Screen capture of web page?

[chsanthosh kumar]

Hi ,

I gone through the search for getting a screen shot of web page.

I got the below code for getting screen shot of window or desktop.

But in my case I need to capture web page given url as screen shot (or image).

/*
 * Screenshot.java (requires Java 1.4+)
 */
 
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
 
public class Screenshot {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// make sure we have exactly two arguments, 
// a waiting period and a file name
if (args.length != 2) {
System.err.println("Usage: java Screenshot " +
"WAITSECONDS OUTFILE.png");
System.exit(1);
}
// check if file name is valid
String outFileName = args[1];
if (!outFileName.toLowerCase().endsWith(".png")) {
System.err.println("Error: output file name must " +
"end with \".png\".");
System.exit(1);
}
// wait for a user-specified time
try {
long time = Long.parseLong(args[0]) * 1000L;
System.out.println("Waiting " + (time / 1000L) + 
" second(s)...");
Thread.sleep(time);
} catch(NumberFormatException nfe) {
System.err.println(args[0] + " does not seem to be a " +
"valid number of seconds.");
System.exit(1);
}
// determine current screen size
Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Dimension screenSize = toolkit.getScreenSize();
Rectangle screenRect = new Rectangle(screenSize);
// create screen shot
Robot robot = new Robot();
BufferedImage image = robot.createScreenCapture(screenRect);
// save captured image to PNG file
ImageIO.write(image, "png", new File(outFileName));
// give feedback
System.out.println("Saved screen shot (" + image.getWidth() +
" x " + image.getHeight() + " pixels) to file \"" +
outFileName + "\".");
// use System.exit if the program hangs after writing the file;
// that's an old bug which got fixed only recently
// System.exit(0); 
}
}

Any help related to get screen shot of desired web page.

Thanks

Hi ,

I got the solution for open webbrowser and capture screen shot of that webpage.

here is my code:

/*
 * Screenshot.java (requires Java 1.4+)
 */
 
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
 
public class Screenshot {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// make sure we have exactly three arguments,
// a waiting period and a file name and a http Url
 

if (args.length != 3) {
System.err.println("Usage: java Screenshot " +
"WAITSECONDS OUTFILE.png URL");
System.exit(1);
}
// check if file name is valid
String outFileName = args[1];
if (!outFileName.toLowerCase().endsWith(".png")) {
System.err.println("Error: output file name must " +
"end with \".png\".");
System.exit(1);
}

String Url = args[2];
String[] cmd = new String[5];
   cmd[0] = "cmd.exe";
cmd[1] = "/C";
cmd[2] = "rundll32";
cmd[3] = "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler";
cmd[4] = Url;
        Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd );
 
// wait for a user-specified time
try {
long time = Long.parseLong(args[0]) * 1000L;
System.out.println("Waiting " + (time / 1000L) +
" second(s)...");
Thread.sleep(time);
} catch(NumberFormatException nfe) {
System.err.println(args[0] + " does not seem to be a " +
"valid number of seconds.");
System.exit(1);
}
// determine current screen size
Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Dimension screenSize = toolkit.getScreenSize();
Rectangle screenRect = new Rectangle(screenSize);
// create screen shot
Robot robot = new Robot();
BufferedImage image = robot.createScreenCapture(screenRect);
// save captured image to PNG file
ImageIO.write(image, "png", new File(outFileName));
// give feedback
System.out.println("Saved screen shot (" + image.getWidth() +
" x " + image.getHeight() + " pixels) to file \"" +
outFileName + "\".");
// use System.exit if the program hangs after writing the file;
// that's an old bug which got fixed only recently
// System.exit(0); 
}
}

By using this code It is not capturing all the web page.

Please suggest me to achieve this.

Thanks
