Hi all,

I want to create a service where people can upload their images and
later on access them. I'm using Hibernate for the meta data such as
image title, comments and relationships with other Domain-Entities in
my system, but I have absolutely no clue about how to best store the
images. Storing them in the database would obviously be a complete
overkill, while storing them directly on the disk does have some
drawbacks as I wanted to serve the images along with the other static
content from a different host for caching and speed reasons.
Any idea on how to do this? Maybe a Content Repository like JackRabbit
would be fit for the job?

Regards,
Chris

If you have some database power and the pictures are not totally
huge, then I will recommend the database solution. Much easier
to manage.

Yeah, there is absolutely nothing "obvious" about a database being "overkill".
