Here is the code for my jsp displaying page. Driver code to this is a basic login page which redirects to my this jsp page. I changed the code a bit and tuned it to see if my image is available or not. I tried by just giving the direct destination under "src" tag , it worked but when i retrieve it through resultSet.getString(column_name) it shows bits of symbols. If i use .getBlob I get a empty image box
