Hello All, I'm trying to build a simple servlet that will provide images to an applet. Essentially trying to get around the applet's limitation of only reading files from it's host.
I started with the example in Chapter of Jason Hunter's "Java Servlet Programming" (excellent book, by the way!). The servlet reads an image from a URL into an java.awt.image object. The applet then retrieves that object from the servlet using com.oreilly.servlet.HttpMessage class. The applet is throwing a java.io.FileNotFoundException, but experiments lead me to believe that the problem is due to the fact that the java.awt.Image class does not implement serializable interface. The servlet can correctly determine the width and height of the image and successfully transfer that information to the applet as a String object. So, is there a better way to achieve my objective than to transfer an java.awt.Image object from the servlet to the applet? Does the object being transferred have to be serializable?
