tomcat and could not find anything image-related other than:
<mime-mapping>
<extension>gif</extension>
<mime-type>image/gif</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
what am I missing? I decided to post this into Servlet forum because it seems to be a matter of standards rather than Tomcat... Thanks!
