Image is not displayed on reterival

Image
By User



I have a table with Images stored in it as BLOB. I'm using JPA/Hibernate. So, that Images are mapped to a bean field with type blob. Now my Spring controller is returning entire list of bean (each object of this bean has a blob object) to my jsp. I want to display all the images on that jsp. So, I tried to use some thing like this on my jsp,







<c:forEach items="${itemList}" var="item" varStatus="status" >



<img src="<c:out value="${item.image}" />"/><br/> /*<img src="${item.image}"/> */



</c:forEach>







but that is not working. Instead of getting the list of images displayed on jsp , I 'm getting the class name, when I view the page source I saw something like this <img src="java.object.serilizableBlob@2134"/>





Please help me delve with the problem. How can I display all the images on same jsp.

    The <img src> has to point to an URL, not to a toString() representation of some blob object. The webbrowser wouldn't understand how to download it and it will effectively end up in a HTTP 404 error.

    You rather want to end up with for example this:

    <img src="url/to/image.png" />


    To serve images dynamically from a database, use a servlet. You should then instead of a list of blobs have a list of unique image IDs/filenames so that your HTML end up like this

    <img src="imageservlet/image1.png" />
    <img src="imageservlet/image2.png" />
    <img src="imageservlet/image3.png" />


    This way the browser can download the images by URL and display them accordingly.

    No, printing binary data among all that HTML won't help. The data URI scheme comes close, but this isn't fully supported in all modern browsers.

    How to retrieve and display images from a database in a JSP page? - this shows the "raw JDBC" example, but the idea is the same for JPA/Hibernate; just get a byte[] or an InputStream of the DB somehow and write it to the OutputStream of the response after having set the necessary response headers so that the browser understands how to deal with it.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
