display a image from file system

[rukshan]

Hi

In my application a user is able to upload his/her photo. other than that there are so many other files the user can upload.
Once uploaded, normal files only need to be able to download, but for the photo I want to display it on the view.

for ex. lets say if I have a image pah as /home/rukshan/test.jpg how can I display it on the view?

please advice....

Thanks in advance

I dont know if you can do this from Spring Controller (since it returns a ModelAndView and I'm new to Spring) but from a servlet, you would have to change the content type of your response i.e "image/jpg" and write the picture in the OutputStream.

Spring controller is kind of a Servlet

You can write the stuff into the HttpServletResponse. Get the writer from there and that's it. What comes to ModelAndView return value, just return a null value. It's prohibited to write some own stuff to HttpServletResponse and return a ModelAndView object.

can some one advice me what would be the best practise for above scenario. For one of my previous project what I did was I created a folder under webapps folder and saved all uploaded files in the folder I created, so I managed to display the image using <img > tag just like loading from images folder, but I feel my approach is wrong.

My objective is to display a users details + photo.

any advice??

thank you.
