You mean something like:
import java.io.*;
public class GetBytes( File imageFile) throws IOException {
// set size of array to n megabytes
double bytes = n * 1024 * 1024;
double imageBytes;
imageFile = new File( imageFile)
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream( new
FileOutputStream( imageFile), bytes);
// get the size of the image file
imageBytes = bos.count();
// write out the file for the database
bos.write( imageFile);
}
I realize there is some overhead here, but I can't think of any
other way to get the size of the input stream (in this case you
feed the input from the servlet getting the image through
GetBytes). But why not just serialize the image file object and
store it directly into the database? Is there a need to know the
file size? Deserializing an image object from a database is
fairly trivial if the client UI is Java.
