slide show in jsp

[elham pkn]

I want to get some pictures from database and make a slide show in jsp.
I can do it if I know the exact number of pictures .but each time I run the program the number of pictures change.
Would you please give me the solution?
thanks

"elham pkn",

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!

This can be done in several ways. You can get the count first and then pictures. Or you can get the pictures in soem collection and count them. Just discussed two possible solutions which presently came into my mind.
