If you want to create your own datastore like that, fine, but you also have to handle scaling, redundancy, security, etc on your own. Most people won't want to do all that when they can use an existing abstraction.<br>

<p dir="ltr">Accessing the blobs via http or ftp when they are stored as files has been the best solution so far. As far as creating the blobs in the first place, it is doable but depends largely on the nature of the blob. Why assume the web app would be written in Java? There are several other languages that would be able to handle it. Each with their strengths and weaknesses. </p>
