I'm attempting to send an email with an image. The image could be an attachment, or it could be imbedded. I don't have a preference. I am reading the image from a database and through a third party API I get a Point[]. I use the point array to create a BufferedImage. I'd like to try to attach the BufferedImage to the email. I have found sample code to attach an image from a file, but I'd rather not write my image to a file. My problem would be solved if I could create a DataSource from a Buffered image. I'd appreciate any advice.
// code to create the BufferedImage
Point[] pointArray = ...;
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(200, 200, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D g2 = image.createGraphics();
g2.setColor(Color.white);
g2.fillRect(0, 0, 200, 200);
g2.setColor(Color.black);
Point lastPoint = null;
for (int i = 0; i < pointArray.length; i++)
{
if (-1 == pointArray[i].x && -1 == pointArray[i].y)
{
lastPoint = null;
continue;
}
if (null != lastPoint)
{
g2.drawLine(lastPoint.x, lastPoint.y, pointArray[i].x, pointArray[i].y);
}
lastPoint = pointArray[i];
}
g2.dispose();
// end BufferedImage Code
