you first have convert the BLOB to a jpg or gif for browsers to handle. how well
that's done depends on the complications of the image itself.
check out Jason Hunter's http://www.servlets.com/ particularly
http://www.servlets.com/jsp/examples/ch06/index.html
and http://www.servlets.com/jsp/examples/ch06/index.html#ex06_03
look over the code, get the libraries (forgot who wrote them right now)
and you'll see what i mean
