Rhino, That for getting back to me. I am coding with Java 1.5(or whatever they call the latest version). I have all the framework done and can create the table without the images. I would prefer not to have to write the image to the file system since there could be many photos being displayed depending on the parameters. I have a person class that has one Blob field image_data and five String fields(name, location, etc.). I need to write that image_data field to the response along with the other fields in the servlet so that the image is displayed on the web page. Thanks Calvin

I'm not quite sure what you want. Are you asking if it is possible? Are you looking for a program that does what you want? Are you looking for code fragments that show the gist of how to do what you want? Are you concerned with how to get the picture out of the database or how to display it once you've retrieved it or both? In a nutshell, it sounds like it ought to be pretty straightforward to do what you want to do. I've obtained blobs from databases before - but it was a DB2 or MySQL database, not Oracle - it wasn't too hard. Simply displaying a JPEG, GIF, or PNG from the filesystem within a servlet is easy. Fetching a blob from a database and then displaying it might be a little harder; you may have to put the image in the file system first although, now that I think about it, the ImageIO classes should be able to grab the photo without first having to write it to the file system. Of course, I'm assuming that your program will be written in a recent version of Java that support ImageIO. -- Rhino -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
