Picture in vdx file (xml visio)

Question

hi,
i am generating vdx file at run time, some of vdx file data come from database, all thing is well except if i have a picture and want to display it, so the problem as the following:
if you have a picture stored in a table in the database (in blob field), how you can represent this picture data in the vdx file to display it on visio page? (remember you didn�t get this picture from existing vdx or visio file, it came from another module in the system)
sample:
<ForeignData ForeignType='Bitmap' CompressionType='JPEG' CompressionLevel='0.05'>

i don�t know how visio represent the picture data in vdx file, its not binary, and its unpractical to deal with this method, so i think there is two gates for that:
1-find a way to make the picture as a linked object and display the picture depend on picture file separated from vdx file (as link object) , and i don�t think this acceptable in xml vdx files.
2-find the format the represent the picture inside vdx file.
there is also unpractical solution by upload each picture that i want to use it in vdx file by insert it at the first in a temporary visio file then read the data of the picture to reuse it in the future for other vdx files.
if you have a solution or have a more specific forums for microsoft visio , plz write it
best regards

Try changing this:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Mpa</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
into
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Mpa</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
