thanks in advance .

[Karthikeyan Ramaswamy]

hi,

try this ...............


//myByte is my byte array

java.sql.Blob blob=null;
blob.setBytes(1, myByte );


----------------------------------

Hopefully there would in real life be something else between those two lines of code. As written, the second line will throw a NullPointerException.

hi karthikeyan... thanks for your reply...
but i have to display that bolb image in the jsp page using struts ... can you help me for that .. please

Displaying a blob via struts is a lot different than converting it. You may be trying to do too many things at once. In particular, try converting the blob to a readable image, then work on serving the image via struts.

by using jsp , i can able to get the image as the byte[] using Formfile , i have to insert that image to my database (having the column datatype as "BLOB") and have to display in the jsp page after finished uploading ..
if you have solution for these issue . please reply..

Perhaps you should try the struts forum. It sounds like you're not sure how to pass the data back/forth in struts. If you can save it to a database, reading it should be trivial (the JDBC component of it anyway).

Blob blob=null; //is our blob object
byte[] buffer; //is our byte array
blob=new SerialBlob(buffer);

The SerialBlob is a very good option on this

[Ravi Choudhari]

InputStream is = myBlob.getBinaryStream();

// IOUtils is from Apache Commons IO
byte[] a = IOUtils.toByteArray(is);

[Ravi Choudhari]

Blob blob = Hibernate.createBlob(bytes);
