Load dynamically an image

Question

Hi,
          I have been trying to load dynamically an image using WLS 6.0, but I
          failed. To simplify the case, following is just a simply scenario.
          All images are stored under the directory doc_root/images. When the WLS
          server is on, I enter the URL: http://localhost:8080/images/image.gif.
          If this image file exists, it is printed in the browser, it is correct.
          But when I copy a new image file (I mean at the moment when the server
          is launched, the file is not under the directory /images) say test.gif
          from other place, and then I input the
          URL:http://localhost:8080/images/test.gif. No image is printed, but for
          the moment this file is saved under the /images directory. Only when I
          shut down the server and relaunch it and type the previous URL, this
          image can be printed. I did the same test using Tomcat3.2, it worked. So
          I guess it is a bug of WLS6.0
          Our project needs to load images dynamically, we cannot shut down the
          server whenever a new image is uploaded, but we need new images can be
          printed in real time.
          Did anybody meet the same problem and is there any work around? Thanks
          in advance

Sonia,
          On our development evironment (where we use open directory
          deployment) it works for me.
          We are using wls6.0sp1.
          Thanks,
