Your IMG tag must specify a URL that points to the image serving servlet and includes the catgId parameter.

I recommend that you start from the simplest test - a static HTML page containing a single IMG tag. When you get that working, then go to JSP. Trying to do everything at once will just be confusing.

Note that image fetching will always be a GET, not a POST.

There'll be one image per IMG tag. The only way a JSP page can display multiple images is by creating multiple IMG tags.

the images are dynamic it may be 1 or 5 or 25.
How to keep multiple image tag in jsp.

Is this way is good to use inside jsp
inside loop i use this image tag and i will pass imageid to retrieve it from db.

<img src="myservletName?imageId="+imgId>
But it will hit the DB 'N' number of time.
perfomance wise its not good idea to use.

kindly suggest how to do it in better manner.

P.S : Kindly tell me whether the java codes are correct.

Yes, that's the basic approach to do this.

But it will hit the DB 'N' number of time.


Not necessarily. You can retrieve the image data for all images once -with a single SELECT statement- and keep them in a session. You may want to keep track of which images have been rendered, so that you can remove the data from the session once they've all been displayed.

I did the DAO and it retrieved the image from the DB.
In Action file i wrote the bytes into ByteArrayOutputStream.

After that i have to keep the ByteArrayOutputStream into session and i have to retrieve the image from the byteArrayOutputStream.

This is what my understanding.
If i am wrong kindly tell me how to do this.

Please suggest any good link to that contain information about this.

P.S:Hi guys please tell me whether action and dao files are correct.Any change i have to do in Action and dao file.

Putting streams in the session is not such a good idea. The easiest would seem a List<byte[]>.
