Html to Pdf combinet with CKEditor and Rendering plugin

[dangar]

I have gsp where is output from CKeditor. This gsp is than processed by Renedring plugin. Everything works ok except pictures.
To be more specific, pictures are working when they are taken outside of grails application.
So if I define this (on port 8080 is tomcat container):

<img alt="does not working image" src="http://localhost:8080/App/uploads/Image/commercial-building-icon.png" 
style="width: 50px; height: 50px; "/>

image will be not shown in pdf output.
But if I define this - or any external link (on port 80 is Apache server)

<img alt="working image" src="http://localhost/somefolder/uploads/Image/commercial-building-icon.png" style="width: 50px; height: 50px; "/>

image will be shown in pdf output.

Only exception, when it is working directly from grails applicaion is when resource is defined by resource tag (in absolute form). But this is not solution in case of images uploaded and linked by CKEditor.

Uploaded file by CKEditor are only shown in html output but when pdf is rendered, there is nothing.

(I am not using relative paths.)

Anyone knows what is blocking rendering images in pdf?

I'm afraid I can't give you a specific answer, but this is often the cause when rendering works in HTML but not PDF:

"All links to resources (e.g. images, css) must be accessible by the application . This is due to the linked resources being accessed by application and not a browser. Depending on your network config in production, this may require some special consideration."

The problem may be due to some network config.

Thanks for the answer.

I did more research and I found that problem is in Spirnt Security Plugin. When I disabled it, all images are now perfectly shown in PDF.

Only what I don't understand now is why the same image (with absolute path) is perfectly accessible in browser and when I copy/paste lint to PDF source, it is blocked by Spring Security Plugin.
I thought that login is valid for a whole session, so when I am logged as user xy and I am able to see it in browser than any task executed inside application using my session will have the same rights for the given resource.

I believe that is in line with my previous guess. You are logged in via the browser and are allowed to fetch the images. The application itself is not a logged in user, when it tries to fetch the images via the Rendering plugin Spring Security says no.

You either have to make images available to all or possibly only make them available to logged in users _and_ not logged in users from the local machine.
