Hi All,

8.1 as an ear.
This EAR contains some EJB's some jar files and a war file.
Hi All,
We have web J2EE web based application which is deployed on weblogic

Now we want to display an image on the jsp after retreiving it from the
database.Image is stored in the database as a BLOB object.
Currently what is implemented is e.g as soon as user selects a product an
image file (.jpg) is generated from the BLOB
object (at some predefined location say C:\ImageFolder) and in jsp(HTML)
we display this image with with giving this path in
IMG src tag.

Is there any way where we can get rid of this absolute path(hard coded)
path and generate the image at a relative path and display
from there in our jsp or is there any other wat to achieve it.

How are users supposed to access an image on your C: drive?

Why are you putting the jpeg into a file, you should be generating the output on the fly. I don't know much about JSP's but in a servlet you would use the response.getOutputStream and response.setContentType to send an image directly to the client. I suspect that JSP has tags for this sort of thing.
