Re: EGL and IFS

If it's just product images (which is what this sounded like to me), so what? If this is something specific to a particular customer, then yes, it could allow someone to download stuff you don't want them to. In that case, a servlet could be written that validates someone has access to a particular file and then writes the file out.

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.

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
