Here is Managed Bean Code:

@ManagedBean @RequestScoped public class ProductController implements Serializable{ private ProductBean bean; @ManagedProperty(value = "#{ProductService}") private ProductService productService; private StreamedContent content; private UploadedFile file; public StreamedContent getContent() { FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); if (context.getCurrentPhaseId() == PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE) { return new DefaultStreamedContent(); } else{ String imageId = context.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("id"); Product product = getProductService().getProductById(Integer.parseInt(imageId)); return new DefaultStreamedContent(new ByteArrayInputStream(product.getProductImage())); } } public ProductController() { bean = new ProductBean(); } public void setContent(StreamedContent content) { this.content = content; } public UploadedFile getFile() { return file; } public void setFile(UploadedFile file) { this.file = file; } public void saveProduct(){ try{ Product product = new Product(); product.setProductImage(getFile().getContents()); getProductService().saveProduct(product); file = null; } catch(Exception ex){ ex.printStackTrace(); } } public void validateFile(FacesContext ctx, UIComponent comp, Object value) { List<FacesMessage> msgs = new ArrayList<FacesMessage>(); UploadedFile file = (UploadedFile)value; int fileByte = file.getContents().length; if(fileByte > 15360){ msgs.add(new FacesMessage("Too big must be at most 15KB")); } if (!(file.getContentType().startsWith("image"))) { msgs.add(new FacesMessage("not an Image file")); } if (!msgs.isEmpty()) { throw new ValidatorException(msgs); } } }
