display a photo on jsp file using a url

Question

I'm trying to display a photo on my jsp file. a photo that is inside my images photos works fine but when i'm trying to retrieve a photo using a url from the internet it doesnt work. my url is a link of a database domain.I'm saving my photos using blobstore in that domain and retrieve them later. I know the link works fine because when I use it in my explorer I receive the photo I uploded so what could be wrong? or is there a better way to display photos on a jsp file using blobStore ? I'v search the web for something similar but all the solutions are for photos save in the program or not displaying on jsp.

my code in the jsp file is :

          <%String blob=request.getParameter("blob");
           BlobKey blobKey = new BlobKey(blob);
           ImagesService services = ImagesServiceFactory.getImagesService();
           ServingUrlOptions serve = ServingUrlOptions.Builder.withBlobKey(blobKey);    
           String url = services.getServingUrl(serve);
           %>
           <center><img src="url" alt='photo'/></center>

I've tried printing the url I received to make sure it is the right path and it works fine when I put it in my explorer so what could be the problem ? thanks for your help

Syntax error.You cannot access variable like that. Have you tried the following?

<img src="<%= url %>" />
