Your ImageAction could stream the result in the appropriate format itself. When done, return null instead of an ActionForward to indicate to struts that the Action has already handled writing the response.
Not sure what headers etc... need to be set though. If you search the archive you can probably find some examples. hth Andrew -----Original Message----- From: Turner Benjamin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 12 February 2004 19:31 To: Struts-User (E-mail) Subject: struts actions and content/type responses hello, i am looking for a solution for the following problem: in my database i have various BLOB items which represent images (gif or jpg). i would like to create a struts action which returns this (by passing along a request parameter to the action which is the imageid in the database. is it possible to set the response content/type in an action and then return the image itself somehow? maybe with a requestdispatcher? any ideas/pointers to this would be welcome. ty, Ben --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
