I worked on a project that i need to transfer GIF to the applet

  • 0

I worked on a project that i need to transfer GIF to the applet from server over TCP socket.
The problem is that when i transfer the image it become static (the last frame displayed).

I tried to transfer (ICON) where i loaded the image on server side but it has the same result.

So, Is there any class to read animated gif so i can transfer it by ObjectOutputStream?
or any way else?

Server Side:

ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("D:\\Data Files\\simu.gif");
Mat_out.writeObject(icon);

Client Side:

ImageIcon icon = (ImageIcon) Mat_in.readObject();
jLabel2.setIcon(icon);

    1. Use one of the createImage(..) methods of toolkit methods of toolkit to load the image, but..
    2. Add a MediaTracker to ensure the entire image is loaded before transmitting it. (This can also work for the image returned from ImageIcon, but why create a GUI component that is not needed?)

    Alternately load the entire byte[] of the image using a blocking method, and provide that to createImage(byte[]).
