Keeping the ICC Profile

Question

Hi,
I need to load an image, perform some transformations to it and save it as JPEG. But I've noticed some color issues. Not perceptible when you look at it on the monitor screen, but perceptible when printing it an looking at the picture.
What I noticed is that if an ICC profile is assigned to the image, then Java wil take it out.
I've tried both JAI and Java 2D but both of them ripps the ICC pofile from the image.
I also tried something as simple as loading an image an saving it as JPEG without any transformation but the ICC profile isn't there after saving it.
The JAI code I'm using it is as follows:
        PlanarImage pi = JAI.create("fileload", imagePath);
        JAI.create("filestore", pi.getAsBufferedImage(), outPath, "jpeg");And the Java 2D is:
        Image image = ImageIO.read(new File(imagePath));
        int width = image.getWidth(null);
        int height = image.getHeight(null);
        double factor = 1.0;
        if ((width < MIN_WIDTH || width < MIN_HEIGHT)) {
            factor = MIN_WIDTH / (float) width;
        } else if (width > MAX_WIDTH || height > MAX_HEIGHT) {
            factor = MAX_WIDTH / (float) width;
        int newWidth = (int) (image.getWidth(null) * factor);
        int newHeight = (int) (image.getHeight(null) * factor);
        BufferedImage out = new BufferedImage(newWidth, newHeight,
                                              BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
        AffineTransform transform = new AffineTransform();
        transform.scale( ( float )factor, ( float )factor);
        Graphics2D g = out.createGraphics();
        g.drawImage(image, transform, null);
        FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream( new File ( outPath ) );
        JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder( fileOut );
        JPEGEncodeParam param = encoder.getDefaultJPEGEncodeParam( out );
        param.setQuality( 0.95f, true);
        encoder.setJPEGEncodeParam( param );
        encoder.encode( out );Can you point me what I'm doing wrong?
Is there something I'm not considering?
Does Java takes the ICC profile when loading the image or when saving it?
Thanks!!!

The most recent version I've seen was pretty clear in the documentation:
"ICC profile, not implemented in this version of Photoshop"
So the image you send needs to be sRGB
