How to Display an Image in swing

I Want to display an image in swing using the scrollPane, so I can scroll an image in a box

A very simple way is to use a JLabel :
JLabel label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("myImage.jpg"));
JScrollPane scroller = new JScrollPane(label);

Java Swing, Displaying Images in Labels

Im rather new to java programming. Im finding it difficult to display images, as they never seem to appear when they should. When I downloaded the examples in the java tutorial (but not the picture files), changed the picture files to picture files I have in my computer, it also didn't display any pictures. My guess is that this is something to do with what the java tutorial said:
"Generally, applications provide their own set of images used as part of the application, as is the case with the images used by many of our demos", and says that the createImageIcon() method should only be used when the images are part of the application. Could anyone explain to me how to make the set of images part of the application?
When I tried using the new ImageIcon("") method also no picture appeared. Could anyone explain this to me as well?
Sorry for bothering you all with such a probably trivial matter. Thank you :)

It should, as far as I understand what you are describing. You have the bin directory, where you type "java <classname>" to start your app, and if the images are in that directory, all you should need is the filename. But generally, the image filename you use should be an absolute file path, or a path relative to the directory the application starts in.
There are other ways, however, which might be more useful for applications, notably loaded as resource...
new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("xyz.gif"));
Where xyz.gif is in an directory or Jar file in the classpath.

Open and display image in MVC layout

Hello!
I cant figure out how I shall do this in an MVC layout:
The program request user to open an image file that are then displayed in a JLabel
My setup at the moment resolve in a nullpointerexeption because it dont get any actual image file, but I dont understand what I have missed.
I can not post the whole code fo you to run because it is to big, so I post the part that are the most important. please have a look.

Help with displaying images (gif, jpeg...) within a JFrame (or similar)

Hi all,
i'm new to the forum and i'll be granted if you kind gentlemen/women could use some advices for my gui home application.
My purpose is to display a static image in a container (i'd prefer to use javax.swing objects, but if you think that java.awt is more suitable for my app, please feel free to tell me about...). I used a modified code from one of the Java Tutorial's examples, tht actually is an applet and displays images as it is using the paint() method. I just can't realize how to set the GraphicContext in a JFrame or a JPanel to contain the image to display, without using applets. Following part of the code I use (a JButton will fire JApplet start, JApplet is another class file called Apple.java):
class DMToolz extends JFrame {
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

By the way you should never override the paint() method. Custom painting (not required in this case) is done by overriding the paintComponent(...) method in Swing. Overriding paint() is an old AWT trick.

so much wrong with this post...
a) use the code tags to format the code. Now it is an unreadable mess
b) scriptlets in your JSP. I don't even want to look at that mess. Learn how to combine servlets and JSPs to create clean, readable and maintainable code in which view logic and business logic are separated. The rule: no java code in your JSP, only tags and EL expressions (learn about JSTL).
So you get a blank screen. When you do "view source" in your browser, do you see anything there? If nothing, check if you are behind a proxy server. The solution to a post of not too long ago was that the blank screen was being caused by faulty proxy server settings (the user figured it out himself, I don't know what was done to solve it).
If all this fails you will have to do some debugging magic using your favorite IDE. It will probably be something stupid you are overlooking in the code. It is annoying, but debugging code that does not work is a big part of your job. Better get good at it.

Displaying Images in EBS

Hi,
Does anybody know if it is possible to use the URL link against an invoice to display an image via UNC path (Oracle 11i)?
I know it's possible to do this using a URL link through to a browser application but wondering if it's possible to just use the network file path so that the image opens in the native appication on the users machine (windows image viewer, abode etc.)
Would this be the same method for dispaying images in iExpense too?
Regards
David

looking for any nice suggestion
public class MainFrame extends JFrame
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage("c:\\form-3.jpg");
javax.swing.JScrollBar jScrollBar1 = new JScrollBar();
BorderLayout borderLayout1 = new BorderLayout();
JPanel jPanel1 = new JPanel();
JPanel jPanel2 = new JPanel();
JButton jButton1 = new JButton();
JButton jButton2 = new JButton();
public MainFrame()

MainFrame mainFrame = new MainFrame();
jBInit Method defined here
public void paint(Graphics g)
g.drawImage(image,0,0,jPanel1);

You have overided the paint method on JFrame then you are drowing on entire Frame.
Instead you have to override the paintComponent method of a JPanel class or use a JLabel with the image

Displaying images from url connection

I'm working on an application that extracts information from html content (textual, colors, images...) and evaluates rates of emotion and personality.
I need to access and display images contained in a web page.
How can I add an image to a pane and display it knowing its url,
for example I want to display image.jpg knowing http://www.website.com/image.jpg

The ImageIcon class in javax.swing can accept a URL in the constructor:
public ImageIcon(URL location)
