Accesing image files in java beans

hi all
I am developing an application which needs to access images files put in image folder in java bean file.
I tried a lot by using different methods and failed always, except in case of absolute path which I dont want to use.
My directory structure is as below
/Web-apps
/MyApp
index.html
myjsp.jsp
/Images
img1.png
/WEB-INF
/classes
/beans
GraphBean.java
In GraphBean.java I have the code
ImageIcon imageIcon = null;
imageIcon = new ImageIcon("../image/img1.PNG");Cureently the path is worng and the image cant be displayed.
I want to know what path I should give to get the image img1.png.
Thanks in advance

The disk file system knows nothing about the application which is asking for the file. You should always use absolute file system paths. In this case you can use ServletContext#getRealPath() to convert a relative web URL to an absolute filesystem path. Then use this in ImageIcon.

How to convert csv files into java bean objects?

Hi,
I have a CSV file, I want to store the data availabale in that csv file into java bean, I am new to this csv files how can I convert CSV files into java beans.
Please help me.
Adavanced Thanks,
Mahendra

You can use the java.io API to read (and write) files. Use BufferedReader to read the CSV file line by line. Use String#split() to split each line into an array of parts which were separated by comma (or semicolon). If necessary run some escaping of quotes. Finally collect all parts in a two-dimensional List of Strings or a List of Javabeans.

Insert Image file from java to ms access database

Are there any ways to insert image file or any files into microsoft access database and retrieve the file from the database. Guild will be helpful.Thank you.
regards
Singaravelan

The right answer? Don't do it. You should not be putting images in any database.
Better to write the image to the server's file system and add the path/link to the database instead.

Opening image files in java applet

Hi,
I made an applet that opens up the image file and displays it.
When the photo is loaded, the program sets boolean photoLoaded = true;
and when the image is loaded, it has to do something else.
the problem is that I have to open the file twice meaning I would click
"open" button and select the photo, which doesn't do anything, so I have to go back
and click open button, select the photo, and open up again.
When I changed the code slightly so that it shows the first time, photoLoaded is still false the first time,
so I still have to open it up twice for photoLoaded to be true.
methods for opening an image file:
    private void loadPhoto() throws Exception{
        Frame parent = new Frame();
        FileDialog fd = new FileDialog(parent, "Please choose a image file:",
            FileDialog.LOAD);
        fd.show();
        String selectedImage = fd.getFile();
        if(selectedImage == null){
            // no image file selected
        }else{
            File ffile = new File(fd.getDirectory() + File.separator +
                                fd.getFile());
            boolean canOpen = accept(ffile);
            if(canOpen){
                imageLoaded = kit.getImage(selectedImage);
                width = imageLoaded.getWidth(ob);
                height = imageLoaded.getHeight(ob);
                /*get image*/
                imageLoaded = getImage(getCodeBase(), selectedImage);
                tracker.addImage(imageLoaded, 0);
                /* wait until image is loaded */
                try{
                    tracker.waitForAll();
                    photoLoaded = true;
                }catch(InterruptedException ex) {
                    //does nothing
                repaint();
    public boolean accept(File f){
        if(f.isDirectory()){
            return true;
        String extension = Utils.getExtension(f);
        if(extension !=null){
            if(extension.equals(Utils.gif) ||
               extension.equals(Utils.jpeg) ||
               extension.equals(Utils.jpg)){
                   return true;
            } else{
                return false;
        return false;
    public static class Utils{
        public final static String jpeg = "jpeg";
        public final static String jpg = "jpg";
        public final static String gif = "gif";
        /* get the extension of a file */
        public static String getExtension(File f){
            String ext = null;
            String s = f.getName();
            int i = s.lastIndexOf('.');
            if(i>0 && i<s.length()-1){
                ext = s.substring(i+1).toLowerCase();
            return ext;
    }and the paint method:
    public void paint(Graphics g)
        g.drawImage(background, 0, 0, this);
        if(photoLoaded == true){
            g.drawImage(imageLoaded, startingPtX, startingPtY, ob);
    }does anybody have idea on what's wrong with it?
thanks!

Is this what you mean by you have to load it twice? You load the image, then add it to the MediaTracker, then you do what ever you want with it--like get the width and height and set you flags.
   imageLoaded = kit.getImage(selectedImage);
   width = imageLoaded.getWidth(ob);
   height = imageLoaded.getHeight(ob);
   /*get image*/
   imageLoaded = getImage(getCodeBase(), selectedImage);
   tracker.addImage(imageLoaded, 0);

File Upload Pluggable Java Component / Java Bean

Dear Colleague,
I integrated the File Upload java bean into one of my Forms 9i forms. I also had it up and running (!!!), but after I rebooted the machine, I no longer receive the File Upload dialog window as I did originally. When I press the button which starts the File Upload, it never displays the window to select a file. My trigger is as follows:
begin
     /* Initialize the Java Bean */
     FileUploader.init('DOCU_BLOCK.FILE_UPLOADER','LOAD_CALLBACK_TRIGGER');
     /* Make sure the file is compressed on upload */
     FileUploader.setCompressed(true);
     /* Do the load to the c:\rolic\RKMS_documents\ directory on the server */
     FileUploader.UploadFile (:PARAMETER.file_destination);
/* Error Handling */
exception
when FileUploader.FileUploaderEx then
message (FileUploader.GetError);
end;
I have the "uploadclient.jar" file in my folder: C:\oracle9iDS\forms90\java
I list the "uploadclient.jar" file in the forms config file, formsweb.cfg as follows:
archive_jini=f90all_jinit.jar, uploadclient.jar, RKMS_images.jar
and I reference the uploadserver.jar in the default.env file as part of the CLASSPATH as follows:
CLASSPATH=c:\oracle9iDS\jlib\debugger.jar;c:\oracle9iDS\jlib\ewt3.jar;c:\oracle9iDS\jlib\share.jar;c:\oracle9iDS\jlib\utj90.jar;C:\oracle9iDS\forms90\java\UploadServer.jar
=========================================================
- Why did this work before I rebooted and now no longer???
- Any tips? Ideas?
=========================================================
The uploadclient.jar file also successfully loads as shown in the Java Console:

HI,
I'm facing nearly same problem.
When i press a button in my form to enable client to select image from there local computer, following code executes ( WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED)
declare
     exSetup EXCEPTION;
     hButton ITEM := Find_Item('UPLOAD.SELECT');
begin
if (:upload.output_dir is null) then
MsgBox.Show(MsgBox.STOP_ALERT,FileUploader90,'Error: A output directory on the middle tier must be specified');
raise exSetup;
end if;
FileUploader.UploadFile(:UPLOAD.output_dir);
/* (:UPLOAD is a control block and output directory is a text field char 1000 having initial property = D:\IMAGE) */
exception
When FileUploader.FileUploaderEx then
     MsgBox.Show(MsgBox.STOP_ALERT,FileUploader90,'Error During Upload: '||FileUploader.getError);
When exSetup then
null;
end;
There is no compiliation error.
Runtime error is " Error During Upload: Desitnation directory does not exists or is not writeable ".
Infact destination directory D:\IMAGE exists and is readable/writable to any one ??
Any Help possible

Java server page compiler can not find a class defined in a java bean file

I have a jsp file using java bean. The java bean class file is uploaded into the server and also the directory to this java bean .class file is included in the Unix environment CLASSPATH. This .jsp file is registered and should be compiled and excecuted automatically.
WHen I try to invoke this .jsp file, the jsp compiler error, saying the class defined by java bean can not be found. I already include this path in teh CLASSPATH, I thought the jsp compiler will go to the right place according to CLASSPATH to find the referenced class.
Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong or what should I do in order to allow jsp compiler to find the class refrenced by .jsp file and defined by java bean file?
Thank you so much

hello friends,
i am also facing the same problem of not finding bean class files for both jsp and servlet though it is placed in same package. the problem of not finding bean class file for jsp is experienced in Tomcat server only whereas in Blazix, there is no such error and the file is compiled and runs successfully.
i have checked Tomcat properly. there is no error in its configuration also servlets without the use of bean files run successfully. so please can anybody guide me about what is the problem and how to solve it. plz its urgent .

Using java beans in jsp using tomcat

hi i have made a form to enter user first name and last anme with html and then i have made a value javabean in which i want to store the information filled bu user. i want to display the information stored in java bean in jsp page i have made the full application and i have made class file of java bean as well as jsp file but when i try to run this web application in tomcat i am getting class not found exception.
could anybody tell me that where i should store the bean class in tomcat and do i need to make any package in which i have to place my java bean file plz tell me complete procedure along with code if possible

whew thats a lot of questions... All of this is pretty basic stuff. I would recommend you take a look at the web services tutorial: http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/
lets see.
Starting a package name with com is just a generic standard which is followed.
It is most correct when creating commercial packages to create packages like com.companyName.project
http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConventions.doc8.html
You should not need a page import directive unless you are using classes in scriptlets: ie <% %> tags in your JSP. Your jsp:useBean tag will automatically import necessary classes - you don't need to import classes for beans specifically
<jsp:useBean id="myClass" scope="session" class="com.myPackage" />
Your directory structure should be something like this
webApplicationRootDirectory
- page1.html
- page2.html
- page3.jsp
- page4.jsp
- WEB-INF
     - web.xml
     - classes
       - com
         - myPackage
           - myClass.classerrrm. Thats about it I think.

Save image file in server machine from client

hai
I am working in swing based applications on linux environment.
I can able to save the image file from java appln to local directories.
My doubt is
how to save that image file in another machine in the same network or in the server machine through java application insead of saving in the local machine.
if anyone can help me to findout the solution?
advance thanks,
Samy.

The file can be read in the weblayer if it is sent as a mutlipart request. So once u have it i the Webserver u can always send it to the app server by posting it in a location which the app server can read using URL api

"embed" image data into java code

I have a mind that is it possible embed image file into java code?
That mean an image file information already store in java code, thus no need using the image file in run-time. Then can prevent user change other image file instead.
Do anyone try before, are there technologies required?
I just want to know is it possible or not....thanks.

technologies? The solution you are asking for is all about storing your data in static variables such as byte[][] used to build your image instance. I guess you should have a look at the different constructors of BufferedImage.
