java - How to display an image in jsp?

Question

I have a bytearray image.

I need to show that image in jpg format in jsp page and while clicking the image, i can download the image to my pc:

I am loading the image from my mysql db as byte array..

My code is

     ResultSet res = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM 
   upload_data where user_id = "+userID);
   while (res.next()) {

 contactDetails = new ContactDetails();

contactDetails.setContactPhoto(res.getBytes("photo"));

byteArrayBackToImage1(res.getBytes("photo"));
 contactsList.add(contactDetails);
}

public void byteArrayBackToImage1(byte[] imageInByte){
try{

     Random rand = new Random();
        int numNoRange = rand.nextInt();
        String number = String.valueOf(numNoRange);
    //convert byte array back to BufferedImage


    InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(imageInByte);
    BufferedImage bImageFromConvert = ImageIO.read(in);
    System.out.println("bImageFromConvert : "+bImageFromConvert);

    /*ImageIO.write(bImageFromConvert, "jpg", 
             new File("c:"+number+".jpg")); */


}catch (Exception e) {
    // TODO: handle exception
}

I need to show the image in jsp as

eg: image.jpg image2.jpg

and by clicking image.jsp , i can download that image and save it to my pc

Please help

The HTML you generate in your JSP must contain an img element with an src pointing to the URL of a servlet or action which will load the image from the database and send it to the ouput stream with the image/jpeg content type.

// in your HTML :
<img src="/getImage.action?imageId=${id_of_the_image}"/>

// in the servlet mapped to /getImage.action:
// get the ID of the image from the request parameters
String imageId = request.getParameter("imageId");
byte[] imageData = getImageFromDatabase(imageId);
response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
response.getOutputStream().write(imageData);

All the browsers have a right-click - Save image as... menu item, so I wouldn't implement this in the app.
