Displaying a image from blob

Hi all,
          i am storing a image/word doc in a clob in database. How to display it to
          the user(in the browser) programmatically?
          in other words
          When user click on some link, servlet/jsp should able to get that
          image/word doc from database(from clob) and should be displayed it to him.
          Any ideas??
          thanks in advance,

Display image from BLOB field (png image)

Hello,
On my database i have a function which return BLOB (png image from a webservice)..
Is there some tutorial or sample code how to display a image froma blob field in oracle reports?
thank you

You can create a view and base your report on that view. The view would be something like:
create or replace view my_view as
select my_blob_function() image
from ...In your Report it would just be:
select image
from my_viewNow, I'm not sure if Reports supports png format, though.
There are many examples to be found, e.g.

Hello,
It is very difficult for us to "guess" what images you can read and what others you cannot.
Maybe you could provide more information on images that are not displayed ?
What is their native format ?

How can I display an image from a shared-network folder?

Hi
Does anyone know how I can display images from within APEX that are found outside the database? What configuration have I missed?
Within Windows-Internet-Explore I can access the following image using the below URLs, BUT I cannot access it from within APEX?
What do I need to do so APEX can display theses images from our internal shared network folder?
both these URLs work within Firefox (but on APEX):
\\Saremote\UPDOWNFILES_DIR\polk_insight.gif
file://///Saremote/UPDOWNFILES_DIR/polk_insight.GIF
So within APEX I have created a "display as Text' Item that works with this "amazon image" syntax:
{lessthan} IMG SRC= {doublequot} http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/navbar2000/logo-no-border(1).gif {doublequot} {greaterthan}
BUT sadly not with my image:
{lessthan} IMG SRC= {doublequot} file://///Saremote/UPDOWNFILES_DIR/polk_insight.GIF {doublequot} {greaterthan}
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

If you have a local html file, or open an image locally from the menu, then yes, it works, but with web pages that are served from a remote location (web server), security kicks in and prevents the web page from accessing local files (and files on a networked drive).
you will either have to put the image on the web server and access it through http, or you can load it into the database/workspace images and access it that way.

How to load images from BLOB to javascript?

hi, Guys:
I need to load thumbnail images from BLOB to multiple markers' infowindow in Google map . I have implemented Google map in APEX. I load the data suchas text for every marker's infowindow from Oracle database table with PL/JSON, and infowindow works fine. Could anyone give me a suggestion or example so I know how to load images to javascript?
Thanks a lot.
Database: Oracle 11g R2
APEX: APEX 4.1
Thanks.

hi, VC:
Thanks for your kind reply. I need to render these images out of APEX session, actually in javascript that is related to Google map markers' infowindow.
I checked the documents of APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC, but my impression is I need to use it in APEX instead of javascript if my understanding is correct. I already implemented a procedure with PL/SQL to load images from a BLOB column in Oracle database. But the problem is, how can I pass it to javascript code out of APEX to javascript (I could pass text or number from APEX to javascript with PL/JSON though,But I assume that still google map will be within a valid apex session? if so you should be able to use the above api.
Basically what this api does is generates a kind of url to each blob in the database, not sure how google api's deal with this though. Why don't you give it a try?
The other option is to make your pl/sql procedure public and then you can generate the json to include the images urls such as:
     "employees" : [{
               "firstName" : "John",
               "lastName" : "Doe",
               "imgSrc" : "http://somewhere/db_schema.your_download_proc?p_file=#ID#",
               "firstName" : "Anna",
               "lastName" : "Smith"
               "imgSrc" : "http://somewhere/db_schema.your_download_proc?p_file=#ID#",
               "firstName" : "Peter",
               "lastName" : "Jones"
               "imgSrc" : "http://somewhere/db_schema.your_download_proc?p_file=#ID#",
}And then you can use this new attribute to populate the images in javascript using standard img tag
See this tutorial http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e13363/up_dn_files.htm
I did not find any method in PL/JSON to pass image object)? So far I only found example to load images from local files to javascript.Hmm..I don't think you should load image objects.

Display an image from an array of bytes

Hi, I'm trying to display an image from the raw pixel values. lets say i read a bmp file to an array, chuk the header off and want to display the pixel. How can I do this? I don't want any file formats, just want to display the pixels and creat the image. Is this possible?
Many thanks,

Thanks for the reply. I had a look at MemoryImageSource and other classes that relates to it. I wrote the example given, but it doesn't identify createImage(). I've implemented ImageProducer, but still complains. Have you any idea why? Thanks for your help.

Displaying image from BLOB from DB in Browser

I have a PL/SQL procedure to create a table with a BLOB image, mime type, key, etc. I can use another PL/SQL to load the images into the table. I have a PL/SQL procedure to get an image. I would like to call this procedure and pass the key parameter to display an image in a browser using HTML. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.

Use a java servlet to call your stored procedure (using jdbc), this will return the image as a java blob class. You can then write the java blob bytestream to the servlet response object, this should then appear in the browser.

Hello,
Try to revert to the "old" way to render images :
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/topics/htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs/rwrefex/envvars/envvar_reports_default_display.htm
To revert to the dependency on DISPLAY and use screen fonts (old font look up algorithm):
Set REPORTS_DEFAULT_DISPLAY=NO.
Remove the screenprinter.ppd entry in the uiscreenprint.txt file.
Set the DISPLAY variable to the active X-Windows display surface.

Displaying an image from a URL

I have a program which visits a html page and creates a JComboBox with all the images from that page. When the user selects an image from the combo box it displays that image in a JLabel. This works fine with images that exist, when I try it with an image that doesn't exist I want it to realise that and display a message saying that "the image cannot be found". Heres part of my code that handles the selection:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent f) {
                    JComboBox cb = (JComboBox)f.getSource();
                    String imageName = (String)cb.getSelectedItem();
                    try {
                         imageUrl = new URL(imageName);
                    catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
                         System.out.println("Image Collection Error: " + ex);
                    catch (Exception e) {
                         System.out.println("Some sort of exception: " + e);
                    picture.setIcon(new ImageIcon(imageUrl));
          });When I select a bad link image from the list I was hoping the catch blocks would trap it and I could make adjustments accordingly, this does not happen. No exception is thrown at all.
Any ideas of what I can do??
Bow_wow.

Thanks for your help, I have changed it to the following code:
ImageIcon imageToDisplay = new ImageIcon(imageUrl);
                    ImageIcon badImage = new ImageIcon("logo.jpg"); // An image I know exists
                    int status = imageToDisplay.getImageLoadStatus();
                    if (status == MediaTracker.COMPLETE) {
                         picture.setIcon(imageToDisplay);
                    else {
                         picture.setIcon(badImage);
                    }It works now, thanks again for your help!

[Forum FAQ] How to display an image from Http response in Reporting Services?

Question:
There is a kind of scenario that users want to display an image which is from URL. In Reporting Services, if the URL points to an image file, we can directly display it by typing the URL in embedded image. However, some URLs are just sending Http requests
to server side, then redirect to another position and the server will return the image. For these kind of URLs, Reporting Services can’t directly render the image from Http response.
Answer:
To achieve this goal, we can add custom code into the report. Pass the URL as argument into our custom function so that we can create HttpRequest and get the HttpResponse. Then we can use custom function to return the Bytes() from the HttpResponse and render
it into an image in report.
Ps: In Reporting Services, it only support drawing Bytes() array into image, so we need to have our custom function return Bytes array.
Add the assembly and custom code into the report.
Public shared Function GetImageFromByte(Byval URL as String) As byte()
                Dim photo as System.Drawing.Image
         Dim Request As System.Net.HttpWebRequest
       Dim Response As System.Net.HttpWebResponse
              Request = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(URL)
                 Response = CType(Request.GetResponse, System.Net.WebResponse)
             If Request.HaveResponse Then
                  If Response.StatusCode = Net.HttpStatusCode.OK Then
                       photo = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(Response.GetResponseStream)
                 End If
            End If
              Dim ms AS System.IO.MemoryStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream()
             photo.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
                Dim imagedata as byte()
                imagedata = ms.GetBuffer()
                return imagedata
End Function

Go to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\RSpreviewPolicy.config

Hi, I'd like to display a dynamic image from the web inside a JLabel or any other swing component it could work in. I've been looking on the Swing tutorials and others forums, all I can have is that a JLabel can load an Icon object, defined by an image URL, but can this URL be like "http://xxxxx/image.jpg" somehow or can it only be a local image URL?>
I do not know why you start talking about an image on the web then go on to show concerns about whether it will work for a 'local' URL.
But perhaps this answer will cover the possibilities.
So long as you can from an URL to the image, and the bytes are available for download (e.g. some web sites wrap a direct call to an image in HTML that embeds the image), the URL based icon constructors will successfully load it.
It does not matter if that URL points to
- a web site,
- a local server ('localhost'),
- an URL representation of a File on the local file system, or
- it is inside a Jar file that is on the application's run-time classpath.
How you go about forming a valid URL to a 'local resources' (or indeed what you regard as local resources) is another matter, depending on the form of the project, and how the resources are stored (see list above).
Probably the main reason that examples use images at a hard coded URL on the net is that it makes an 'image example' self contained. As soon as we compile and run it, we can see the result. I have posted a few examples like that on these forums.

How to Display a image from WebCam in the Forms 10.1.2.0.2!

Hi Friends!
I'm using a Forms 10.1.2.0.2 and i need to display of someway a image from webcam in some item inside the Forms!
This is possible?
I saw an explanation in http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/89431/67467/ but it works only for a Forms 6.0!
Somebody can Help me?

As Jan mentioned, there is no way to display webcam video in Forms unless you create a Java Bean which can be incorporated into your form. As Pauli mentioned, if your webcam software is viewable via a browser, you can use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to display a browser window with the content, however you will not be able to put this content in the form using the method.
A good starting place would be Google. Look for a java bean or applet which can operate a web cam.
