Problems loading image into a JLabel located in a JScrollPane

[M Miller]

I successfully loaded an image into a JLabel.
I wanted to be able to scoll the image so I put the JLabel into a JScrollPane and now the image will not load into the JLabel.
The control is done by a button off to the side and the actionPerformed method has the logic below:
Image image = null;
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon
(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage("C:\\FILES\\finger1.jpg"));
jLabel2.setIcon(icon);
this.repaint();
Do you know what I have to do to get the image to pop up into the JScrollPane with the JLabel in the JScrollPane?
Is this possible?
Send help, I am a JBuilder newbie.
Thanks,
Melanie.

Is jLabel2 the label that is in your JScrollPane? If so, you shouldn't have to do anything to get the image to show up...

Here's a really quick example of an application that loads an image and shows it in a scroll pane:

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
 
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
 
public class ImageLoad extends JFrame {
    
    private JLabel imageLabel;
    
    public ImageLoad() {
        imageLabel = new JLabel();
        JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane( imageLabel );
        getContentPane().add( sp, BorderLayout.CENTER );
        
        JPanel p = new JPanel();
        p.setLayout( new FlowLayout( FlowLayout.CENTER ) );
        JButton load = new JButton( "Load" );
        load.addActionListener( new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
                JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
                int result = chooser.showOpenDialog( ImageLoad.this );
                if ( result == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION && 
                     chooser.getSelectedFile() != null ) {
                    ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon( 
                            chooser.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath() );
                    imageLabel.setIcon( icon ); 
                }
            }
        } );
        p.add( load ); 
        getContentPane().add( p, BorderLayout.SOUTH );
    }
    
    public static void main( String[] args ) {
        JFrame f = new ImageLoad();
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
        f.setSize( 300, 300 );
        f.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
        f.setVisible( true );
    }
}
