Getting an image out of a BLOB field

[Bert Van Kets <be...@visitronics.be>]

Hi Guys,
if I have images stored in BLOB fields in a database, how do I get them out 
of there and to the browser?
If I use the SQL generator/transformer in the sitemap I would get XML 
containing the binary data.  Can this data be sent to the browser as a 
image/jpg mime type?
Is this the way to go, or do I need some other way.

I'm using Win2K server, Apache 1.3, Tomcat 4, Cocoon v2.

Thanks,
Bert

Try using the DatabaseReader!
