Your example is using Struts 1.2.6. Maybe I can upgrade, but I don't think so right now. I guess I was thinking of it in the wrong way as you stated, but I sure did not think it would be difficult to display an image stored in a database on a web page.
If anyone else has a work around that they are using in Struts 1.2.4 I would apprehiate the help. I do have a DAO layer that is getting my data from the database, Actions and Forms to load this into.

Tags run on the server to generate HTML content - so all the <html:img> tag does is render the html markup of <img src="...."> - its then the browsers job to download the image referenced in the "src" attribute. So what you need is to specify a url in that src attribute which will run something on the server to get your image from the database and return the image's content as the response. You can do that with a Struts action - retrieve the image, write it out as the response and return "null" (rather than an action forward) - setting the appropriate content stuff. There is a "download action" which is designed to make this kind of thing easier (Ithink it was introduced in Struts 1.2.4), details here: http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsFileDownload Niall On 1/24/06, Gary Feidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Everybody, > > I'm using Struts 1.2.4, with no frills (JSTL, Struts EL) - just using > Struts framework and tags. > > I am exploring the ability to display images from database - never done > this before.
