You're going about it the wrong way, for a few reasons:

1) Don't use getString for a binary field to get its length. Binary data like an image is not a String.
2) Don't use InputStream's read(byte[]) or read(byte[], int, int) method without a loop. The method is never guaranteed to read exactly as many bytes as you want.

In your case, I would go for one of two ways. Both will do only one single query.
1) Use getBytes to get the entire content as a byte[], then write that to the response output stream.
2) Use only getInputStream, then read from the InputStream until the read method returns -1. Here is an example on how to do that.

Also, make sure you close the ResultSet in a finally block. If something goes wrong in your current code the ResultSet won't be closed.

Don't use empty exception blocks.
Don't create strings for each request.
Don't load the driver more than once.
I would start with that first.

Whenever we retrieve the image from the DB. It will be downloaded to the system. Then next time whenever
we sends the request for an image the browser will look whether there is any downloaded image and it will show the
image. So at the time of second request append some random value to the url. Then browser will try to fetch a new image.


you can refer Retrieve image from database using Servlet in Rose India for the code.

if this is the original url
http://server/myapp.php?id=10

just add
http://server/myapp.php?id=10&x='+(Math.random())

in this case every time some new random no will be added to the url and the browser
will take the request as the new one.

Are you using the jsp/html for sending the request.. rt?
While "submitting" the url need to be appended.

Please EaseUp. There is no such thing as "urgent" around here.

Please repost the code with proper indentation and UseCodeTags. Unindented code is too hard to read.

Also, what is happening on the second time? Is the servlet even running? ShowSomeEffort and find out as much as you can about how the two passes differ.

I'm sorry, I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Could you explain it differently, perhaps with more detail?

You haven't said anything about the HTML which contains the link to this image servlet. Could you show that to us?

The code you wrote is an image servlet. It's called that because it's a servlet which is designed to return an image as its response.

It seems to me that part of your problem is that you are having trouble with English. It doesn't make it any easier to ask questions about technical subjects which you are trying to learn, when you can't even find the words to ask the questions. Could I suggest that you find somebody who speaks English a bit better, and ask them to help you ask the questions?
