Problem in Saving Image Code

Question

Hi, I'm been dealing with this code that should be saving an image as a JPEG format.
public static void saveAsJPEG(RenderedImage image, String file)
throws java.io.IOException {
String filename = file;
if(!filename.endsWith(".jpg"))
filename = new String(file+".jpg");
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
JPEGEncodeParam param = new JPEGEncodeParam();
ImageEncoder encoder = ImageCodec.createImageEncoder("JPEG", out, param);
encoder.encode(image); out.close(); }
However, when I compile the code, there's an error come out : com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGEncodeParam is abstract; cannot be instantiated
I really can't figure out the meaning of this exception. So, would somebody kindly tell me what is wrong with the code?
And another question is : What package is the ImageCodec located? Thanks a lot :)

Answer 1

try this out and let me know;
public static void saveAsJPEG(BufferedImage image, String file)
throws java.io.IOException {
String filename = file;
if(!filename.endsWith(".jpg")) filename = new String(file+".jpg");
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(out); // Create JPEG encoder
JPEGEncodeParam jpegParams = encoder.getDefaultJPEGEncodeParam(image);
jpegParams.setQuality(1.0f, false); // Set quality to 100% for JPEG
encoder.setJPEGEncodeParam(jpegParams);
encoder.encode(image); // Encode image to JPEG and send to browser
//JPEGEncodeParam jpegPparams = new JPEGEncodeParam();
//ImageEncoder encoder = ImageCodec.createImageEncoder("JPEG", out, jpegParams);
//encoder.encode(image);
out.close(); }
