I am trying to develop a video sharing website where user can upload a video and as soon as the video is uploaded , a thumbnail image is created for that video . This is done with Xuggler. This works fine , but when i do it second time, or next times , it do not generate the images . Any idea why ? The videos are getting uploaded next times but the images are not generated for them. When the Web application is run for the first time , and the user uploads a video , only that time the image is generated. Therefore in order to generate the images for every upload I am having to restart my server(Tomcat). What is the cure for this ??? I am listing my code below, i hope I will be guided with good response.
this code is from index.jsp , the first page of my Web Application , the user will upload a video from this page :

During the uploading an image is generated with Main.java from the video using Xuggler :

The problem as I stated before is that when i run my application , the video gets uploaded and the image gets generated that time, but next time when i upload videos, only the video gets uploaded not the images. I have to restart Tomcat to achieve the same again, so please help. Thanks in advance and sorry for making this a long topic.
Try removing the
statickeyword for these two variables in the Main class:If you make them static their value will be kept across calls and I doubt this is really what you want. Correct me if I’m wrong.
