Question

Hi,
I am trying to use Oracle Outside In Technology Image Export for conversion of images. I am trying to run the example ExportTest that comes with the downloaded SDK.
I get the below error while running the ExportTest example.

Hi Revanth,
I am using Image Export 8.3.7 and I am trying to run the java class "ExportTest" that is in the location sdk\samplecode\ExJava\Examples\ExportTest\src of the download.
My input folder has one jpg - puzzle.jpg (this is just a simple jpg), I am trying to convert it to TIFF. ExportTest.java uses the classes in Export.jar . Export.jar is located in the sdk\samplecode\ExJava\Examples\ExportTest . You can see source files of the Export.jar at location sdk\samplecode\ExJava\Java API\src of the download. I am running the 'ExportTest' by providing the arguments (input folder, output folder and ix.cfg - this file comes with the download). So now when I run this class I was getting the error I mentioned in this post. Inorder to find more details about the error I modified the 'Export.java' (at sdk\samplecode\ExJava\Java API\src\com\outsideinsdk) just to printStackTrace when the exception occurs and rebuilt the 'Export.jar' and ran the 'ExportTest.java'.
And below is the stack trace that I got :
