Re: Re: How do I display TIF images, but not allow direct download?

[Mandy.Shaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Snippet of code from a proof of concept I did:

      InputStream inputStream = blob.getBinaryStream();
      long length = blob.length();
      response.setContentType(contentType);
      byte [] loader = new byte [ (int) length ];
      inputStream.read(loader);
      ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
      out.write(loader);

The ones we have done are targeted at plugins (not, I admit, specifically
TIFF format images). TIFF can be a problem with browsers in my experience,
but I am quite sure others on the list will have more to offer on this.

The content type (i.e. "application/PDF" or whatever) is passed as a
parameter to the servlet from which the code has been taken. blob is
needless to say a Blob. I have had no problems with any size of image when
using Tomcat and JDK1.4 on Linux/Win2K, but I do seem to recall others in
my team having problems with images over a certain size in other
situations.

To be honest I think this is really all I know on this one - it's clear
others with more in depth experience can further the discussion though.
