displaying Blob (image) in jsp page using struts 2 and hibernate

Question

i managed to store an image in my mysql database as Blob. (i am also using hibernate) now i am trying to load that image and send it on a jsp page so the user can view the image

Answer 1

Finally I solved it, for future googlers :

Add this line to jsp,

 <img src="<s:url value="YourImageShowAction" />" border="0"
 width="100" height="100">

and this is ShowImageAction class : note that the execute method is void, so no redirection

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.sql.SQLException;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.apache.struts2.ServletActionContext;
import com.raysep.maxlist.domain.post.image.Image;

public class ShowImageAction {

  private static byte[] itemImage;

  public static void execute() {

      try {

          Image slika = Image.fetchOne();

          HttpServletResponse response = ServletActionContext.getResponse();
          response.reset();
          response.setContentType("multipart/form-data"); 

          itemImage = slika.getImage().getBytes(1,(int) slika.getImage().length());

          OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
          out.write(itemImage);
          out.flush();
          out.close();

      } catch (SQLException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
      } catch (IOException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
      }


  }

  public byte[] getItemImage() {
      return itemImage;
  }

  public void setItemImage(byte[] itemImage) {
      this.itemImage = itemImage;
  }


}
