Html Thumbnailer plugin

We stored the image's data by an array of bytespublic class ImageReport {

private String attachmentKey;private byte[] content;

public String getAttachmentKey() { return attachmentKey;

}public void setAttachmentKey(String attachmentKey) { this.attachmentKey = attachmentKey;}public byte[] getContent() {

return content;}public void setContent(byte[] content) {

this.content = content;}

}



In data set, create a column with Blob type

And, use image element to show the image
