The web page could be called with the following URL and did what I was asked to
do

img src=" http://machine:port/pls/myapp/display_image?p_id=12 "

width="115" border="0"

This works like a charm but has a caveat that I discovered when presenting it to
the network department. The network department didn’t like the idea of exposing
the database server to the Internet, which indeed is considerably unsafe.

A simple way to display database blob stored image in a jsp - Francois Degrelle's blog

Back to the whiteboard, I thought of using Web Service. This approach just didn’t
feel right and appeared to be too complex for this little solution to build.
Eventually I decided to write a JavaServer Page to do the job.

The Java class to stream the image from the database column
package image;
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import oracle.jdbc.*;
import oracle.sql.*;
public class images
{
/*-------------------------
* Get the Blob image
*------------------------*/
public static byte[] getPhoto (OracleConnection conn, int iNumPhoto)
throws Exception, SQLException
{
String req = "" ;
Blob img ;
byte[] imgData = null ;
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement ();

// Query
req = "Select image From IMAGES Where ImageID = " + iNumPhoto ;

ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery ( req );

while (rset.next ())

{
img = rset.getBlob(1);
imgData = img.getBytes(1,(int)img.length());
}

rset.close();
stmt.close();

return imgData ;
}

The JavaServer Page includes the bean so its methods can be accessed in the
JSP page using scriplets and “photo” as a named bean reference

<%@ page import = "image.*" %>

<%@ page import = "java.io.*" %>
<%@ page import = "oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection" %>
<jsp:useBean id="photo" class="image.images" scope="session" />
<%

int iNumPhoto ;
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection conn = null;

if ( request.getParameter("imgID") != null )
{

iNumPhoto = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("imgID")) ;

try
{

conn = …………;
conn.setAutoCommit (false);

// get the image from the database

byte[] imgData = photo.getPhoto( conn, iNumPhoto ) ;
// display the image
response.setContentType("image/gif");
OutputStream o = response.getOutputStream();
o.write(imgData);
o.flush();
o.close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
throw e;
}
finally
{
… Close the connexion … ;
}
}
%>

To display the image on the web, I now use the following image URL

img src="image.jsp?imgID=12" width="115" border="0"

Special thank you to Frank Nimphius for its good suggestions on the style ;o)
