If you wish to send BOTH html and the image in the same invocation of the servlet,
then you're mistaken. HTTP/HTML, in general, doesn't work that way. You should make a
servlet which can retrieve a single picture, something like:
/servlets/showImage?src=my_test_pic.gif
Then make your servlet accept "src" parameter, retrive the image from the database.
Based on the extension you should set the correct MIME type, in this case "image/gif"
and send it. You should set Response->contentType to your MIME type and open a servlet
output stream in the Response and just splash your image into it.
Nix.
