Hi, basically I have a bunch of jpegs on a computer (server) and it loads fine in my swing app if I run it in the same computer since my imageicon in the swing app is set to a folder in the same directory as my runnable jar file. The source of the imageicon comes from a string with the path retrieved from a column in a mysql database on the same computer. But I was thinking if I installed a swing app on another computer (client) and accessed the database with the path and loaded it in the imageicon in that computer (client), I don't think it will load since the image files are stored in the server. Is there a way to load images that is stored in a remote computer in a LAN connection? Any help would be nice thanks.
