Convert BufferedInputStream into image [duplicate]

Start by verifying that uploadedInputStream is a valid image, prehaps by writing it out using ImageIO.write. You can always use ImageIO.read to read the image back in and write it back out to a ByteArrayInputStream 😉

I did a quick test using H2 database.

A few things I noted. Blob#length returns a long, while Blob#getBytes expects an int, this could mean you’re truncating the byte stream.

Also, from the documentation of H2, it would seem that the Blob contents is not kept in memory, so I use the getBinaryStream instead.
