Re: EGL and IFS

That's a potential security risk if you ask me. For instance, if you have
any sort of naming convention to the files then a "hacker minded" person
could easily write a script to cycle through your image naming scheme and
retrieve all the images (read private info) to use for their own purposes.
I always stream stuff like that down to the client vs. giving them a static
URL link.


Unfortunately I only know how to do this in JSF and not EGL(yet).

Nick,

Don't overcomplicate this. Put the images in a directory that's accessible
by the HTTP server and then just write out an image tag with the correct
file name in it.

Subject: [WEB400] EGL and IFS

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how to access an IFS object (.jpg) and pull it into an EGL
application?

I am creating a method for our customers to enter a driver number on a web
page then be taken to another page showing the driver picture along with
other information about the driver.
The jpg name is DRIVER#.jpg. Can this only be done with java? I herd that
it can also be done with the SQL DATALINK data type in a DB2 file but I ran
into problems with using the DATALINK type with EGL.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks.

Nick
