Hi

I'm new to Hibernate and get stuck with the issue. I'm using combination of Hibernate/Struts along with MySQL and Tomcat. I came across the following publication

http://www.arunma.com/2007/03/01/upload ... -hibernate

and made it working for me to upload images to MySQL as Blob. It's working fine.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to find anything suitable as an example or case study for the purpose of displaying those in JSP.

Can somebody please suggest me the right approach with using Hibernate for such a purpose?

Any help would be gretaly appreciated. Thanks.

I've done quite a bit of work with image storage, retrieval and basic manipulation (rescaling, thumbnailing etc) using Hibernate. So if you have any specific questions please ask (see email address below).

The main problem I encountered was memory leaks: and not all those issues are resolved to my satisfaction yet: I had to bypass the usual Hibernate mechanism for image binary data transfer and go direct to JDBC to avoid frequent out of memory crashes. I continue to use Hibernate for all other aspects of the image database.
