B4J Question B4J server, display dynamic images

[Mostez]

I want to display an image (generated QR code) dynamically on http page, I tried OK to display a test image with this code, but the problem is, I had to store the image in www folder and I don't know how to write files to this folder! or is it possible to do that with another method?

TIA

Sub Handle(req As ServletRequest, resp As ServletResponse)
    resp.ContentType = "text/html"
    resp.Write($"<img src="/test.jpg" alt="Test" title="Test "style="width: 128px; height: 118px;" />"$)

Maybe this can help you.
It was a specific solution for a case similar to what you need, altough built differently.

I started with this code to generate QR using QRGenerator Class, but I've got this error

I had to store the image in www folder and I don't know how to write files to this folder! or is it possible to do that with another method?

to access the www directory from the server code, use as directory name : srvr.StaticFilesFolder

I just made a quick attempt

B4JServer QRCode Generator

QRCode Generator using ZXing Library Can be use for B4JServer, Web API Server and Non-UI app (does not depend on XUI or jFX) Dim img As String = File.Combine(Main.AssetFolder, "img") Dim generate As ZXing generate.Initialize generate.QrCode(value, 400, File.Combine(img, "image.png"), "png")...
