Retrieving Blob from MySQL and Displaying it on JSP

When working with image data stored in a MySQL database, you might face a common challenge: how to retrieve BLOB (Binary Large Object) data and display that in a JSP (JavaServer Pages) environment. This guide will guide you through the entire process, breaking it down into manageable steps.

Understanding the Problem

You are trying to retrieve images stored as BLOBs in your MySQL database and display them on a web page using JSP. After writing the basic CRUD operations in your Data Access Object (DAO), you might find yourself uncertain about how to continue. Do not worry! This guide will provide a clear approach to accomplish this task using Simple Spring MVC.

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: DAO Layer Preparation

In the Data Access Object (DAO) layer, you typically retrieve data from the database. Here’s an example that fetches all photos:

Step 2: Displaying Images in JSP

To display the retrieved images on your JSP, you'll use HTML image tags. Each image will have a URL that points to a specific controller endpoint. Here’s how your JSP code may look:

Step 3: Setting Up the Controller

Next, you need to define a controller in Spring MVC that will handle requests to retrieve the image data. This controller should map to a URL pattern (e.g., /photo/{id}.jpg) to serve the images. Here's what the interface could look like:

Step 4: Writing the Controller Method

In your controller, you’ll implement the method that serves the requested image by converting the BLOB into a byte array and returning it in the HTTP response. Here’s a simplified version of what the method might look like:

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can efficiently retrieve BLOB data from your MySQL database and display images on a JSP page. The key is to set up your DAO to fetch the images, generate the correct HTML tags for the JSP, and create a controller that properly serves the image data in response to requests.

With these components in place, your application will be able to handle image retrieval and display effectively. Happy coding!
