cheers

The solution is to omit @Lob annotation leaving just

@Basic(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, optional = false)
public byte[] getContentData() {
return contentData;
}

<s:graphicImage value=”#{entity.picture}”…/>

If it displays the image, it’s good. I really can’t help you more – your questions are probably better for forums: http://seamframework.org/Community/Forums

rich:fileUpload id=”fileUploadID” immediateUpload=”true”
fileUploadListener=”#{saasTenantsHome.fileUploadListener}”
listWidth=”460″ listHeight=”60″
immediate=”true”

Sorry for not mentioning if it works or not….

I am using
richfaces-ui-3.2.1.GA.jar
richfaces-api-3.2.1.GA.jar
richfaces-impl-3.2.1.GA.jar files

In richfaces i set immediateUpload=”true” so when i select a image file
I calls then fileUploadListener method in java home class….

UploadItem upload; (for getting the extension..)
File file; ( for getting the upload file…)

from this object i can able to get bytes of the selected image and extension..setBrandingLogo
I put this object in session scope…

Then i entered all the textfield like…
name
Address… etc..

When i submit the form i get the byte from the (File file;) object and set to branding..
at the time i have byte array… with values…

Then i call persist() in java Home class to insert image…

Please can u suggest me is this the right way to do it….

I wrote everything I know into the blog post. Sorry.

I used bytea for storing image into daatabase … in postgres 8.3
I got exception

is of type bytea but expression is of type Integer…
Then i change to OID datatype same as bolb in oracle…. .

This is my java class :

private byte[] brandingLogo;

@Column(name = “branding_logo”)
@Lob
public byte[] getBrandingLogo() {
return this.brandingLogo;
}

public void setBrandingLogo(byte[] brandingLogo) {
this.brandingLogo = brandingLogo;
}

public void fileUploadListener(UploadEvent event) throws Exception{

upload = event.getUploadItem();
if (upload.isTempFile()) {
file = upload.getFile();
} else {
ByteArrayOutputStream b = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
b.write(upload.getData());
}
}

public UploadItem getUpload() {
return upload;
}

public void setUpload(UploadItem upload) {
this.upload = upload;
}

public File getFile() {
return file;
}

public void setFile(File file) {
this.file = file;
}

But when i store it…
id | branding_logo
—+—————
1 | 206533
2 | 206534
3 | 206535
9 | 206543
7 | 206537

How can i identify that is store the image… in database..
I guess it store sequence number…

Please help me…
