JAI error when uploading PNG and GIF files

Question

I am new to using JAI and I wrote this simple code to upload images. This code works fine for jpegs but causes error for pngs and gifs.

Here is the code:

ByteArraySeekableStream byteArraySeekableStream = new ByteArraySeekableStream(content.getData());
ParameterBlock pb = new ParameterBlock();
pb.add(byteArraySeekableStream);
BufferedImage originalImage = JAI.create("jpeg", pb).getAsBufferedImage();

This is the error:

    Error: Cannot decode the image for the type :

Can anyone advice?

Answer 1

Pass in the correct file type to the BufferedImage and it should work.

PNG
BufferedImage originalImage = JAI.create("png", pb).getAsBufferedImage();

GIF
BufferedImage originalImage = JAI.create("gif", pb).getAsBufferedImage();

And have a look at this answer to get the file extensions.
