Forget about iText for now. Can you get the image into a byte array? Once you get there Image.getInstance() will always work.

It (Image.getInstance("http://accord-wf- dev.unix.srv.westpac.com.au:9704/createjpg/createjpg")) definitely called the servlet createjpg as I can see it from the logs. I tried the wget command successfully as follows: C:\tools\wget>wget -O createjpg.jpg -S -v http://accord-wf-dev.unix.srv.westpac. com.au:9704/createjpg/createjpg --2010-02-09 10:33:33-- http://accord-wf-dev.unix.srv.westpac.com.au:9704/creat ejpg/createjpg Resolving accord-wf-dev.unix.srv.westpac.com.au... 10.2.221.229 Connecting to accord-wf-dev.unix.srv.westpac.com.au|10.2.221.229|:9704... connec ted.

I added the following commands before calling Image.getInstance() and debugged line by line in NetBeans6.5.1: URL url = new URL("http://localhost:8080/createjpg/createjpg"); InputStream is = url.openStream(); byte buffer[] = new byte[1024]; while ((i = is.read(buffer)) != -1) { System.out.write(buffer, 0, i); } This code did not give any Exception error and returned 4 lines. If possible, please let me know how I can debug the Image.getInstance() and the servlet createjpg link.
