Outgoing File Transfer problems

i’‘m having a weird run-time error that I don’'t even know how to approach.

Snippet of my code:

BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream (screens[0]));

File screenshot = new File(“snapshot.png”);

screenshot.createNewFile();

ImageIO.write(image, “png”, screenshot);

FileTransferManager transferManager = new FileTransferManager(jabber);

                                    OutgoingFileTransfer transferFile = transferManager.createOutgoingFileTransfer("hsholter@jabber.cssb.mb.ca/vpn2");

try

{

System.out.println(“attempting to send file”);

transferFile.sendFile(screenshot, “desktop screenshot”);

System.out.println(“File transfer has started”);

/*while(!transferFile.isDone())

{

System.out.println(“not done”);

if (transferFile.getStatus().equals(FileTransfer.Status.REFUSED))

{

System.out.println(“file transfer was refused!”);

break;

}

try

{

Thread.sleep(100);

}

catch (InterruptedException e)

{

e.printStackTrace();

}

}*/

}

Hey Heather,

What behavior are you experiencing that is a runtime error? Also, did you know that you can send the stream direct to the other user without needing to send it by writing a file to the file system?

Thanks,

Alex

Yeah, I know I can send it as a stream. I want to create it as a file so i have a copy of the image on our server machine.

When I press reject the file transfer - nothing bad happens.

When I press accept on the file transfer - i get that exception spitting out that I posted above.

Heather,

Could you post the complete exception you are seeing?

Thanks,

Alex

That error looks vaguely familiar from another issue I was having… Try running with -Dsmack.debugEnabled=true.

When the debugger pops up check the smack info tab, and see what IQ Providers and Extension Providers you have loaded. I found the issue was with my classpath, I think it as a smack-config.xml file that wasn’'t on it, or something like that.
