I am taking an example to upload and render the image in this blog, though the code would be same for any other file.<\/p>\n<p>So\u00a0Lets consider I have a domain class with the name Person<\/p>\n<pre lang=\"groovy\">\r\nclass Person {\r\n    .\r\n    .\r\n    .\r\n    bytes[] picture\r\n    static constraints = {\r\n        picture(size:0..5000000)  \/\/ to store files upto 5MB approx\r\n    }\r\n}<\/pre>\n<p>Once we have a field with a byte[] defined in the class then automatically its view is generated with a input tag of file type in html, which returns the MultipartFile object in the controller. MultipartFile provides various useful methods which can be used getBytes(), getSize(), getContentType(), getName() etc.<\/p>\n<p>So as MultipartFile object returs the byte[] which is to be stored in a picture property of a person class, in the save action of the PersonController Lets see how we do it :<\/p>\n<pre lang=\"groovy\">\r\nperson.picture = params.picture\r\nor\r\nperson.properties = params\r\n\r\n\/\/Now the person object holds the image and lets save it\r\n\r\nperson.save()<\/pre>\n<p>We are done with file uploading. Now to render the image\/file, lets have a separate controller in a controller directory, where we would define the action to generate the image:<\/p>\n<pre lang=\"groovy\">\r\nclass ImageController {  def defaultAction ='show'\r\n\r\ndef show= {\r\n  \u00a0 \/\/loads the class with a name and assigns obj a new instance created of the same object\r\n    def obj = Class.forName(\"${params.classname}\",true,Thread.currentThread().contextClassLoader).newInstance();\r\n\u00a0   def object = obj.get( params.id )\r\n    response.setContentType(params.mime)\r\n\u00a0   byte[] image = object.\"${params.fieldName}\"\r\n\u00a0   response.outputStream << image\r\n\u00a0 }\r\n}<\/pre>\n<p>Now where ever we want to display the image, we can just include the following tag:<\/p>\n<pre lang=\"groovy\">\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>Note : The above code can be dangerous as a hacker can modify the className and feildName in the query string and get the hidden information.<br \/>\nHope this helped.<\/p>\n<p>~Amit Jain~<\/p>\n<p>amit@intelligrape.com<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tothenewco.pro\/blog\/\" onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(&#039;\/outbound\/article\/www.IntelliGrape.com&#039;);\">http:\/\/www.IntelliGrape.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lets discuss how can we upload a file and store it in a database, along with that how do we render it on the gsp page.
