web services - Send base64 string as image to the client -

i managed save image base64 encoded string in database, wondering how tu serve base64 string in way interpreted image on client side.

i made ws returns string :

return ok(mybase64string).as("image/jpeg")

but image cannot displayed in browser.

if decode string , send byte array image displayed, dont understand why have decode encoded image in order display in client??

byte [] test = base64.decodebase64(event.getphoto()); homecoming ok(test).as("image/jpeg");

this works why have decode base of operations 64 string??

anyone have idea? thanks!!

if want utilize base64, need utilize data uri scheme:

<img src="data:image/png;<base64>" />

otherwise have pass in path binary representation. that's assets controller does, serving file binary.
