Hi    
  I need to save the contents of one AWT Image in a blob field of one
Dataset, but I'm having problems to convert one AWT Image to a Binary
Stream:
  I Try the following code (this was posted in database group):
01-      URL theURL = new URL(URLEditField.getText()); // URLEdit
contains the Image URL
02-      Image Im1 = getImage(theURL);
03-      ByteArrayOutputStream f = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
04-      ObjectOutput  s  =  new  ObjectOutputStream(f);
05-      s.writeObject(Im1);  // Generate one exception
06-//      s.flush();  // Necessary ?
07-      ByteArrayInputStream i = new
ByteArrayInputStream(f.toByteArray());
08-      queryDataSet1.editRow();
09-      queryDataSet1.setBinaryStream("MAPA", i );
10-      queryDataSet1.saveChanges();
   But when i run the program one exception is generated in the line 05.
(because I'm mixing apples and oranges on line 05 :) )
  So, How can i write one image to s ? 

  The setBinaryStream (line 09) requires one InputStream to work ...
when i read the image from a file with FileInputStream, the code works
fine ... without need of the ObjectOutputStream ...

Regards and Thanks in advance for any help
