Sanselan Usage

[Brian Arnold <br...@gmail.com>]

I'm attempting to use the Sanselan library to add metadata to a TIFF file,
however, I don't know how to accomplish this. I've successfully accomplished
this with a Jpeg, but I don't know what changes need to be done to co-opt
this code for TIFFs. I'll be seperating out the primary sections of code to
a common function, but I've simplified the Jpeg code for posting here. So,
any thoughts on how to accomplish doing the same with a TIFF?


import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import org.apache.sanselan.*;
import org.apache.sanselan.common.*;
import org.apache.sanselan.formats.tiff.TiffImageMetadata;
import org.apache.sanselan.formats.tiff.write.TiffImageWriterLossless;
import org.apache.sanselan.formats.tiff.write.TiffOutputDirectory;
import org.apache.sanselan.formats.tiff.write.TiffOutputField;
import org.apache.sanselan.formats.tiff.write.TiffOutputSet;

public void DoSomething(String tagName, String tagValue){

  File inputFile = getInputFile();
  IImageMetadata data = null;
  OutputStream os = null;


  data = Sanselan.getMetadata(inputFile);




  TiffOutputSet outputSet = null;
  outputSet = getExif(data);




  TiffOutputField imageHistoryPre = outputSet.findField(tag);


  if (imageHistoryPre != null) {
   outputSet.removeField(tag);
  }


  TiffOutputField imageId = new TiffOutputField(tag, fieldType,
tagValue.length(), tagValue.getBytes());

  TiffOutputDirectory exifDirectory = outputSet.getOrCreateExifDirectory();
  exifDirectory.add(imageId);




//everything after this is where I get confused.
  File temp;
  temp = File.createTempFile("FileTaggingProcessingFile", null);
  os = new FileOutputStream(temp);
  os = new BufferedOutputStream(os);






  if (data instanceof JpegImageMetadata) {
   new ExifRewriter().updateExifMetadataLossless(inputFile, os, outputSet);
  }

  if (os != null) {
   os.close();
  }

  getInputFile().delete();

  temp.renameTo(getInputFile());
}
