I am using



Java platform:jdk 1.4.1


Windows platform: Windows 98se



Problem:I am making one application in which i need to display images when i get


it from socket.I had used one JScrollPane over JPanel with scrollbars.But when i

get the image i stored it into an Image object.



such as in my main program


screen = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage ( "screen.jpg" );



//Draw picture first time it works fine...


paintPicture(screen);





paintPicture(Image image)


{picpnl = new JPanel();


picpnl.setLayout(new BorderLayout());


image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit( ).getImage(image);



//Is picpnl is unable to display image second time



picpnl.add(new JScrollPane(new ImageComponent(image)),BorderLayout.CENTER);


c.add( picpnl, BorderLayout.CENTER );


picpnl.setVisible(true);



---
---
from my refresh code:


if(image!=null)


image.flush();


Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();


rt.runFinalization();


rt.gc();


image = null;



//is this 2nd time image not properly stored in variable image



image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage( b ,0, b.length );


paintPicture(image);



//go to paintPicture second time doesn't work






The above code works fine for (the first time).But when i try to display a

different socket image (the second time) it doesn't work.



I didn't know what the problem is...


---whether the previous image didn't get erased from RAM or


---the OS is not aware of the current changed image in variable (image) or the


---JScrollPane is unable to redraw it second time.



How can i display one changed image from the socket onto the JScrollPane? (the second time).



Also i want to know if we are using one file with the name "screen.jpg" and at

runtime if i changed that file with another file with the same name. How can i

display that changed file?Is it possible in Java or not.(Is it the limitation of

Java).

I totally get frustated by reading all forums but i didn't get the answer.Please reply me soon with the complete code?

One simillar problem:


creating the label and image icon



String image_dir = new String();


if (type.equals("QUERY") && _Query_Image != null)

{

image_dir = _Query_Image.getDir();

ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Pictures\01.jpg");

_Image_Label_1 = new JLabel(icon);

JScrollPane pictureScrollPane = new JScrollPane(_Image_Label_1);

pictureScrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500,500));

pictureScrollPane.setViewportBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black));

return pictureScrollPane;

}




in my refresh method



if (_Query_Image != null)

{

_Query_Image_Dir.setText(_Query_Image.getName());


//Change the image icon at runtime it doesn't work.....


_Image_Label_1.setIcon(new ImageIcon(_Query_Image.getDir()));

_Image_Label_1.repaint();

}
