Re: blobs in a client/server environment

Hello,
I did set the encoding to UNICODE and it still does not show the blob
image.
My error from the JIMI library is the following:

Error getting remote image: Cannot find encoder for type: png
com.sun.jimi.core.JimiException: Cannot find encoder for type: png
at com.sun.jimi.core.JimiWriter.<init>(JimiWriter.java:51)
at com.sun.jimi.core.Jimi.putImage(Jimi.java:670)
at org.opensimpx.client.gui.ClientGUI.setupGUI(ClientGUI.java:218)
at org.opensimpx.client.gui.ClientGUI.<init>(ClientGUI.java:148)
at org.opensimpx.client.gui.ClientGUI.main(ClientGUI.java:421)
at org.opensimpx.client.login.Login.startClient(Login.java:535)
at org.opensimpx.client.login.Login.main(Login.java:340)

So it does read the stream as a png. I don't think this is a JIMI
library error, since I have created many images with the jimi library,
and it is very easy to use. It must be something that I missed.

I will look at it again and see what else I can do with the database.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Matt
