Purpose

An Image Content data instance provides an alternative to a binary file rule containing an image. GRP-482 BERRB 5.5

Benefits

Image Content instances provide an alternative to binary file rules, to store images that:

• are widely used across multiple applications
• look the same for all users, and
• are rarely updated.

For example, you can use an Image Content data instance to identify each division in an organization.

Where referenced

Data content image instances are referenced by the contentURL JSP tag, added to an HTML rule or other stream rule:

<pega:contentURL name="ourlogo.gif path="/logos/" classType="Image" />

Each execution of the stream rule generates a once-only hashed URL, if the user meets the security restrictions (if any) recorded on the Main tab. When the user's browser sends this URL to Process Commander, the system extracts the image and returns the image to the browser for display.
