As far as the first question it depends on the LDAP directory. We use Oracle Internet Directory which has a great Java API for accessing the Directory.
as far as displaying an image once it's recieved I wrote a servlet called GetImage which connects to the LDAP Directory and retrieves the image then simply sets the return type of the output stream to "image/jpg" and pipes output of the image retrieval to the servlets output stream. Any HTML or jsp page which needs an image from the Directory uses the following code <img src="/getImage?fileName=SomeName"> thus instead of the image src making a direct link to the image it calls the servlet which gets the image and outputs it in the correct format. -----Original Message----- From: Roland Dong [mailto:rdong@;CAIT.ORG] Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 3:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to retrieve jpeg image file from LDAP? I am working on a project which retrieves jpeg image files and heave them displayed in the browser. These jpeg photos are stored as base64 in LDAP server. I am using JSP for this project. My questions are 1. How do I retrieve images from LDAP using jsp? I know how to retrieve any data of string type. 2. How do I decode them back into binary and display them? Any examples?
