RE: Screen capture to an image file - GIF, JPEG, whatever

You're correct it's in that book and I think the code is online at ora.com.
 
Cheers,
 
Jim

Seems like I remember Jason Hunter discussing how to do something similar to
this in his Java Servlet Programming (O'Reilley) book.  I don't have the
book with me at the moment so I can't look up the discussion to see if it is
exactly what you need, but you might try looking at his technique.  If I
remember correctly, he is discussing how to serve images from a servlet.  If
I'm totally off base I apologize.

Hi all, 

I have been wrestling with this task and I hope I haven't overlooked 
something easy. 
If I have, will someone please disappoint me? 

I know I can use java.awt.Robot to capture the screen to an Image 
(BufferedImage). 
But I don't know how to convert the raw image data to a standard format. 

I can't use a third party component that involves licensing or anything like

that. 

Is there a reasonable way to do this? 


Thanks 
Chris
