Apache FileUpLoad and BufferedImage?

Hello,

I am planning to use the apache fileupload tool, to access images posted to a servlet.

The servlet accesses the files using:

List items = upload.parseRequest(req);

while(iter.hasNext()){
FileItem item = (FileItem) iter.next();
}

My plan was to create a thumbnail of the orginal image, and this and orginal image.

Could anyone advise if I could possibly create an BufferedImage object or Image object from the item variable above, and then reduce the image size using the bufferedimage?

Thank you

You can use.
BufferImage bi = ImageIO.read(item.getInputStream());

Thanks I'll try this,

Do you think this would work for gif and png images as well?

Could you offer any advise in creating an thumbnails from the orginal.

I thought it would be difficult to make all the thumbnails one size automatically. Perhaps I should take a width, height of the orginal image and determine from this if I should scale down by 50%, 25%.

Thanks

Are you using Java 5 ?
ImageIO has readers for jpg, png, and gif . Writers for jpg and png, I am not sure about gif. You might have to use Acme.com package.
Hopefully we will get some help from experts. I am not real expert in Image code.

I am not very use to the Image or AffineTransform classes. I will look into these.

Thanks
