unable to retrieve image from mysql through rest api using java

My problem is deceptively simple but I am unable to find the answer. Through Java and JDBI, I am able to retrieve the image from MySQL database and store it locally. But when I try with a rest api, it is giving the error in the attached screenshot. I have searched for this quite a bit but am unable to find a solution.

The stack trace is as below:

 Type Exception Report
    Message java.lang.IllegalStateException: No container builder available for java.sql.Blob

    Description The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.

    Exception

Adding the rest api and the listAllBooks method below :

@GET
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public final Books[] listAllBooks() {
    Books b = new Books();
    Books[] shelf = b.listAllBooks();
    return shelf;
}



public final Books[] listAllBooks() {
    Books[] bList = BooksFactory.listAllBooks();

    for(Books b: bList) {
      String path = "E:\" + b.getBookId() + ".png";
      Blob imageBlob = BooksFactory.retrieveImage(b.getBookId());

      try {
        byte[] image = handleBlob(imageBlob);
        
        if (image != null) {
          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(path);
          fos.write(image);
          fos.close();

          b.setImageUrl(path);
        } else {
          System.out.println("Image not available");
          b.setImageUrl(null);
        }
      } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
      } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
      int avail = BooksFactory.retrieveAvailableCopies(b.getBookId());
      b.setAvailableCopies(avail);
    }
    return bList;
  }

The DAO and Factory methods return a Blob and I have a mapper for getting the blob from the DB.

Please guide as to how to solve this.

Answer

I finally found the solution to my issue. I added the below code to the dbi object.

dbi.registerContainerFactory(new ContainerFactory<Blob>(){

        @Override
        public boolean accepts(Class<?> arg0) {
          return false;
        }

        @Override
        public ContainerBuilder<Blob> newContainerBuilderFor(Class<?> arg0) {
          return newContainerBuilderFor(arg0);
        }
        
      });

I followed the this link for the solution.
