Hi,
I'm writing a
servlet that accepts the following params thru the URL:
1) a filename for an image sitting on my server, and
2) a pair of X and Y dimensions.
The servlet is supposed to scale the image appropriately and send the result to the response OutputStream. My strategy is: take the image file, load it into a BufferedImage, modify it appropriately, and send it from there to an OutputStream. Here's the code that is supposed to accomplish this:
...that makes sense, right? Currently, getImageFileName() returns the name of a JPEG which I know is valid, and alterImage() does nothing. But here's the thing: when I run this, the image produced is a big black box, and not the expected image at all, and the box has the same dimensions as the expected image.
What am I doing wrong?
