Bmp-pictures in servlet with HTTP-server

Question

hey,
We are 2 belgium students who are making a training at France.
We have to make a picture server.
Our problem is that we don't have a clue how to display the bmp-pictures who are saved in a Access database in the browser.
The code that we are now using gives characters and not the picture (logical but how to solve ?) :
case Types.Varbinary :
case Types.Binary :
case Types.Longvarbinary :
byte[] binary = rs.getBytes(col);
out.println("<th>" + new String(binary, 0) + "</th>");
break;
Thanks !

Well - you'll have to tell the client it's a picture, for a start!
Generally I think you'll have to output <img src="imageservlet?param_identifies_image" /> in your page, and have another servlet that waits for the client to request the image data before reading it from the db and sending it out (with the appropriate MIME type, of course).
What I'm saying is, don't inline the images in the page itself.
