Getting producer resource URLs in a WSRP consumer

Question

I have 2 WebLogic 8.1 portal domains, a producer (ProducerDomain) and a consumer (ConsumerDomain). The producer domain has a portlet that displays an image that is local to the producer (i.e. http://localhost:7001/ProducerDomain/images/image.jpg). The consumer portal then creates a remote portlet of this producer portlet, and the end result should be that the consumer application should see the image that is local to the producer in its remote portlet.
The problem is, I can't figure out how to create the URL to the image on the producer side in such a way that the consumer can see the image. I have tried the following in my producer portlet:
<render:resourceUrl var="theURL" path="/images/Sunset.jpg" />
img1 = <img src="<%=theURL%>">
img2 = <img src="<%=request.getScheme()%>://<%=request.getServerName()%>:<%=request.getServerPort()%><%=request.getContextPath()%>/images/Sunset.jpg">
The img2 URL works fine, because it simply gets the producer URL and hard codes that into the img tag. However, this doesn't seem like the right way to be URL writing in WSRP. The resulting values in the consumer remote portlet are the following:
img1 = <img src="http://localhost:7011/ConsumerApp/resource;jsessionid=GRVL8lVvxvlY8Wj1JGzXSkJ6hJGRM0WhjnkKh5HZLT0wJbygZGYQ!1580368832?_windowLabel=portlet_1_1_1&wsrp-urlType=resource&wsrp-url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A7001%2Fimages%2Fimage.jpg&wsrp-requiresRewrite=false">
img2 = <img src="http://localhost:7001/ProducerApp/images/image.jpg">
img2 works fine, but img1 does not. I think I'm missing something in the way I should be creating this URL. If anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get this working correctly? I've already read through the following document:

But I can't seem to see any concrete examples on how to get this case to work.
