From the Javadocs for ImageIO.read()

Returns a BufferedImage as the result of decoding a supplied File with an ImageReader chosen automatically from among those currently registered. The File is wrapped in an ImageInputStream. If no registered ImageReader claims to be able to read the resulting stream, null is returned.

Try creating an ImageInputStream, then pass that onto the ImageIO.read() method, instead of sending the file itself.
