如何使用Hibernate将上传的图像保存到MySQL数据库？我是否需要将此图像转换为字节数组，或者是否有其他方法可以做到这一点？

try {
    // parses the request's content to extract file data
    List formItems = upload.parseRequest(request);
    Iterator iter = formItems.iterator();

    // iterates over form's fields
    while (iter.hasNext()) {
        FileItem item = (FileItem) iter.next();
        // processes only fields that are not form fields
        if (!item.isFormField()) {
            String fileName = new File(item.getName()).getName();
            String filePath = uploadPath + File.separator + fileName;
            File storeFile = new File(filePath);

            System.out.println("Image file name is :" + fileName);

            // saves the file on disk
            item.write(storeFile);

        }
    }
}
