[Seaside] Using image tags in Seaside

[Andreas Nilsson]

As my images belongs to a busniess object, they are stored in the 
database along with the data.
I was planning on saving them to temporary files when requested, but 
your second example sounds even better.
What i'm saving in the database is basically 'file contents' from the 
image file, can i send that data directly to #imageWithForm?
