play a wmv file in jsp

[prakash chauhan]

Hi
I need some help.
What i am trying to do is as follows:
I have an action class that saves a .mp3 /.wmv file to my database as a blob object , and after that i m forwarding the request to my playfile.jsp and passing a byte array for that i get from the same blob object saved above using request.setAttribute("BYTESARRAY",bytes)
now it seems to be working fine if i use an image file insead of a sound file , the images shows up in the jsp . i m using scriplet , as i dont know what else to use as follows

<% response.setContentType("audio/x-ms-wma"); 
ServletOutputStream os= response.getOutputStream();
os.write((byte[])request.getAttribute("BYTESARRAY"));
%>

now what it does is , it tries to open windows media player(not in the browser , but as standalon) and then gives message in the windows media player that its not able to play the file as the server is unavailable.

what i actually wanted to do was , from the page where i browse and upload the file the servlet should choose the file upload it the byte array through the action and set it to the request and forward the request to next jsp where jsp should show the embedded windows media player and just play the file ..
is it possible with jsp?
-thanks

Hi,

Okay i was thinking if it would be good solution to play my sound files.

user will see the link for the sound file on the jsp , when clicked on the link i ll fetch the data from the database and save it to a file in a temp folder and then from that temp folder i ll play that file using the
html 's <EMBED> tag, but can we specify the SRC at RunTime?
-Thanks
