How do I display images in the ItemsGrid component?

The ItemsGrid component enables you to display built-in icons that help users identify the types of items they are looking at. To display the icons, this feature must be turned on with the showImages attribute of the ItemsGrid component. By default, the showImages attribute is set to None. To display an icon representation of the items in the grid, set this property to Icon. To display a thumbnail representation of the items in the grid, set the showImages attribute to Thumbnail.

The ItemsGrid component uses an image handler servlet to retrieve images from the SDK when the showImages property is set to Icon or Thumbnail. Add the following lines of code to your web.xml file to configure the image handler servlet.

<servlet>

    <servlet-name>imageHandlerServlet</servlet-name>

        <description>image handler</description>

    <servlet-class>com.businessobjects.jsf.sdk.utils.ImageHandlerServlet</servlet-class>

    <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>

</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>

    <servlet-name>imageHandlerServlet</servlet-name>

    <url-pattern>/imageHandler</url-pattern>

</servlet-mapping>
