Getting a Image from a Blob using Servlet

Hi

We have images stored in a Blob in Oracle Database. I was able to retrieve the bytes of the images from the blob. However in the response output I get a screen of binary characters.

I tried r
response.setContentType("image/gif");

as well. In this scenario it shows me a image place holder on the screen. No image is displayed here as well.

Bytes are read fine from the database. I did verify this.

I am using Oracle application server 10 g env.

Thanks
Karthik
