Grails: displaying created image in gsp

Question

I\'m very new to Grails so there\'s probably a very simple answer to this question. I\'m trying to display a dynamically created image in a gsp. The image is NOT stored in

Answer 1

my suggestion actually has two parts.

1) Use the solution recommend by Rob above to generate the chart artifact, however save it to a static file with a unique identifier that is passed back as part of the response from the form submit, then rendering the chart is no different then rendering any other image.

i would suggest that the identifer be constructed from the specifif params passed in on the form submit so they can be used as a caching mechanism to render the chart again without rebuilding it

2) create a service, maybe a Quartz Service, that periodically cleans up the static charts that were created for the application
