How to capture image using external webcam in jsp ?

Please provide code for capturing image using webcam : Whensoever a jsp page gets loaded up, webcam must be switched on in webpage. On the click of capture button it must capture image into an image folder.

JSP is not going to be of any help to you with this. JSP is simply a server-side templating engine for generating HTML pages.

I want to capture image from webcam on my webpage, how can I do using HTML5 or J-query

[Bear Bibeault]

Neither of HTML5 or jQuery will help as HTML and JavaScript have no access to the hardware of the client system. Think of the security nightmare that would ensue could any old web page start the client's webcam or other hardware.

You'll likely need some heavyweight fat client running on the client, or perhaps to write a browser extension.

You can also think of Flash as an option.

[Rob Crowther]

Actually, JavaScript will have access to cameras and other devices just as soon as support picks up.

But that doesn't help now or with legacy browsers. It will be many years before that's a viable option. The OP needs to explore alternate mechanisms for now.
