How to display a jpeg msql Blob field

Hi to All,

I am having difficulties trying to display a jpeg Blob field from a mysql
table in a servlet. All other fields from this table render their text fields
apart from this particular jpeg Blob field - it'll simply not display
anything at all.

Has anyone dealt with with a similar situation using mysql and how?

Will be appreciate any help.


Thank you,

Bob.

Here is snippet from my code:
<<<<
.....

Connection con;
ResultSet res=null;

 public void service(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, java.io.IOException {

      response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
      PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

try {

            stmt = con.createStatement();
            res=stmt .executeQuery(
            "SELECT textField1,textField2,imageField1 FROM tech_bks ORDER BY
id ;");
            out.println("<table border=0 cellpadding=5 cellspacing=2
align=center width=970>");
            InputStream ipsrt =null;
            while (res.next()){
                blob = res.getBlob("imageField1");
                out.println("<tr><td width=40% >" +
res.getString("textField1"));

                out.print("</td><td width=20% align=left>" +
res.getString("textField2")+ "</td><td width=40% align=left>");


                 ipsrt =  blob.getBinaryStream();
                 try{
                    while(IsIpsrt(ipsrt)){
                        out.print(ipsrt.read());
                    }
                    out.print("</td></tr>"  );
                }

                 catch (IOException et){}
            }
            out.println("</table>");
            con.close();
            out.close();
        }
        catch (SQLException e4) {}
}
 private boolean IsIpsrt(InputStream input){
        String dist="";
        dist = input.toString();
        if( dist.equalsIgnoreCase(""))
            return true ;
        else return false;
    }
