title: Spring SOAP Web service - Displaying images from DB/path
body: <p>From my understanding of SOAP, it's all about request and and response and it always outputs the response in a cryptic format (XML).</p>
  
  <p>However, a fellow student told me to create a SOAP Service that displays images from a DB (or a folder with images) - just like we know from Tumblr/Pinterest/etc.</p>
  
  <p>I just don't understand how that's possible - if at all? </p>
