Help,ImageIO

[Subha]

Hi,
I'm dynamiclly creating image files through screenshot utility of
java(prog name:- Test_ScreenShot.java) and saving

them in memory sequentially(pic0.jpg,pic1.jpg....etc).Simultaneously
I'm accessing the saved files from another

independent application(Prog name:- Test_Main.java) through
piping(executing the application like this "Java

Test_ScreenShot|Java Test_Main").The application is in infinite
loop.I'm using Version JDK 1.5


I use java ImageIO to read and write image:-
My application was running well for days.But now I'm getting sudden
exceptions.
I got an excepton while trying to save an dynamically generated image
file in the local memory using the ImageIO

class.In brief I'm getting exactly 3 types of exceptions:-



1)java.io.FileNotFoundException: pic5.jpg (Access is denied)
2)"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
3)Exception in thread "main"
com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.ImageFormatException: Not a JPEG file: starts
with 0xff 0xd9


Here is the code snippent I wrote:



/* Robot robot = new Robot();
BufferedImage image = robot.createScreenCapture(screenRect);
// save captured image to jpg file
ImageIO.write(image, "jpg", new File(outFileName));*/

And here is the exception I am finding (I never found this before, I
executed the code many times )
=====================================================================================================================
1)Exception Type 1:-

java.io.FileNotFoundException: pic5.jpg (Access is denied)
at java.io.RandomAccessFile.open(Native Method)
at java.io.RandomAccessFile.<init>(RandomAccessFile.java:212)

2)Exception Type 2:-
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at Picture.width(Picture.java:84)
at Test_Edge_Detector.not_main(Test_Edge_Detector.java:38)
at Test_Main.main(Test_Main.java:88)"



============================================================================================
Now I tried the following as alternative of ImageIO(from jdk 1.2)
to read image:-
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
JPEGImageDecoder jpeg = JPEGCodec.createJPEGDecoder(fis);
jpeg.decodeAsBufferedImage();
fis.close();
But after running a long time suddenly its giving following
exceptions:-

==============================================================================================


Exception Type 3:- )

My question is:-
1)Where is the actual problem?Is it any kind of bug?
2)I'm using the concept of piping recently to execute the
application.Can it be the cause?


When I googled I found the following informations.There is a bug in
ImageIO while trying to write image file.But
I'm not sure about that it will be relevent here :-
1)from sun's bug database:-
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6247985

2)from SUN Developer Forums

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=768917&messageID=4382833

3)from Java.NET forum(here they r getting the bug while they r using
createScreenCapture() method of robot class,I am

also using that in my code)
http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=123247

4)from SUN's archieve
http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0207&L=java-imageio-interest&D=0&P=1483

5)Here is the actual implemetation of ImageIO class.I'm getting error
at 391 no. line.
