I want to display an BufferedImage that is returned by some API ( a Java Library for Canon Hack Development Kit) in my Vaadin Application without saving it to the file system. Is that somehow possible? It doesn't seem to be much of a hassle in swing but I have found no way to do it in Vaadin so far.
Yes, this is perfectly possible with Vaadin using a com.vaadin.server.StreamResource. A StreamResource provides the data of some InputStream and can be used anywhere a com.vaadin.server.Resource is expected (i.e. links, images, icons...).
The following example method creates a StreamResource for a BufferedImage on the fly:
private StreamResource createStreamResource() {
return new StreamResource(new StreamSource() {
#Override
public InputStream getStream() {
String text = "Date: " + DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.FULL, DateFormat.MEDIUM).format(new Date());
BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(370, 30,
BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR);
bi.getGraphics().drawChars(text.toCharArray(), 0,
text.length(), 10, 20);
try {
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ImageIO.write(bi, "png", bos);
return new ByteArrayInputStream(bos.toByteArray());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
}
}, "dateImage.png");
}
This can be used with an com.vaadin.ui.Image as follows:
Image image = new Image("", createStreamResource());
layout.addComponent(image);
Refer to the Vaadin Docs about Stream Resources for more information.

I try to display an image, stored as blob in a table.
So I need to convert a byte[] into a Vaadin Image class (I guess that's the best way to display it ?).
I try this solution (4 years old):
https://vaadin.com/forum/thread/10271496/byte-array-to-vaadin-image
it's not working :
new StreamResource.StreamSource() { -> Cannot resolve symbol 'StreamSource'
How can I do it in Vaadin 13 ?
Here is a solution:
private Image convertToImage(byte[] imageData)
{
StreamResource streamResource = new StreamResource("isr", new InputStreamFactory() {
#Override
public InputStream createInputStream() {
return new ByteArrayInputStream(imageData);
}
});
return new Image(streamResource, "photo");
}
I have these two methods in my controller.I want to open the FilestreamResult pdf() that returns a file stream result.However, i am getting OutputStream is not available when a custom TextWriter is used error.I am using itextsharp for pdf.
Here is my code :
public FileStreamResult pdf()
{
MemoryStream workStream = new MemoryStream();
Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, workStream).CloseStream = false;
List<Plant> plants = new List<Plant>();
foreach (var item in context.Plants)
{
plants.Add(item);
}
byte[] byteInfo = GeneratePdf(plants);
workStream.Write(byteInfo, 0, byteInfo.Length);
workStream.Position = 0;
return new FileStreamResult(workStream, "application/pdf");
}
and the Generate pdf method is
private static byte[] GeneratePdf(List<Plant> plants)
{
using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
using (var doc = new Document())
{
PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, memoryStream);
doc.Open();
doc.SetMargins(120, 120, 270, 270);
BaseFont font = BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.TIMES_ROMAN, BaseFont.CP1252, false);
Font normalFont = new Font(font, 12, Font.NORMAL, BaseColor.BLACK);
Paragraph pgTitle = new Paragraph();
pgTitle.Font = new Font(font, 20, Font.NORMAL, BaseColor.BLACK);
pgTitle.Add("American University of Beirut");
doc.Add(pgTitle);
Paragraph pgPlantTitle = new Paragraph();
pgPlantTitle.Font = new Font(font, 18, Font.NORMAL, BaseColor.BLACK);
pgPlantTitle.Add("Plant Description");
doc.Add(pgPlantTitle);
foreach (Plant p in plants)
{
Paragraph plantDisc = new Paragraph();
plantDisc.Font = new Font(font, 14, Font.NORMAL, BaseColor.BLACK);
plantDisc.Add(p.ScientificName);
plantDisc.Add(p.TypeOfPlants.ToString());
plantDisc.Add(p.PlantHeightRanges.ToString());
plantDisc.Add(p.PlantSpreadRanges.ToString());
plantDisc.Add(p.PlantShapes.ToString());
plantDisc.Add(p.NativeOrigin);
plantDisc.Add(p.Colors.ToString());
plantDisc.Add(p.Colors1.ToString());
plantDisc.Add(p.LightRequirements.ToString());
plantDisc.Add(p.WaterRequirements.ToString());
doc.Add(plantDisc);
doc.Add(new Paragraph(" "));
}
doc.Close();
memoryStream.Close();
return memoryStream.ToArray();
}
}
}
Any help?
You're using the Document and PdfWriter classes incorrectly in your first method. I'm going to throw some comments into that method to better explain what's going on.
public FileStreamResult pdf()
{
//Create a generic Stream for someone to write their bytes to
MemoryStream workStream = new MemoryStream();
//Create an iText Document helper object which is a friendly way to create new PDFs using things like tables and paragraphs.
//No where in the code below will this helper object be used so that's the first problem.
Document document = new Document();
//Bind our document helper and stream to a PdfWriter.
//This writer will _exclusively own_ the Stream from now on.
//If _anyone_ else writes to the stream (as you are doing below) it will break the PDF or possibly just throw an exception
PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, workStream).CloseStream = false;
//Business logic here unrelated to the problem
List<Plant> plants = new List<Plant>();
foreach (var item in context.Plants)
{
plants.Add(item);
}
//Create a byte array that represents a PDF. The GeneratePdf appears to be correct.
byte[] byteInfo = GeneratePdf(plants);
//Even though we declared above that we want our PdfWriter to have exclusive access to the Stream,
//ignore that and write our byte array to it.
workStream.Write(byteInfo, 0, byteInfo.Length);
//Rewind the stream
workStream.Position = 0;
return new FileStreamResult(workStream, "application/pdf");
}
Hopefully those comments make sense. Your GeneratePdf() method is what makes a PDF. Once you have a valid PDF, unless you want to modify it or inspect it you no longer have any need for iTextSharp. So your first method should be changed to something like the below. (I don't have VS available right now but this should probably compile except for a possible typo or two.)
//Business logic
List<Plant> plants = new List<Plant>();
foreach (var item in context.Plants)
{
plants.Add(item);
}
//Create our PDF
byte[] byteInfo = GeneratePdf(plants);
//Wrap the bytes in a Stream and return
using( var workStream = new MemoryStream( byteInfo ) )
{
return new FileStreamResult(workStream, "application/pdf");
}
The way you've described the Exception, am making an educated guess that your problem is in a view linking to your controller/action. For example if you have a View and are creating a hyperlink like the commented section:
#* remove comment to see Exception
<h2>Exception: "OutputStream is not available when a custom TextWriter is used."</h2>
<p>
This throws an Exception
</p>
*#
<h2>Correct!</h2>
<p>
<a href="#Url.Action("IndexPdf")" target='_blank'>This works!</a>
</p>
The exact Exception you describe is thrown:
System.Web.HttpException: OutputStream is not available when a custom
TextWriter is used.
So use Url.Action().
Aside from that, a few notes about the GeneratePdf() method in your code:
Remove the Close() calls on MemoryStream and Document, since they're both in using statements.
Move the MemoryStream call to ToArray() outside the Document using block. Otherwise the PDF result may be corrupted.
A shortened example based on your code:
private static byte[] GeneratePdf(List<Plant> plants)
{
using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
{
using (var doc = new Document())
{
PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, memoryStream);
doc.Open();
doc.SetMargins(120, 120, 270, 270);
Paragraph pgTitle = new Paragraph("TEST");
doc.Add(pgTitle);
// initialize title, etc, here
// and iterate over plants here
}
// return **AFTER** Document is disposed
return memoryStream.ToArray();
}
}
And a few notes on your pdf() Action:
Maybe a typo or copy/paste error, but there's no reason for Document or PdfWriter.GetInstance()
If you return a less specific ActionResult instead of the FileStreamResult, you do not have to make an in-memory copy of the PDF. I.e. you can eliminate the MemoryStream, and instead call Controller.File(), since the first parameter is a byte array:
Another shortened example based on your code, this time for the controller action:
public ActionResult IndexPdf()
{
var plants = new List<Plant>();
// get your plants here
byte[] byteInfo = GeneratePdf(plants);
return File(byteInfo, "application/pdf");
}
I want to use to generate a pdf dataexporter, use the method preprocessor to insert some content. By giving the type letter size page assimilates well as formats of texts. Then make a page break to put the chart on a new page, right there is the problem that generates the second page with other size and also find a way to change the font size of the text of the exported table.
<h:commandLink>
<p:graphicImage value="/images/pdf.png"/>
<p:dataExporter type="pdf" target="dataTableAddDetalles" fileName="pdf" preProcessor="#{serviciosMB.preProcessPDF}"/>
</h:commandLink>
backing bean
public void preProcessPDF(Object document) throws Exception {
try {
Document pdf = (Document) document;
pdf.open();
pdf.setPageSize(PageSize.LETTER);
ServletContext servletContext = (ServletContext) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getContext();
String logo = servletContext.getRealPath("") + File.separator + "images" + File.separator + "header.gif";
// pdf.add(Image.getInstance(logo));
pdf.add(new Paragraph("EMNI", FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 22, Font.BOLD, new Color(0, 0, 0))));
SimpleDateFormat formato = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
pdf.add(new Phrase("Fecha: " + formato.format(new Date())));
pdf.newPage();
} catch (Exception e) {
//JsfUtil.addErrorMessage(e, e.getMessage());
}
}
You can't do what you want using dataexporter, you need to change your code to:
<h:commandLink actionListener="#{serviciosMB.createPDF}">
<p:graphicImage value="/images/pdf.png" />
</h:commandLink>
And your managed bean:
public void createPDF() {
try { //catch better your exceptions, this is just an example
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Document document = new Document();
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, baos);
if (!document.isOpen()) {
document.open();
}
PdfPTable pdfTable = exportPDFTable();
document.add(pdfTable);
//Keep modifying your pdf file (add pages and more)
document.close();
String fileName = "PDFFile";
writePDFToResponse(context.getExternalContext(), baos, fileName);
context.responseComplete();
} catch (Exception e) {
//e.printStackTrace();
}
}
exportPDFTable method:
private PdfPTable exportPDFTable() {
int numberOfColumns = 1;
itemOfList item = null;
PdfPTable pdfTable = new PdfPTable(numberOfColumns);
pdfTable.setWidthPercentage(100);
BaseFont helvetica = null;
try {
helvetica = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
} catch (Exception e) {
//font exception
}
Font font = new Font(helvetica, 8, Font.NORMAL);
pdfTable.addCell(new Paragraph("columnName", font));
for (int i = 0; i < lstPdfTable.size(); i++) { //lstPdfTable is the list from your datatable. A List of "itemOfList" type
item = new itemOfList();
item = lstPdfTable.get(i);
//pdfTable.addCell(new Paragraph('any_string_field', font));
pdfTable.addCell(new Paragraph(item.getStringField(), font));
}
return pdfTable;
}
and writePDFToResponse method is:
private void writePDFToResponse(ExternalContext externalContext, ByteArrayOutputStream baos, String fileName) {
try {
externalContext.responseReset();
externalContext.setResponseContentType("application/pdf");
externalContext.setResponseHeader("Expires", "0");
externalContext.setResponseHeader("Cache-Control", "must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
externalContext.setResponseHeader("Pragma", "public");
externalContext.setResponseHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" + fileName + ".pdf");
externalContext.setResponseContentLength(baos.size());
OutputStream out = externalContext.getResponseOutputStream();
baos.writeTo(out);
externalContext.responseFlushBuffer();
} catch (Exception e) {
//e.printStackTrace();
}
}
The primefaces documentation (as of 4.0) does not mention any ability to write a custom data exporter, only pre & post processors, which in the case of PDF prevents you from doing extensive modifications to data, etc.
But what you can do is create a package in your project called
org.primefaces.component.export
and copy ExporterFactory.java from primefaces source.
You can then replace the original PDFExporter call with your own implementation.
The exporter implementation is fairly simple. It uses iText library (although an outdated version) and you can easily extend it to your needs.
An obvious problem with this approach is that you may have to be extra careful when (and if) you are updating your primefaces library in the future.
I am working on blackberry project where i want to download image & save it in sd card in blackberry. By going through many sites i got some code & based on that i wrote the program but when it is executed the output screen is displaying a blank page with out any response.

This is the code which i am using. Not getting any response except blank page.. As i am new to blackberry development unable to find out what is the problem with my code. Can anyone please help me with this...... Actually i am having other doubt as like android & iphone does in blackberry simulator supports for SD card otherwise we need to add any SD card slots for this externally...
Waiting for your reply.....
To simply download and save that image to the SDCard, you can use this code. I changed your SDCard path to use the pictures folder, which I think is the standard location on BlackBerrys. If you really want to store it in images, you may just need to create the folder if it doesn't already exist.
package com.mycompany;
import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import javax.microedition.io.Connector;
import javax.microedition.io.HttpConnection;
import javax.microedition.io.file.FileConnection;
public class DownloadHelper implements Runnable {
private String _url;
public DownloadHelper(String url) {
_url = url;
}
public void run() {
HttpConnection connection = null;
OutputStream output = null;
InputStream input = null;
try {
// Open a HTTP connection to the webserver
connection = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(_url);
// Getting the response code will open the connection, send the request,
// and read the HTTP response headers. The headers are stored until requested.
if (connection.getResponseCode() == HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {
input = new DataInputStream(connection.openInputStream());
int len = (int) connection.getLength(); // Get the content length
if (len > 0) {
// Save the download as a local file, named the same as in the URL
String filename = _url.substring(_url.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
FileConnection outputFile = (FileConnection) Connector.open("file:///SDCard/BlackBerry/pictures/" + filename,
Connector.READ_WRITE);
if (!outputFile.exists()) {
outputFile.create();
}
// This is probably not a robust check ...
if (len <= outputFile.availableSize()) {
output = outputFile.openDataOutputStream();
// We'll read and write this many bytes at a time until complete
int maxRead = 1024;
byte[] buffer = new byte[maxRead];
int bytesRead;
for (;;) {
bytesRead = input.read(buffer);
if (bytesRead <= 0) {
break;
}
output.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
output.close();
}
}
}
} catch (java.io.IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
if (output != null) {
output.close();
}
if (connection != null) {
connection.close();
}
if (input != null) {
input.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
// do nothing
}
}
}
}
This class can download an image in the background, as I suggested. To use it, you can start a worker thread like this:
DownloadHelper downloader = new DownloadHelper("http://images03.olx.in/ui/3/20/99/45761199_1.jpg");
Thread worker = new Thread(downloader);
worker.start();
This will save the file as /SDCard/BlackBerry/pictures/45761199_1.jpg. I tested it on a 5.0 Storm simulator.
There are several problems with the code posted. It's also not completely clear what you're trying to do. From the question title, I assume you want to download a jpg image from the internet, and display it.
1) You implement a method called connectServerForImage() to download an image, but then it's commented out. So, the method isn't going to download anything if it's not called.
2) Even if it's uncommented, connectServerForImage() is called here
BitmapField bmpFld1=new BitmapField(connectServerForImage("http://images03.olx.in/ui/3/20/99/45761199_1.jpg"));
This will block the main (UI) thread while it downloads your image. Even though you can do it this way, it's not a good thing to do. Instead, you could create a Thread to download the image as a background task, and then use UiApplication.invokeLater() to load the image into your BitmapField on the main/UI thread.
3) Your copyFile() method tries to copy a file named rim.png, which must be an image bundled with your application, and saves it to the SDCard. Is this really what you want? Do you want to save the downloaded image instead? This method doesn't seem to be connected to anything else. It's not saving the image downloaded from the internet, and the image it does save is never used anywhere else.
4) In copyFile(), this line
fc = (FileConnection)Connector.open("file:///SDCard/BlackBerry/images/" + image, Connector.READ_WRITE);
is passing a byte[] in as part of the filename to open (your variable named image). You should probably be adding a String name to the end of your SDCard path. As the code is, it's probably opening a file in the /SDCard/BlackBerry/images/ folder with a very long name that looks like a number. Or it might fail entirely, if there are limits on the length of filenames.
5) In Java, it's not usually a good idea to make everything static. Static should normally be used for constants, and for a very few methods like the main() method, which must be static.
Try to clean these things up, and then repost the code, and we can try to help you with your problem. Thanks.
I would like to save the PhotoResult from the cameraCaptureTask into my class which I'm using as a collection and then saving into Isolated Storage:
void cameraCaptureTask_Completed(object sender, PhotoResult e)
This is part of an ObservableCollection. I want to save the photo into this collection.
[DataMember]
public Image VehicleImage
{
get
{
return _vehicleImage;
}
set
{
if (value != _vehicleImage)
{
_vehicleImage = value;
NotifyPropertyChanged("VehicleImage");
}
}
}
I'm using the example from: http://www.blog.ingenuitynow.net and in the example it works fine, but it is setting up an individual Isolated Storage and I would just like to join to my existing collection.
I'm thinking that I can't use the Image type. What would be the best way to accomplish what I'm hoping to do?
Just to answer the comment below. This is what the .Save is doing:
public static void Save<T>(string name, T objectToSave)
{
using (IsolatedStorageFile storageFile = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())
using (IsolatedStorageFileStream storageFileStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream(name, System.IO.FileMode.Create, storageFile))
{
DataContractSerializer serializer = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(T));
serializer.WriteObject(storageFileStream, objectToSave);
}
}
I think I finally figured out your issue. In your ObservableCollection I personally would not keep an image in there. Instead I would keep a BitmapSource to use less resources, however you may have reasoning why your doing that.
My Process
Convert the Image.Source(BitmapSource) to a byte[]
Save the byte[] to storage
Load the byte[] from storage
Convert the byte[] to and a Image.Source(BitmapSource)
Save Generic To Isolated Storage (In my utility class: IsolatedStorage_Utility.cs)
public static void Save<T>(string fileName, T item)
{
using (IsolatedStorageFile storage = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())
{
using (IsolatedStorageFileStream fileStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create, storage))
{
DataContractSerializer serializer = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(T));
serializer.WriteObject(fileStream, item);
}
}
}
Load Generic To Isolated Storage (In my utility class: IsolatedStorage_Utility.cs)
public static T Load<T>(string fileName)
{
using (IsolatedStorageFile storage = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())
{
using (IsolatedStorageFileStream fileStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open, storage))
{
DataContractSerializer serializer = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(T));
return (T)serializer.ReadObject(fileStream);
}
}
}
Convert BitmapSource to byte[] (In my utility class: Image_Utility.cs)
public static byte[] ImageToByteArray(BitmapSource bitmapSource)
{
using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
{
WriteableBitmap writableBitmap = new WriteableBitmap(bitmapSource);
Extensions.SaveJpeg(writableBitmap, stream, bitmapSource.PixelWidth, bitmapSource.PixelHeight, 0, 100);
return stream.ToArray();
}
}
Convert byte[] to BitmapSource (In my utility class: Image_Utility.cs)
public static BitmapSource ByteArrayToImage(byte[] bytes)
{
BitmapImage bitmapImage = null;
using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(bytes, 0, bytes.Length))
{
bitmapImage = new BitmapImage();
bitmapImage.SetSource(stream);
}
return bitmapImage;
}
Example
private void TestImageConversion(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
byte[] image1AsByteArray = Image_Utility.ImageToByteArray((BitmapSource)Image1.Source);
IsolatedStorage_Utility.Save<byte[]>("Image1.jpg", image1AsByteArray);
BitmapSource image1AsBitmapImage = Image_Utility.ByteArrayToImage(IsolatedStorage_Utility.Load<byte[]>("Image1.jpg"));
Image2.Source = image1AsBitmapImage;
}
Keep in mind this is a jpg saving. If you want to save a png thn you need to use a library of CodePlex or create your own PNGEncoder.
I hope this helps!
Actually in that blog, he knows the ImageFileName stored recently so he is able to retreive the same image from the Isolated storage. i dont think so that example helps you according to your comment.
But If you want store the Picture along with the object means you have to serialize whole object along with the picture taken.
serializing the picture is achieved by converting stream you got to byte[] array and you can convert from byte[] array to BitmapImage again.)
Image conversion and serialization is expalianed here in this link
use this sample and you can serialize with whole object.
In this example I'm excepting that you got ObservableCollection where you want to store all of the images lets say it's name is VehicleImages.
So at the cameraCaptureTask_Completed you load all of the data from IsolatedStorage to VehicleImages and now you add the new VehicleImage to VehicleImages and save it to IsolatedStorage.
Code for save and load:
public static void Save<T>(string name, T objectToSave)
{
using (IsolatedStorageFile storageFile = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())
{
using (IsolatedStorageFileStream storageFileStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream(name, System.IO.FileMode.Create, storageFile))
{
DataContractSerializer serializer = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(T));
serializer.WriteObject(storageFileStream, objectToSave);
}
}
}
public ObservableCollection<T> Read<T>(string name)
{
using (IsolatedStorageFile storageFile = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())
{
using (IsolatedStorageFileStream storageFileStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream(name, System.IO.FileMode.Open, storageFile))
{
DataContractSerializer serializer = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(T));
return (ObservableCollection<T>)serializer.ReadObject(storageFileStream);
}
}
}
