Image over sockets
Hello,
What I'm basically trying to do is to send an Image among strings over sockets.
I have a serializable object and I'm sending back and forth. In this object I have an ImageIcon but when I try to send it to the client I'm getting the following error on the server-side:
failed to load image contents
java.io.IOException: failed to load image contents

ObjectOutputStream out=new ObjectOutputStream(incoming.getOutputStream()); any ideas on how to fix this??
Thanks

Exception says "java.io.IOException: failed to load image contents"
most probably you are trying to send an image which has had an eror when loading the image.
See the image load status of the image icon.

Send email with html and images over Sockets
Hi! I'm sending email messages through sockets with html. So far is working great. But now, I need to include images in the html code, like a web page. I don't have any idea on how to do this. Sending image apart from the html code is not big deal, but how to put it in the code. I mean how to make this html code, work:
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td>Image in code</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<img src="what to put here"/>
</tr>
</table>This is the code that I'm using to send the html mail:
StringBuffer retBuff = new StringBuffer();
//BufferedReader msg;
//msg = new BufferedReader(msgFileReader);
smtpPipe = new Socket(mailHost, SMTP_PORT);
smtpPipe.setSoTimeout(120000);
if (smtpPipe == null) {
return retBuff;
inn = smtpPipe.getInputStream();
outt = smtpPipe.getOutputStream();
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inn));
out = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(outt), true);
if (inn == null || outt == null) {
retBuff.append("Failed to open streams to socket.");
return retBuff;
String initialID = in.readLine();
retBuff.append(initialID);
retBuff.append("HELO " + localhost.getHostName());
out.println("HELO " + localhost.getHostName());
String welcome = in.readLine();
retBuff.append(welcome);
retBuff.append("MAIL From:<" + from + ">");
out.println("MAIL From:<" + from + ">");
String senderOK = in.readLine();
retBuff.append(senderOK);
for (int i = 0; i < to.length; i++) {
retBuff.append("RCPT TO:<" + to[i] + ">");
out.println("RCPT TO:<" + to[i] + ">");
String recipientOK = in.readLine();
retBuff.append(recipientOK);
retBuff.append("DATA");
out.println("DATA");
out.println("From: Steren <" + from + ">");
out.println("Subject: " + subject);
out.println("Mime-Version: 1.0;");
out.println("Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"ISO-8859-1\";");
//out.println("Content-Type: multipart/mixed; charset=\"ISO-8859-1\";");
//out.println("Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit;");
//String line;
//while ((line = msg.readLine()) != null) {
// out.println(line);
out.println(msg);
retBuff.append(".");
out.println(".");
String acceptedOK = in.readLine();
retBuff.append(acceptedOK);
retBuff.append("QUIT");
out.println("QUIT");
return retBuff;Throw all this away and use one of the numerous existing Java mail packages, such as javax.mail for a start.

Sending images over network socket
I'm working on a java web server. So far i have managed to get it to send html documents sucessfully to the client web browser, using a BufferedReader, and a PrintWriter object.
But how should i send images over the socket? using this method doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
hornetauI did it first. You may pay me $10 and get XM2 WebServer 1.2 from my company.
Ok, I'll help ya out here...
HTTP protocol in Internet Explorer is "juiced up" meaning that it does not require HTTP data to be correctly sent. To send an image to be deisplayed...
<html>
<img src="theImage.gif"></img>
</html>
Now, the server will see a GET request like this...
GET /theImage.gif HTTP/1.1
Accepts: Image/jpeg, Image/gif, ...
Your web server (in the IE case just needs to send)...
output.println(data);
The data object is a string, that represents the contents of the image.
To do that, just get the correct File object, connect reader to it, then loop it
until the reader is no longer ready (reader.ready() != true), as it loops, just append
the readLine() command to the end of the data string and it will be ok.
Now this works on IE just fine, using vary small file sizes due to it being loaded directly into
memory. Casing problem if your app has only 500K of memory and the file size is 700K, 500-700=-200K, so use only small file sizes with this method.
There is also the URLConnection and HttpURLConnection classes to use that will do this better, but
they dont have any real way of getting the file's data - that's still YOUR job. -

Now how can I turn this into an image If this output is correct?HUH?
I got the one to send the images over the network. I'm now trying to get the exact feed of the webcam and sending that over the network. This is alot more difficult to accomplish but I did see where I messed up my process of sending the images was just having to save the file then open it up put it in a byte array then send that over the network to the client. Once it was at the client i was able to re-construct it and throw it up in the frame. The only problem was lag. So this tells me it would be much more faster if instead of saving the file to send the client and having to reconstruct the image I should just send the webcam feed i used to make the image.
eh, I guess I didn't need any help.

How can i taransfer an image over network through Sockets
If any one have the exsperience for tranfering the image over the network by using socket plz help me immediatly
You have to write a Server application and a Client application.
And connect the Client to the Server.
Then you can send whatever you want in either direction. -

How do I superimpose one image over another
How do I super impose one image over another?
Open image A
Open image B
On image B, use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object which you wish to "superimpose"
Go to Edit menu>copy to put the object on the clipboard
Go back to image A
Go to Edit>paste. The object will be on its own layer
Get the move tool out of the toolbox, and position the object and resize, if indicated -
Synchronizing peers in transfer over Socket
Hi again!
I'm relatively new to Java, so there are many issues I still have to figure out ;-)
Here are two of them:
1) How can peers be synchronized in transfer over Socket? For example:
This is the receiving peer:
DataInputStream dsin = new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
String s = dsin.readUTF();This is the sending peer:
DataOutputStream dsout = new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
dsout.writeUTF("something...");
dsout.close();At the receiving peer in some cases the EOFException or SocketException (Socket closed) are raised. I suspect this happens either because the receiver tries to read input before it is fully transfered or when the sender already managed to close the socket's OutputStream.
So how can such a transfer be synchronized?
2) What if both peers close their socket's OutputStream? Does this result in closing the connection and releasing all its resources, such as port?
Thank you everyone!this is what I learnt:Sorry, try again!
DO NOT close the Socket on any endpoint until you make sure that the other endpoint managed to call socket.getInputStream().This 'rule' is quite unnecessary.
According to the documentation, getInputStream() may return a stream which buffer was discarded by network software if a broken connection was detected.That's a complete misreading and misquoting of the documentation. A reset can happen to the connection at any time; can cause loss of data from te socket receive buffer; and has nothing to do with the operation of getting the input stream. Getting the input stream of a socket has nothing to do with the network or the state of the connection. It just constructs a Java object. So this rule is quite pointless.
Even more, it seems to be a good practice not to close the Socket until you are sure that the other endpoint will not try to read from the channel.You've got that back to front as well. THink about that some more and you will see it involves an infinite regression.
The only rules you need are these:
(a) don't close the socket until you're sure the other end has finished writing. You have to close the socket while the other end is still reading, so that it will get a EOS indication, so it will know you've gone away, so it will stop writing and close its end of the socket.
(b) closing the socket or either of its streams closes the other two items. You should always close the topmost output stream of a socket and nothing else. -
How to overlay color image over a grayscale image without IMAQ?
I would like to display a color image over a grayscale image; I would like the color image look translucent. How would I do this without using IMAQ functions? I am currently displaying my grayscale image using Intensity Graph.

Transparency and overlays are really just arithmetic on the images. It
is either done by the windowing system or by you. At the moment you
can't set transparency on LV controls. You can set it on LV floating
windows on some OSes, but then you will need to have the windows lined up.
A more direct approach is to lighten or darken the color image elements
based upon whether they will display over white, black, or a shade of
gray. If the images don't have the same size pixels, this will have a
first step of resampling th
e images so they do. Then combine the pixels
using the transparency you were going to apply to the color and the
shade of gray beneath it. I'm being vague here because there are lots
of physical models for combining colors.
If I look in my paint program I see about fifteen, so this is where you
get to make a choice and decide if black behind a red pixel is black, or
dark red. It all depends on whether these are two transparent
images(acetate sheets) backlit, or is it a transparency over a
nontransmitting media like paper. Anyway, if you can be more specific
about what you want, none of this is hard, typically just scaling the
int32s, adding, and some sort of normalization.

Overlay a still image over video.
I am editing a lot of video and have a need to lay an image over the video, like down the left column or even across the bottom.
What I am doing is editing footage of a poker game we filmed and I want to be able to display the players' hole cards like they do on TV.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I've looked and looked with no success.
Thanks for any help you can offer.In iMovie 08, when you overlay a photo over video, it takes the whole screen. iMovie 9, which comes out later this month, should have the ability to do what you are describing.
Also, if you have QuickTime Pro, you can do this as well. QuickTime Pro is not as intuitive as iMovie so get a good book to help. One such book available from frequent forum participant [QuickTime Kirk|http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/book/index.html] -

I am beginning and I need to send XML formatted data from Swing Client to Server for parsing/processing/and response.
There are no web server available to use. I think its best to use socket connection, but how do I send xml data over socket, and how do I receive it from server and parse it?
I have read and cannot find a similar example.Xerces has DOMSerializer which can be used to serialize a Document object to a string. Once it's a string it's trivial to transmit over a socket connection. On the other side, to parse it, you'll have to create a StringReader for the received string and then an InputSource from the StringReader. You'll then be able to pass the InputSource to the DocumentBuilder.parse( ) method to generate a Document on the receiving side.
Hope that helps,

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
More generally, if you write like a semi-literate b o o b you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate b o o b to save two entire keystrokes. -
Question about setting the background from an image over the internet.
Hello ,
If I want the background of my panel to be set from an image over the internet directly do I just add that URL right away like this :
protected final static String imagePath = "http://www.engr.wisc.edu/2010/background.jpg";
icon = new ImageIcon(AuthScreen.imagePath);
JPanel panel = new JPanel(){
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
Dimension d = getSize();
g.drawImage(icon.getImage(), 0, 0, d.width, d.height, null);
super.paintComponent(g);
};instead of this :
protected final static String imagePath = "d:\\javaapps\\bg.jpg";cuz I did that but it isnt working .
Thanks.I don't see how, try it out:

Displaying an Image over a Video
Hello everybody !
I have a little problem: I want to display an mx:Image over a
mx:VideoDisplay object. So, I use "myVideo.addChild(myImage);" but
it doesn't work: the image isn't displayed. I tried using
addChildAt in order to put the image at the front but it doesn't
work either.
I'm probably doing something wrong but I can't find what it
is.
I've tried the same thing with a button instead of an image
and it works.
Does anyone have an explanation ?Yann,
I'm trying to do the same thing. Did you ever figure it out?
What I really want is to put a poster frame on the video but it is
not clear I can do that in Flex Builder
