Save Image to MySql from Image URL (Spring JPA Hibernate)

Question

I am working Spring JPA Hibernate project and want to save images to Mysql database from Image Url. I am passing Orders DTO data with Image URL taken from Rest Service. How to save Image urls as Images to Database. I think we have to get the image from Url first. Please solve this problem.

OrderDO.java

@Table(name = "ORDER")
public class OrderDO  implements Serializable{

    @Column(name = "ORDER_NUMBER", nullable = false)
    private String orderNumber; 

    @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy="order")
    private Set<OrderItemDO> items = new HashSet<>();
}

OrderItemDO.java

@Table(name = "ORDER_ITEM")
public class OrderItemDO implements Serializable{   

    @Column(name = "PRODUCT_NAME",nullable = false)
    private String name;

    @Lob
    @Column(name = "IMAGE")
    private byte[] image;

    @ManyToOne(cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
    @JoinColumn(name="ORDER_ID", referencedColumnName="ID")
    private OrderDO order;
}

OrderRepository.java

@Repository
public interface OrderRepository extends CrudRepository<OrderDO, Long>{

    public Page<OrderDO> findAll(Pageable pageable);    

}

OrderServiceImpl.java

public class OrderServiceImpl {

    @Autowired
    private ModelMapper modelMapper;

    @Autowired
    private OrderRepository orderRepository;

    private OrderDO map(Order dto) {
        OrderDO orderDO =  modelMapper.map(dto, OrderDO.class);

        Set<OrderItemDO> itemsDO = new HashSet<>();
        for(OrderItem item : dto.getItems()) {
            OrderItemDO itemDO = map(item);
            itemDO.setOrder(orderDO);
            itemsDO.add(itemDO);
        }
        orderDO.setItems(itemsDO);      
        return orderDO; 
    }

    public OrderItemDO map(OrderItem dto) {
        OrderItemDO itemDO = modelMapper.map(dto, OrderItemDO.class);
        return itemDO;
    }

    public Order SaveOrder(Order dto) {
        OrderDO entity = this.map(dto);
        entity = orderRepository.save(entity);
        return this.map(entity);
    }

Use a HTTP client to download the images then save them to database — , Nov 01 '18 at 07:53
System.setProperty("java.net.useSystemProxies", "true"); byte[] imageBytes = IOUtils.toByteArray(new URL("https://www.example.com/order/images/image001.jpg" ).openStream()); — Miller Cy Chan, Nov 01 '18 at 08:30

You can convert image url into data byte[] image in Rest Service before save it.

public static byte[] convertImageByte(URL url) throws IOException {

        ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        InputStream is = null;
        try {
            is = url.openStream ();
            byte[] byteChunk = new byte[4096]; // Or whatever size you want to read in at a time.
            int n;

            while ( (n = is.read(byteChunk)) > 0 ) {
                baos.write(byteChunk, 0, n);
            }
            return byteChunk;
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
            System.err.printf ("Failed while reading bytes from %s: %s", url.toExternalForm(), e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace ();
            // Perform any other exception handling that's appropriate.
        }
        finally {
            if (is != null) { is.close(); }
        }
        return null;
    }

Ok Problem solved. The code to convert Image Url to Byte Array is below. Please refer here for more answers in this problem

public static byte[] convertImageByte(URL url) throws IOException {
    ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    InputStream is = null;
    try {
        is = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
        byte[] byteChunk = new byte[4096];
        int n;
        while ( (n = is.read(byteChunk)) > 0 ) {
            baos.write(byteChunk, 0, n);
        }   
        return baos.toByteArray();
    }
    catch (IOException e) {e.printStackTrace ();}
    finally {
        if (is != null) { is.close(); }
    }
    return null;
}

When Saving Dto to Database

if(dto.getImageUrl() != null) {             
    try {
    URL imageUrl = new URL(dto.getImageUrl());
    itemDO.setImage(convertImageByte(imageUrl));
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    entity = orderItemRepository.save(itemDO);

Get Image From Database

public byte[] getImageForOrderItem(long itemId) {
    Optional<OrderItemDO> option = orderItemRepository.findById(itemId);
    if(option.isPresent()) {
        OrderItemDO itemDO = option.get();
        if(itemDO.getImage() != null) {
            byte[] image = itemDO.getImage();
            return image;
        }
    }
    return null;
}

Calling Image Response through Rest API

@GetMapping(path="/orderItem/image/{itemId}")
@ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
public void getImageForOrderItem(@PathVariable("itemId") long itemId, HttpServletResponse response) { 
    byte[] buffer = orderServiceImpl.getImageForOrderItem(itemId);
    if (buffer != null) {
        response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
        try {
            response.getOutputStream().write(buffer);
            response.getOutputStream().flush();
            response.getOutputStream().close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    } 
}
