reproducing c function in java

[jimgardener]

hi
i am trying to reproduce this following function in java

in c i have a function tiffwrite_head() as below
____________________________________________
static unsigned long int lastifd ;//is ouside the function
static struct IFD ifd =
{
.......//some fields initialised
};

struct IFD * tiffwrite_head (FILE *outfile)

{
struct
{
unsigned short int order_id ;
unsigned short int tiff_id ;
unsigned long int first_ifd ;
} header ;


header.tiff_id=42 ;
if ((char)header.tiff_id==42) header.order_id=0x4949 ;
else header.order_id=0x4D4D ;
rewind (outfile) ;
header.first_ifd=0 ;
ifd.StripOffsets.value=8 ;
ifd.ImageLength.value=0 ;
lastifd=4 ;

if ((fwrite (&header,1,sizeof(header),outfile))!=8) return (NULL) ;
return (&ifd) ;
}
___________________________________________________
I would like to know if it is possible to reproduce this above
function in java .can someone help?

Also IFD is =>
struct IFD
{
unsigned short int ifd_count ;
struct IFDENTRY NewSubfileType ;
struct IFDENTRY ImageWidth ;
struct IFDENTRY ImageLength ;
struct IFDENTRY BitsPerSample ;
struct IFDENTRY Compression ;
struct IFDENTRY PhotometricInterpretation ;
struct IFDENTRY FillOrder ;
struct IFDENTRY StripOffsets ;
struct IFDENTRY SamplesPerPixel ;
struct IFDENTRY RowsPerStrip ;
struct IFDENTRY StripByteCounts ;
struct IFDENTRY Xresolution ;
struct IFDENTRY Yresolution ;
struct IFDENTRY T4Options ;
struct IFDENTRY ResolutionUnit ;
struct IFDENTRY PageNumber ;
unsigned long int nextifd ;
unsigned long int Xres[2] ;
unsigned long int Yres[2] ;
} ;

struct IFDENTRY
{
unsigned short int tag ;
unsigned short int type ;
unsigned long int count ;
unsigned long int value ;
} ;

Here's a few thoughts I have:

1. Use DataInput/OutputStream to do IO for "write_head".

2. Make the TIFF header a Java bean: private fields, with getters and
setters.

3. Add a "read" and "write" method to the TIFF bean to do IO. Consider
over-riding writeObject, although that might not be the best, just a
thought.

4. Compose your TIFF image object to include the header and any other
bits you need. Write the whole thing in a "write" method applied to the
whole object. Same with "read".

public class TIFF {
private TiffHeader header;
private byte [] imageData; // or whatever
private more stuff here;

...

}

Good luck!

Are you on a little-endian or big-endian machine?

How much will you charge for consultancy rates?

And most importantly, why can you not use the javax.imageio API?

Java does not have the capability to read and write structs. Well - it
does not even have structs.

Instead you need to create two method per struct, one that reads from
a DataInputStream and one that writes to a DataOutputStream.
