How i can save icon in blob?

Well, every time I've used an icon, I've only really been interested in the image it contained, so I would store that in the database.

If you read it off disk somewhere, or from another stream, then you can syphon off a copy of that stream into a byte[], and store that in the db using ByteArrayOutputStream. This is good for efficiency in some cases.

Alternatively, if you only have and instance of Image, then you might try getting a binary input stream to the database, then writing it in png format, since it is lossless, using ImageIO.write( stream, "png" ) or something like that (can't remember exactly !)

so yeah.

Thats my suggestions :P
