Are you basically registering file-type handlers? I'm just guessing at all of this, since I've never done anything besides use ImageIO for mundane operations like loading, saving, and re-sizing images. Have you called ImageIO.scanForPlugins()? The documentation gives light detains on how the plug-ins are found: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/imageio/ImageIO.html#scanForPlugins%28%29 What version of Java are you using? >> Perhaps you have to place youe plugins under an "endorsed" >> directory (i.e. one specified via JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS environment >> variable when using Tomcat startup scripts). >> >> - -chris >> > > Well, I think this is how it's "supposed" to be done.

Just make sure that your JAR file has all the resources in the right place(s) and it "should" work. Testing outside of Tomcat should be easy: just write a small harness that tries to e.g. load an image of one of those exotic types that the JVM doesn't already recognize, and make sure that CLASSPATH is correct when running it. If that works, it should work in Tomcat, too, since the ClassLoader should always be the WebappClassLoader, whose resource list includes all JAR files in WEB-INF/lib and all files rooted in WEB-INF/classes - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJSMI4FAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYISYQALXbDqfYjkotZq24fjJutG7A wDdbFGY9a+eM27iZvHpPQAkuCmLTrD16uNyuAcQRBpoZb3ciaE5ZQwOcwBt620qM Ia5th3e2SM303GaQ6MCfnreLOr2UqIeJhcbnv8+y/65XAAVik9hYhXY1KHNVRQLJ srJMFMT+XeSjI2YLeIwRz8gEUZDh8wAaVCMe3M/smmQSsOFbRy+3rkbCv2Qr+isA MDdgZlz8KCtNUg7Gg3ycTMk9gIYOcLN0hhOr7SAWjOok9a9FEe+g6BelWf8FwRQK KGz//xS3ICoCn8q3hyAZ7dzqtK12AV5V+bV0qduNheqgouzdxwjI0yzJJd2vtk1+ wFlmtLE8fooAsne7kESyPhRvpQEir001pXftCJmef4hKqa5nr5YQY5HCgC3Pp3TG Gy0IpBmxEo5FI3hcbJKq5nIae8qBmNKIrmwO88+hFqaG+cQFzXPmZnio4QYTk7xQ QLyMHtqdGz5yxPupMpeWa2plfA4n9qe/4ex83njIGcaICh26Bulb4McV/5yBVgTz +YkoD7HYkbpNnvcU8EaE4QCYIbq256GPt3mLt3Jmz/056xPnFPG0J3MdBHSuz//t jqjN/uuSdJaOEN80Yqqbc4+3P9p+3RzYFFCV1CYE+tvFDyYXWwsWkGlbqRmPOdx6 /6fWPb42Xc2oRw1Uvhp5 =AI2a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
