Where is source code for createImage(byte[] imagedata, int imageoffset, int imageleng

[shall]

As shown on java.awt: Toolkit.java, the toolKit classes createImage(byte[] imagedata) member function calls createImage(imagedata, 0, imagedata.length).

Where is the source code for createImage(byte[] imagedata, int imageoffset, int imagelength)?

Toolkit (Java Platform SE 6)

"Subclasses of the Toolkit class are used to bind the various components to particular native toolkit implementations."

and

Most applications should not call any of the methods in this class directly. The methods defined by Toolkit are the "glue" that joins the platform-independent classes in the java.awt package with their counterparts in java.awt.peer. Some methods defined by Toolkit query the native operating system directly.

The Toolkit object is an abstract class that provides an interface to platform-specific details like window size, available fonts, and printing. Every platform that supports Java must provide a concrete class that extends the Toolkit class

Thanks for the link to the book.

Ok, where can I find the platform specific source code for createImage(byte[] imagedata, int imageoffset, int imagelength)?

[eRaaaa]

oO - for which platform? There a several implementations: sun.awt: abstract public class: SunToolkit

Windows 7.

Are you serious? ....
System.out.println(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit());

System.out.println(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit()) returned sun.awt.windows.WToolkit.

I looked in OpenJDK\jdk\src\windows\classes\sun\awt\windows\WT oolkit.java and I didn't find any createImage(byte[] imagedata, int imageoffset, int imagelength).

Ok, I found out the WToolkit extends the SunToolkit which implements the createImage(byte[] imagedata, int imageoffset, int imagelength). Thanks.

The SunToolkit class createImage(byte[] imagedata, int imageoffset, int imagelength) member function calls createImage(new ByteArrayImageSource(data, offset, length)).

I couldn't find an associated createImage(ByteArrayImageSource ...) function.

Does anyone know where its located?

I noticed that ByteArrayImageSource extends InputStreamImageSource and that InputStreamImageSource implements ImageProducer .

Does that mean that public Image createImage(ImageProducer producer) would be called? If so, why?

Does that mean that public Image createImage(ImageProducer producer) would be called?

Yes

If so, why?

?? What do you mean with why? Why not? :) Strange questions.

I wasn't exactly sure that a ByteArrayImageSource could be thought of some sort of ImageProducer. But I'm fairly sure it can after reading another post about classes and interfaces.

I was trying to figure out where the implementation for EntityManager was and found this thread. Using grep (The println trick, above, would have saved me some time.) I figured out that it was implemented in eclipse/persistence/internal/jpa/EntityManagerImpl.java but being kind of old school I wanted to know how java knew to go there.

My guess is that the compiler maps all of the functions in all of the libraries in the build path and grabs the first implementation he sees. Is that right?
