Hi i have a method which returns 'image' and i need to display the same image in UI and am using jsf1.2 , icefaces 1.8.2 , Jboss seam.
Am adding the snippet i used to display image in UI, but am unable to get image in UI.

public BufferedImage imageReturn(String taskId) throws IOException {
byte[] bytes;

EntityManager em = (EntityManager) Component.getInstance("entityManager");
System.out.println("Task ID : " + taskId);

bytes = (byte[]) em.createQuery("select t.image from Task t where t.taskId = " + taskId).getSingleResult();

System.out.println("bytes---> " + Arrays.toString(bytes));
InputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes);

BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(inputStream);
return image;

In XHTML page :-

<tr> <td >
Signature	
</td> <td> <h:graphicImage id="image" alt="signature could not be found" value="#{taskHome.imageReturn(taskHome.instance.taskId)}" /> </td>

Thanks in advance :-)

1.) Create a Servlet and map it's URL to /images/*.
2.) Use the servlet parameters or request.getPath Info() to get an image id and use that id in the servlet to stream out the image data
3.) Make your graphicImage tag point to your image id e.g

<h:graphicImage value="images/#{bean.imageId}">

where bean.getImageId returns the id of the image.
