[RESOLVED] Adding image to Java Application

[Dungeon Keeper]

Hi to all,

As a part of my college project i have to make an online auction application, I have made all except one thing. I need a client application to load item picture.
The idea was that the picture will be on server, and its address stored in a database. Client clicks on an item, application loads its image address from database and opens that image in current frame, or in some of its component.

So im stuck here, i have image address in a String but i cannot load the image because i dont know how.

Help please!



I have the second question.
How to load local picture into applet, from the same disk.
I need an applet on a web page and it to load the picture from its directory.
Just need the code to load the picture.

		panel.setPreferredSize( new Dimension(500, 500) );	
		getContentPane().add( panel ); 
 		panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout()); 		
 		JPanel southPanel = new JPanel();
 		JButton button = new JButton( "Hello" );
 		southPanel.setOpaque(true);
 		button.setOpaque(true);
 		southPanel.add(button); 		
 		add(southPanel, BorderLayout.NORTH); 	
 	//	southPanel.add(button);
 	//	southPanel.add(b);		
	} 
	public static void main(String [] args)
	{
		GUI2 frame = new GUI2();
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		frame.setSize(450,  250);
		frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
		frame.setVisible(true);
	}
}

Thank you very much. Ive got the point how is it done

Where does this Winter.jpg needs to be placed? In which folder?
Where my .class files are?

the applet will be running on the client and you wanted your pictures to be on a server.

Ensure that the directory where the images are on the server is accessible
and from that you can try

icon = new ImageIcon("\\\\server\\imagedir\\Winter.jpg");

thanks oceanebelle but i think ill make an applet on server side
Its easier this way.
