Answer 1

you can't return an image in a JSON object. JSON is not meant for binary data. your web service should return JSON containing a field that is a reference to the image, a URL. then the code that consumes the web service must get the URL from the JSON and fetch the image from the URL.

{ imageUrl: "http://foo.com/image.png" }

it's hard to say exactly what you are doing without more information. you also might want to re-tag this as jersey or resteasy, not android. i think the code you posted is a jersey resource, looking at the annotations.

Answer 2

使用BSON在其余Web服务中发送图像。
