Getting height and width of image in Java

Yesterday I was working on something that requires manipulation of image for getting its properties. After searching over the internet I found a very intersting class on Java i.e ImageIO and BufferedImage class. These classes are good enough to manipulate images. there are many other claases also. But what I need i got it from these. I found many developers searching over internet for getting properties of image and there is no good small example for that. Thats why I thought why not creating a simple code to manipulate the image and help the developers. Here is the small code that helps to get the height and width of the image. Enjoy it!! import java.awt.image.BufferedImage; import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; import javax.imageio.ImageIO; public class GetImage { public static void main(String[] args) { try { File f = new File("E:/Vinod/Docs/Pics/krishna_01.jpg"); BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(f); int height = image.getHeight(); in

Struts 2 Ajax drop down Example

Struts 2 has emerged as boon for developers. But the documentation available is very small. So I had decided to give a brief demonstration of the ajax used in struts 2.1.8.1 Libraries used: commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar commons-fileupload-1.2.jar commons-logging-1.1.jar commons-logging-api-1.1.jar freemarker-2.3.8.jar struts2-core-2.1.8.1.jar struts2-dojo-plugin-2.1.8.1.jar xwork-core-2.1.6.jar In this example when u select from one drop down the other will populate accordingly. You can use it as it is or play with it. Enjoy !! index.jsp <%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %> <s:action name="ListingAction" executeResult="true"></s:action> listing.jsp <%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%> <%@ taglib prefix="sx" uri="/struts-dojo-tags"%> Listing detail.jsp <%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"
