Folks, Lately there's been a bunch of chatter on the list about image upload and figuring out how to put the image files in the right place to serve them again. I've written a simple example of image uploading, storing the image in the RDBMS and then serving the image. You can find the code at:

He's double escaping so that scala's string interpretation will put a raw \ in there, so that it's an escaped forward slash (\/) to the JSON parson, as I understand it. The output should be either invalid escape or forward slash, but not backslash unless the input was \\. -Ross On Nov 30, 2

Storing files inside the exploded WAR file is a tremendously bad idea. I don't think we should be helping a user do something that is going to continue to cause him pain. If he needs to upload images, etc. and then subsequently present them to the user, it's two tables in the RDBMS and a single s
