RE: Sending jpg bytes over a server

Question

I had another topic but it has not been answered for a couple days so I guess I will clarify my problem more.
I'm sending my image over a server, Client->Server->Client.
My sending and receiving works but I get the image and it cannot be displayed.
Sending
try{
              FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("picture.jpg");
              byte[] buffer = new byte[fis.available()];
              fis.read(buffer);
              return buffer;
         }catch(Exception e){
              System.out.println("Loading Image error");
         }Receiving
         try{
              FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("received.jpg");
              fos.write(image);
              ImageIcon display = new ImageIcon("received.jpg");
              clientDisplayPicture=new JLabel(display);
         }catch(Exception h){
              System.out.println("Problem receiving");
         }Am I packaging it wrong? The received image is 0bytes. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Here you are ignoring the result of the read() method.Meaning?
Here you are not telling us how the incoming data got into 'image'.I put the bytes of the image into an object and passed it over the network.
    public void displayPicture(String from, byte[] image, boolean a, boolean b){
         try{
              FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("received.jpg");
              fos.write(image);
              fos.close();
         }catch(Exception h){
              System.out.println("Problem receiving");
    public byte[] getImage(){
         try{
              FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("picture.jpg");
              File f = new File("picture.jpg");
              int bsize = 1375;
              byte[] buffer = new byte[bsize];
              fis.read(buffer);
              fis.close();
              return buffer;
         }catch(Exception e){
              System.out.println("Loading Image error");
         return null;
    }EDIT: Thanks, got it working, the above worked. THANKS!
