BufferedImage from FileOutputStream

[RoshaniG Gopal]

Hi All,
i want to get a BufferedImage but I have a FileOutputStream Object with me. Can anyone tell how do I get it?

[Jesper de Jong]

A FileOutputStream is for writing to a file. Did you mean you have a FileInputStream object, for reading from a file?

The easiest way to read an image from a file is using the ImageIO API:

InputStream in = new FileInputStream("picture.jpg");
 
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(in);

Hi Jesper,
Thanks for your reply adn apology if I was not clear in my question.
I have a FileOutputStream object adn I want to convert it to a BufferedImage as the new encode() takes BufferedImage instead of FileOutputStream (that was used earlier).

FileOutputStream fos = null;
fos = new FileOutputStream(actualImagePath,false);
if (fos != null) {customBean.encode(<BufferredImageRequired> ;
I cannot change the approach to maintain backward compatibility.

Is there a way we can do this?

That's not possible. Can you explain more about the project you're working on? Do you understand exactly what the encode(...) method is supposed to do in the context of the project?
