Grails: Displaying image stored in the database on gsp

Here is a Grails implementation of displaying image stored in the database (as byte[]) on gsp.

Notes: 

• I have spring security core plugin configured
• The image tag calls the controller's method directly and it uses the apps url and app.name from Config.groovy and application.properties

 FILE: Domain class - SecUser  

 class SecUser extends User {  
      String firstName  
      String middleName  
      String lastName  
     byte [] userPhoto  
      Date dateCreated  
      Date lastUpdated  
      static constraints = {  
       firstName blank: false  
       middleName blank: false  
       lastName blank: false  
       userPhoto nullable: true, maxSize:1024000  
      }  
     String toString() {  
       if(firstName && middleName && lastName){  
         return "${firstName} ${middleName} ${lastName}"  
       } else {  
         return username  
       }  
   }  
 }

 FILE: MyController 

 
      class DashboardController {  
           def springSecurityService  
           def index() {  
                render(view: 'index')  
           }  
           def displayAvatarForCurrentUser() {  
                User user = springSecurityService.getCurrentUser()  
                SartUser sartUser = SartUser.findByUsername(user.username)  
                response.outputStream << sartUser.userPhoto // write the photo to the outputstream  
                response.outputStream.flush()  
           }  
      }
