How send image object through socket...?

Question

I want to send image object through socket... Don't want to store image in sender or receivers computer...

Answer 1

So what have you tried ?

This is a tutorial on client/server communication using Java. This reads from stdin, but in your instance you should probably provide an InputStream on your image object.

Answer 2

Use this serialization for an image object to send it through the socket.

Answer 3

Use this method:

  ImageIO.write(RenderedImage, String, OutputStream)

Use in your situation:

Sender

   BufferedImage image = ....;
   ImageIO.write(image, "PNG", socket.getOutputStream());

Receiver

   BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(socket.getInputStream());
