Hi,

We have a requirement to load (show on screen) several images stored
in oracle table as BLOB. I am using code as follows to load the
images:

In JSP:

<img src='<%=request.getContextPath()%>/getImage.do?giftCode=10

In Action class:

I read image from database a binary stream and flush the image as
outputstream.

String giftCode =
request.getParameter("giftCode");

InputStream sImage;
sImage = rs.getBinaryStream(1);
String imageType = rs.getString(2);
response.reset();
response.setContentType(imageType);
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition","filename=getimage");
while((size=sImage.read(bytearray))!= -1 )
   {
           response.getOutputStream().write(bytearray,0,size);
   }

           response.flushBuffer();
sImage.close();

The problem is that, some of the images are not loading and show up as
'X' on UI. This behavior is intermittent.

Can anyone suggest a better way of showing images from database to UI?
Or any improvements in above code?

Thanks,
Palak
