Image recreated even after deletion by java.

[Anonymous]

Hi, I have a very weird problem.

I have two methods. one to get an uploded image from a web page (which
works with many different images), another to convert that uploaded
image into a thumbnail. So heres the story...
The thumbnail constantly remains the same, no matter what file I
upload. I have tryed manually deleting both the uploaded file and the
thumbnail, but the thumbnail is re-created, the exact same image as
before EVEN after their both deleted.
Its like theres a ghost in my system... maybe I need to call the
garbage collector to clean up the image in memory or something?
here is the code...

setImage gets the uploaded image and writes to file(works fine).
makeThumbNail (which is called within setImage) always makes the same
thumbnail no matter what you upload and even if you delete the old
image & thumbnail image.


public String setImage(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ValidationException{
//Save the image to a file in dcpc/images folder using the
file name
//<productId>.jpg you need two \\'s as \ means go to next
character in java.
String productID = null;
String fileNameToSave;
DiskFileUpload upload;
java.util.List items;
FileItem picture = null;
File fileTo;
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream;
boolean isMultiPart = false;

//Create a new upload handler
upload = new DiskFileUpload();
isMultiPart = upload.isMultipartContent(request);
if( !(request== null) && isMultiPart) {
try {
//Get a list of the items uploaded including normal
form fields.
items = upload.parseRequest(request);

// Get the picture & product ID from the list
Iterator iterator = items.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
FileItem item = (FileItem) iterator.next();
if (item.getFieldName().equals("productID")) {
productID = item.getString();
System.out.println("Product ID: " +
productID);
}
if (item.isFormField() == false) {
picture = item;
}
}

fileNameToSave = "C:\\Tomcat\\webapps\\dcpc\\images\\"
+ productID + ".jpg";
System.out.println("TO:" + fileNameToSave);
//Delete old Image & Create reference to new Image
fileTo = new File(fileNameToSave);
System.out.println(fileTo.length());
while(fileTo.exists()){
if(fileTo.delete()){
System.out.println("Existing image deleted");
continue;
}
}
//Write to file
long pictureSize = picture.getSize();
System.out.println(fileTo.length());
System.out.println("File being written.");
picture.write(fileTo);
System.out.println(pictureSize);
System.out.println(fileTo.length());
while(fileTo.length() != pictureSize){
System.out.print(".");
}
//Save ThumbNail
String thumbNailFile =
"C:\\Tomcat\\webapps\\dcpc\\images\\" + productID + "thumbnail.jpg";
//Give the system time to write the file if it is
large.
makeThumbNail(150, 150, 90, fileNameToSave,
thumbNailFile, response, productID);
}catch(IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
return "<div class='error'>Failed. System
Error</div>";
}catch(NullPointerException npe){
return null;
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();

return productID;

graphics2D.drawImage(image, 0, 0, width, height, null);
// Create output stream
out = new BufferedOutputStream(new
FileOutputStream(fileOut));
// Create jpeg encoder that writes to output stream
jpegEncoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(out);
// Get JPEG Encoder's default encode param so we can set
quality

quality = Math.max(0, Math.min(quality, 100));
param.setQuality((float)quality / 100.0f, false);
// Set the JPEG Encoders param to the new param.
jpegEncoder.setJPEGEncodeParam(param);
// Tell jpeg encoder to write to fileOut
jpegEncoder.encode(thumbImage);
// Close the output stream because on some operating
systems (e.g Windows)
// The file will be locked by this program & unusable by
other programs unless
// you close the output stream.
out.close();
//Redirect the browser to the page with the new picture.

Multi-posting? That is generally solved by *not* multi-posting.
