Hi Jim,

You should do 1 in any case :)

Point 2 is not so hard. Just download the file with HttpClient or the like. While you're reading from the stream you have to count bytes. Put this in a IValidator and attach it to the imageUrl textbox.

If you go for point 3 then note that not all types of images can be converted by the java imaging library. In particular CYMK jpgs and tiff files are troublesome.

Regards,
   Erik.

I had a few ideas:

1. a note on the item entry page asking users to 'please don't do that'.   :)
2. add an ImageURLValidator to check the image size.... somehow... hmmm...
3. find some utility to help read the image, properly size it, and
store a local copy with my own id (filesystem should work fine)
and let my model's imageURL property point to it.
