Tapestry 4 Dynamic image asset

Question

Hi All,

I have images stored in a database I need to serve within a tapestry page.

I was about to write a servlet (simple enough) to serve the image like I always have but I figured using an asset or a service was more tapestry oriented.

What would be the simplest/tidiest way to include a dynamic image within a tapestry page?

Bare in mind I am pulling a byte array out of the database based on a unique identifier set by the page and that I need to set the content type on the response header.

Advice appreciated, p.

To serve dynamic content, you can implement an IEngineService, configure it as a service, and then point your download links towards that service.

This page on the Tapestry wiki should help you get started.
