Parsing Problems? ImageIcon and BufferedImage

Question

Hi to everyone
Could I ask if I will to send ImageIcon with BufferedImage as its arguement. Then what should I receieve from the server? ImageIcon only or ImageIcon with BufferedImage as its arugement?
Any help will be appreciated. Thank You.

Answer 1

I am sending ImageIcon over to the server, hence the server will receive as ImageIcon.
However, when I want to pass the ImageIcon which being parse to Image, this step is ok. Lastly when I want to parse the Image to BufferedImage image, I am encountering parsing problems, hence could u advise me further.
The error message "Receiving failed: java.lang.ClassCastException"
Any help will be appreciated. Thank You.
     public void getImage()
          //Object input = null;
        Image images = null;
          try{
               imgIcon = (ImageIcon)oin.readObject();
               System.out.println("Icon Width: "+imgIcon.getIconWidth());
               while((images = imgIcon.getImage()) != null)
                    System.out.println("Images Width: "+Image.getWidth(images));
                    BufferedImage bimage = (BufferedImage)images; // PROBLEM LIES HERE
                    System.out.println("Bimage Width: "+bimage.getWidth());
                    ImageServerConnection.writeImage(bimage, "happy.jpg");
                    //String fname = "joalicia";
                    //create an new folder to store those sent images.
                    //File f = new File ("c:\\Sweet", fname);
                    //create(f);
          }catch(Exception e){
               System.err.println("Receiving failed: "+ e);
