ATG 10.1.2 display URL like image in BCC new tab

Question

Hi all,
I am doing a new item-descriptor that store images and I like to display it in BCC new tab (but not flex content, just JSP). I don't descend media item descriptor.
I used the URL property, like this:
          <property name="url" data-type="string" property-type="atg.distributor.DistributorPropertyDescriptor" display-name-resource="upload.url"
                      category-resource="categoryUpload" >
            <attribute name="uiwritable" value="false"/>
               <attribute name="poolPath" value="/atg/commerce/catalog/ContentDistributorPool" />
               <attribute name="propertySortPriority" value="8"/>
          </property>It display my image URL, but like a string. I would like to display it like image.
I read Oracle documentation and saw that viewImage.jsp exists to show it.
But I don't know how to use it, how to do this binding betweew the URL image and the JSP to display like a image.
I thought that ATG would display like image automatically, like in media-internal items that use the same URL property that I am using.
Any help?
Thanks a lot

Hi Grando,
As Far as I know atg will display as image if your property is item-type="media" if not you just will se a plaing string due that is the type, perhaps you need to create an Property Descriptor custom to return a media Item by a given url.
You can go to http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26180_01/Platform.94/RepositoryGuide/html/s0715implementingauserdefinedproperty01.html in order to see how to create your own property Descriptor.
