Rails - Mar 2008 - displaying pics

hey, I try to display pics (jpg) from my db but all I get is the
"white box".
The pic and all of its att look fine in the db.

It goes something like this:

in show.rhtml:
<%= image_tag(url_for(:controller =>
''upload_controller'', :action =>
"getpicture", :id => @picture.id)) %>

in upload.controller.rb:
  def getpicture
    @picture = Picture.find(params[:id])
    send_data(@picture.data,
                    :filename => @picture.name,
                    :type => @picture.content_type,
                    :disposition => "inline" )
  end

somebody has any idea ?
thnx.

There is a alternate way to do this..
i once did in that way..

I stored the images under the public folder and saved the path in the db 
or can do like this,

While accessing u can do like
 <%= link_to image_tag("#{video.path_to_thumbnail_image}"), 
video_path(video) %>
where path_to_thumbnail_image is a method to display the path of the 
thumbnail created from the video.

All the best.
