Java Development Tools

I have a table in my database that contains Tiff images stored in blobs. I am trying to display these within an ADF web application. I'm running 12.1.2. It looks like the only way i can do this is by converting the tiff images to jpgs.

If i print out  ImageIO.getReaderFormatNames() i dont show a tiff reader. Which makes sense that i'm getting an error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: image == null!

From what i understand i need a java advance imaging (JAI) plugin for tiff files. I have tried including a jai jar but with no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

1. private void getImageFromDB2(HttpServletRequest request, OutputStream os){
2.     Connection conn = null;
3.     String id = request.getParameter("id");
4.     try {
5.         //make connection to DB
6.         Context ctx = new InitialContext();
7.         DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/****");
8.         conn = ds.getConnection();
9.         
10.         PreparedStatement statement =
11.             conn.prepareStatement("SELECT image " + "FROM images " + "WHERE PIC_ID = ?");
12.         statement.setLong(1, new Long(id));
13.         ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery();
14.         if (rs.next()) {
15.             Blob blob = rs.getBlob("image");
16.             ImageIO.write(ImageIO.read(blob.getBinaryStream()), "jpg", os);
17.             os.close();
18.         }
19.     } catch (Exception e) {
20.         System.out.println(e);
21.     } finally {
22.         try {
23.             if (conn != null) {
24.                 conn.close();
25.             }
26.         } catch (SQLException sqle) {
27.             System.out.println("SQLException error");
28.         }
29.     }
30. }
