Yes that might be a better approach, ie. Define the image in the Context
doc.

Hmm, I cannot reproduce this. Specifying an image URL insetad of a WMS URL in the locator map ViewContext works, e.g.:
<OnlineResource xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="http://communitymapbuilder.org/download/userResources/MAP/logo" />
shows the MapBuilder green frog.
Note that the original reporter may just have had the (relative) path to the image wrong, maybe a "../" too few or too many.

Tested with the frog logo on the locatorMap of the "complete" example; image is rendered correctly by OpenLayers.
