Problem while reading PNG image through ImageIO API

[Amrut Chaudhary]

Hi,

I am using the commons-fileupload API to upload images.

I first write the image to disk and then load it via ImageIO.read(new FileInputStream("my.png")) it works fine for some PNG images but for some PNG image it gives me error like.

javax.imageio.IIOException: Error reading PNG image data

Here is the code which i wrote to read image

BufferedImage image =ImageIO.read(new FileInputStream("abc.png"));
int width = image.getWidth();
int height = image.getHeight();
System.out.println("width : "+width+"\nheight : "+height);

Firstly, have you made sure that after the upload, the files are bit-for-bit identical copies of the original files?

Secondly, be aware that web apps do not work well (or at all) with relative file paths (like "abc.png"); you should switch to using absolute paths (maybe by including the web app context root).
