- org.springframework.http.converter.BufferedImageHttpMessageConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:
HttpMessageConverter<BufferedImage>
```
public class BufferedImageHttpMessageConverter
extends Object
implements HttpMessageConverter<BufferedImage>
```
Implementation of HttpMessageConverter that can read and write BufferedImages.
By default, this converter can read all media types that are supported by the registered image readers, and writes using the media type of the first available registered image writer. The latter can be overridden by setting the defaultContentType property.
If the cacheDir property is set, this converter will cache image data.
The process(ImageReadParam) and process(ImageWriteParam) template methods allow subclasses to override Image I/O parameters.

All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`canRead(Class<?> clazz, MediaType mediaType)`	Indicates whether the given class can be read by this converter.
`boolean`	`canWrite(Class<?> clazz, MediaType mediaType)`	Indicates whether the given class can be written by this converter.

```
public BufferedImageHttpMessageConverter()
```
- Method Detail
  - setDefaultContentType
```
public void setDefaultContentType(MediaType defaultContentType)
```
    Sets the default Content-Type to be used for writing.
    Throws:
    IllegalArgumentException - if the given content type is not supported by the Java Image I/O API
  - getDefaultContentType
```
public MediaType getDefaultContentType()
```
    Returns the default Content-Type to be used for writing. Called when write(java.awt.image.BufferedImage, org.springframework.http.MediaType, org.springframework.http.HttpOutputMessage) is invoked without a specified content type parameter.
  - setCacheDir
```
public void setCacheDir(File cacheDir)
```
    Sets the cache directory. If this property is set to an existing directory, this converter will cache image data.
  - canRead
```
public boolean canRead(Class<?> clazz,
                       MediaType mediaType)
```
    Description copied from interface: HttpMessageConverter
    Indicates whether the given class can be read by this converter.
    Specified by:
    canRead in interface HttpMessageConverter<BufferedImage>
    Parameters:
    clazz - the class to test for readability
    mediaType - the media type to read (can be null if not specified); typically the value of a Content-Type header.
    Returns:
    true if readable; false otherwise
  - canWrite
```
public boolean canWrite(Class<?> clazz,
                        MediaType mediaType)
```
    Description copied from interface: HttpMessageConverter
    Indicates whether the given class can be written by this converter.
    Specified by:
    canWrite in interface HttpMessageConverter<BufferedImage>
    Parameters:
    clazz - the class to test for writability
    mediaType - the media type to write (can be null if not specified); typically the value of an Accept header.
    Returns:
    true if writable; false otherwise
  - getSupportedMediaTypes
```
public List<MediaType> getSupportedMediaTypes()
```
    Description copied from interface: HttpMessageConverter
    Return the list of MediaType objects supported by this converter.
    Specified by:
    getSupportedMediaTypes in interface HttpMessageConverter<BufferedImage>
    Returns:
    the list of supported media types, potentially an immutable copy
  - read
```
public BufferedImage read(Class<? extends BufferedImage> clazz,
                          HttpInputMessage inputMessage)
                   throws IOException,
                          HttpMessageNotReadableException
```
    Description copied from interface: HttpMessageConverter
    Read an object of the given type from the given input message, and returns it.
    Specified by:
    read in interface HttpMessageConverter<BufferedImage>
    Parameters:
    clazz - the type of object to return. This type must have previously been passed to the canRead method of this interface, which must have returned true.
    inputMessage - the HTTP input message to read from
    Returns:
    the converted object
    Throws:
    IOException - in case of I/O errors
    HttpMessageNotReadableException - in case of conversion errors
  - write
```
public void write(BufferedImage image,
                  MediaType contentType,
                  HttpOutputMessage outputMessage)
           throws IOException,
                  HttpMessageNotWritableException
```
    Description copied from interface: HttpMessageConverter
    Write an given object to the given output message.
    Specified by:
    write in interface HttpMessageConverter<BufferedImage>
    Parameters:
    image - the object to write to the output message. The type of this object must have previously been passed to the canWrite method of this interface, which must have returned true.
    contentType - the content type to use when writing. May be null to indicate that the default content type of the converter must be used. If not null, this media type must have previously been passed to the canWrite method of this interface, which must have returned true.
    outputMessage - the message to write to
    Throws:
    IOException - in case of I/O errors
    HttpMessageNotWritableException - in case of conversion errors
  - process
```
protected void process(ImageReadParam irp)
```
    Template method that allows for manipulating the ImageReadParam before it is used to read an image.
    The default implementation is empty.
  - process
```
protected void process(ImageWriteParam iwp)
```
    Template method that allows for manipulating the ImageWriteParam before it is used to write an image.
    The default implementation is empty.
