Yes, make the image element's src attribute a call to a servlet that just streams out the image. So for example, in your HTML page you have:
<img src="http://mydomain.com/mywebapp/imagestreamservlet?imageID=xxx";> Then the 'imagestreamservlet' does the image lookup and streams it out to the response writer (i.e. response.setContentType("image/gif") or image/jpeg, or whatever, then grab response.getWriter() and start writing bytes from a reader on the image file to it). The only sticking point is that you do not know the image dimensions before grabbing the image (duh!), so if you need width/height info for the image in the page, it may be worthwhile having the HTML page also produced by a servlet that also looks up the image, but only retrieves metadata about it and sticks it in the appropriate places. jeff john-paul delaney wrote: > Hello List... > > Using a servlet, I retrieve an image from a database, but I want to send it in a >formatted html page to the client... any suggestions on how to approach this >(combining html and streaming images) appreciated. > > thanks > /j-p. > > > ----------------------- > JUSTATEST Art Online > www.justatest.com > > > > > -- > To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > -- Jeffrey Bonevich Ann Arbor, Michigan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bonevich.com Hw�t!
