Inserting an Image into the DataBase :

[Ravi Kiran Va]

Hi , Good day

Inserting an Image into the DataBase :

File image = new File( filename );
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream( image );
ps.setBinaryStream( 3, fis, ( int )image.length() )

The above code is for inserting an Image into DataBase , Now the qestion is that how can i pass this till the DAO Layer ?

[Seetharaman Venkatasamy]

Simple. pass the image into a method of DAO class . and put your inserting stuff in that method

Thanks Seetha ,
But i am not clear how to implement this from scratch . I just created database itself for this .

My scenario is like this :

I want to provide a Browse Button from the UI to enter a Image , from there on how can i achieve this (Pass this to the DAO )

Have a search through this forum for file upload. This question gets asked a lot.

Ravi,
There is no direct method to upload the file. But there are some open source projects are available like jakarta's common upload or UploadBean. Here are the steps to achieve file uploading
1) Declare the form type as FORM ENCTYPE='multipart/form-data'
2) Use any of the above API say you will use UploadBean in that case keep a variable in your bean of UploadedFile. e.g.

public class UploadImage{
private UploadedFile fileUpload;

......
create getters and setters...
}
Now you can use this variable for inserting into the database. Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sanjeev
