applet access file on his server?

hi

I am trying to open image in server side , i tryied getCodeBase()+filename
but applet throws NullpointerException how can i get path on server and read from or right to ?

That hard to say without knowing which object is null, and what the code is trying to do at that point. (In other words, post the relevant lines of code, and the full stack trace of the exception.)

RenderedOp op = JAI.create("filestore", image3,"nour2.tif", format2);

////////////////???

}catch(Exception ds){

txtArea.append(ds.toString());
}

}
}

So which line is causing the exception? Which object is null? What is the full stack trace?

catch(MalformedURLException e){}

Completely ignoring exceptions is rarely a good idea, and definitely not here.

hi
this Console message .
i need to write TIFF file(nour2.tif) after loding nour.tiff and get Graphic(g) object and draw using it and save it as nour2.tiff

That's not a stack trace, those are just startup message sof the Java Plugin. But you said there was an exception, and for figuring out what causes that it's important to know where that occurs. So you need to tell us which line of code causes the exception, and -since you said it's a NullPointerException- you should start with examining which object is null.

hi

this is the
exception

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: FileStore IOException encountered in file creation test: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

String filename2=getCodeBase() + "nour2.tif";
String format2 = "TIFF";
/////////////////???
RenderedOp op = JAI.create("filestore", image3,filename2, format2);

So what does getCodeBase() return? Is filename2 a valid file name?

getCodeBase()+filename2

that return
file:/D:/Documents%20and%20Settings/hasssan/Desktop/jaiapplet/nour2.tif

where filename2=nour2.tif
