final String dbURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/portfolio";
    final String dbUser = "root";
    final String dbPass = "";

    Connection conn = null;
    Statement stmt = null;

    try {
        //DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.mysql.jdbc.Driver());
        Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

        conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL, dbUser, dbPass);
        System.out.println("db connected");
        stmt = (Statement) conn.createStatement();

        ResultSet rs1;
        rs1 = stmt.executeQuery("select profileImage from tbl_welcome where id = 1117");

        if (rs1.next()) {
            byte[] imgData = rs1.getBytes("profileImage");//Here....... r1.getBytes() extract byte data from resultSet 
            System.out.println(imgData);
            response.setHeader("expires", "0");
            response.setContentType("image/jpg");

            OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream(); // output with the help of outputStream 
            os.write(imgData);
            os.flush();
            os.close();

        }
    } catch (SQLException ex) {
        // String message = "ERROR: " + ex.getMessage();
        ex.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        if (conn != null) {
            // closes the database connection
            try {
                conn.close();
            } catch (SQLException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
