jpg file to blob in MySQL - JDBC JAVA

I find your problem quite interesting.
Although I don't know what is the problem and it needs time to prepare
for running your code I will try to give you some hints which you could
use to find solution by yourslelf. I hope it will help.

check after this code could you reconstruct the image properly from
bytes. Then you will know is problem in blog or in image manipulation.

I assume you should use getByte() method on the result set.
I don't have the clue what is in v2, how did you convert ResultSet to
ArrayList.

You did explicit conversion of "some type of object" to byte[]... Are
you sure your source object was byte[]. Probably it was otherwise you
might get ClassCastException but it might be an good idea to do
something like:

System.out.println(vs.get(colinrow).getClass().getName());

You have
1) problem with dealing with blobs
OR
2) problem with dealing with pictures.
You should perform some things I have suggested to find out where is
your problem.

In case you found the solution post it here, in case you haven't find it
provide some more details.

Is the actual content of this byte[] the same as the image file? I.e.:
- was the file read fully?
- saving this byte[] back to a FileOutputStream with different name
gives a correct image?
- use this byte in your next code (the one to display the image from the
blob) and see if it works

Another option would be to convert the initial byte[] (from the
inputstream) to a non-binary array (base64 or hexa values) and save it
to the blog. Then when reading it back, converting to the original
format. But this solution needs processing time and takes more space in
the DB.
