Display Image From SQL Blob Object

[aduri]

I have a Blob object from javaDB and want to display it on a docx page.

he following code snippet was used to convert the blob object to byte array

Code: Select all

HashMap<String, Object> hp = new HashMap<>();

Code: Select all

hp.put("a_picture", resultSet.getBytes("ALUMNUS_PICTURE"));

Code: Select all

byte[] bytes2 = serializeObject(data.get("a_picture"));

this code is to add image to paragraph.

Code: Select all

P paragraph = addImageToParagraph(createInlineImage(wordMLPackage,
                wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart(), bytes2, "filename", "alttext", 1, 2));

Code: Select all

private org.docx4j.wml.P addImageToParagraph(Inline inLine) {

        // Now add the anchor in w:p/w:r/w:drawing
        ObjectFactory factory2 = new ObjectFactory();
        org.docx4j.wml.P p = factory.createP();
        org.docx4j.wml.Drawing drawing = factory2.createDrawing();
        R run = factory.createR();
        p.getContent().add(run);
        run.getContent().add(drawing);
        drawing.getAnchorOrInline().add(inLine);

        return p;
    }

this is used to create inline image from the byte array

Code: Select all

    private Inline createInlineImage(WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage2,
            Part sourcePart, byte[] bytes, String filenameHint, String altText,
            int id1, int id2) throws Exception {

        BinaryPartAbstractImage imagePart = BinaryPartAbstractImage.createImagePart(wordMLPackage2,
                sourcePart, bytes);

        return imagePart.createImageInline(filenameHint, altText,
                id1, id2, 800000, 750000, false);

    }


But when i run this code the Netbeans IDE gives an error about the format of the image. the error message is given below.

Code: Select all

any suggestion on the way forward is welcomed.

What format is your image?

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "imconvert"

The method convertToPNG is being invoked, to convert image formats which are not supported by Word (eg EPS, PDF),
into ones which are. This requires ImageMagick to be on your system's path (renamed to imconvert); for EPS and PDF images, Ghostscript is also required.

The logic is:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

            if (imagePreloaderFound
                    && (info.getMimeType().equals(ContentTypes.IMAGE_TIFF)
                                        || info.getMimeType().equals(ContentTypes.IMAGE_EMF2) // ImageInfo
                                        || info.getMimeType().equals(ContentTypes.IMAGE_WMF)
                                        || info.getMimeType().equals(ContentTypes.IMAGE_PNG)
                                        || info.getMimeType().equals(ContentTypes.IMAGE_JPEG)
                                        || info.getMimeType().equals(ContentTypes.IMAGE_GIF)
                                        || info.getMimeType().equals(ContentTypes.IMAGE_BMP))) {
                               
                                // If its a format Word supports natively,
                                // do nothing here
                                log.debug(".. supported natively by Word");                                    
                               
            } else if (imageFile != null && bytes != null) {
                               
                                // otherwise (eg if its an EPS or PDF), try to convert it
                                // Although the Word UI suggests you can embed an EPS
                                // directly, Word actually converts it to an EMF;
                                // Word is unable to read a plain EPS image part.

the image is in jpg format.
Note.
when the image is loaded directly from a file , it displays correctly.
for example :

Code: Select all

file = new File("src/resources/images/logo.jpg");
        bytes = convertImageToByteArray(file);

but when stored and retrieved as a blob object, docx4j
complains about the format.

[jason]

Well, docx4j normally wouldn't have a problem loading a jpeg. Maybe yours is base64 encoded, or truncated?

I suggest you compare the size of your blob to the size of your logo.jpg file, then look at the first few bytes of each.
