i got the image from post response
PostMethod post = new PostMethod(action);
HttpClient httpClient = createHttpClient();
........
httpClient.executeMethod(post);
try {
log.info("post successfully");
String contentType = post.getResponseHeader("Content-type").getValue();
int contentLength = (int) post.getResponseContentLength();
byte[] responseBody = FileUtils.convertInputStreamtoByteArray(post.getResponseBodyAsStream());
log.info("get response sucessfully : size "+ responseBody.length +" contentLength " + contentLength);
return new ReturnBean(null, responseBody,contentType,contentLength);
} catch (Exception e) {
log.error(e.getMessage());
log.error(e.getStackTrace());
e.printStackTrace();
throw new ResponseFailedException(e.getMessage());
}
this is how i convert inputstream to byte array.
public static byte[] convertInputStreamtoByteArray(InputStream is){
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try {
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int i = 0;
while ((i = is.read(buf)) >= 0) {
baos.write(buf, 0, i);
}
is.close();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return baos.toByteArray();
}
this is how i return the image as a response.
byte[] imageSource = (byte[])returnStream.getBean();
log.info("imageSource " + imageSource.length);
getResponse().setContentType((String) returnStream.getBean2());
getResponse().setContentLength((Integer) returnStream.getBean3());
getResponse().getOutputStream().write(imageSource);
getResponse().getOutputStream().flush();
i was able to print out the image but im having a problem because the bottom part of it is missing . i checked the size of byte that i got and it is equal to the size of actual image.
