重新部署之前，Web应用程序中的图像不会显示吗？

Question

I'm working on a project for my web development class, it's a basic image upload / search system. Users can upload the images successfully, the only problem is they won't show up in a search until I redeploy the web app! The link is there with the correct image paths, everything is correct in the database, but it will 404 if I click on it unless I redeploy the web application.

I'm not sure what kind of code I could show you guys for this, and it's hard to find a google result for the issue.

the server I'm using is weblogic built into jdeveloper (most recent version, 11g I think?)

My guess is it doesn't scan the directories that have the images until it starts the app, therefore anything added after the initial deploy won't show up. Is there any way to force it to scan the directory after a successful upload?

Do you have to use that web server? Try tomcat and see if you get the same issue. I take it btw that by redeploy your mean you have to stop and restart the server? Does that process copy your webapp to another part of your disk so the web server is looking in a "mirror" dir instead of at the original webapp dir? That could be the issue
