    • Map this URL to a servlet.
    • From the servlet, retrieve an Entity holding a byte[] (mapped as @Lob
      ) by id.
    • Stream the image to the HttpServletResponse

    The fellow BalusC wrote a nice post about such an image servlet on his blog. If you have troubles with the Hibernate part, please elaborate.
