Getting another dispatcher for my image requests

[Munncha]

Currently i'm using spring and velocity to develop a web app. I'm having some problems getting images to display correctly though. All the files referenced will follow this post.

Anyhow, this seems painfully easy so i know it's a simple matter, but i've been googling and searching for hours with little benefit.

I jsut need images to display in a simple webapp, almost exactly like the one in the velocity/spring walkthrough. The problem currently is:

2006-04-27 23:41:06,413 WARN [org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound] - <N
o mapping for [/dig/cigtemp.png] in DispatcherServlet with name 'dig'>

This makes sense. The dispatcher servlet is getting a request for a page it has no mapping for. However, i just need the damned thing to go get it if it doesn't have a mapping. But, there's no controller that just moves stuff along, as a far as I know.

Most of the walkthroughs have talked about setting up an imageServlet thingie that just goes and gets images. However, i have no idea how to do this, and couldn't find much to help. I can initialize a new dispatcher servlet that handles all the requests with certain file names, but i still don't know how to tell it to just go get the thing.

My intuition says to kill the mapping of * to the dispatcher, but then it crashes since it cannot recognize /*.htm which it what i need...

What am i missing?

Anyhow, any help would be nice.
