need to convert a bytearray to an image without using imageIO or fileoutputstream

I开发者_高级运维 have to send an image over a socket . so I, the client convert the image to a bytearray and send it as such.

The server.. being the applet recieves the byte array. - fine till here.

I must use Java 1.3 so NO ImageIO or Image classes.

and then since we have an applet - no fileoutputstream

Any other ways??

Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(byte[] imagedata,
                  int imageoffset,
                  int imagelength)

It returns Image and it's available @since JDK1.1 according to javadoc
