Hi John,
Simply pass the url for the image to a servlet, open the url and write it
into the output stream.
Below is the servlet code:
try {
urlGif= request.getParameter("urlGif");
}
catch( Exception e) {
//do something
}
if (urlGif != null) {
try {
URL url = new URL(urlGif);
URLConnection urlConn = url.openConnection();
InputStream is = url.openStream();
// Let the run-time system (RTS) know that we want input.
urlConn.setDoInput (true);
// No caching
urlConn.setUseCaches (false);
response.setContentType(urlConn.getContentType());
int oneChar;
while ((oneChar = is.read()) != -1)
out.write(oneChar);
}
catch(MalformedURLException e) {
out.println("malformed gif");
}
out.close();
>From the client:
build the URL using the servlet as the URL location: where imageSouce is the
url for the GIF
URL reference = ((HTMLDocument)getDocument()).getBase();
String imageLocation = "http:/hostname/servlet/SomeServlet?urlGif=" +
imageSource;
URL url = new URL(reference,src);
Image fImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(url);
Hope this helps.
Don
