Hi,
I guess you could write the URL to all images from the database as
'/databaseimage/<primary key>'. For example: '/databaseimage/13'. Then you
map a servlet to /databaseimage. This servlet cheks the request URI for the
primary key, reads the file from the database and then sends it on the
response.
