Answer 1

Displays an image read from a URL within a JFrame. urlLocation URL pointing to an image.

public class ShowImageFromURL {

    public static void show(String urlLocation) {
        Image image = null;
        try {
            URL url = new URL(urlLocation);
            URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
            conn.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0");

            conn.connect();
            InputStream urlStream = conn.getInputStream();
            image = ImageIO.read(urlStream);

            JFrame frame = new JFrame();
            JLabel lblimage = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(image));
            frame.getContentPane().add(lblimage, BorderLayout.CENTER);
            frame.setSize(image.getWidth(null) + 50, image.getHeight(null) + 50);
            frame.setVisible(true);

        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("Something went wrong, sorry:" + e.toString());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Answer 2

URL url = new URL("http://www.digitalphotoartistry.com/rose1.jpg");
Image image = ImageIO.read(url);  

or

URL url = new URL("http://www.digitalphotoartistry.com/rose1.jpg");
java.awt.Image image = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(url);   

Update:

This code works for me Try checking your URL.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
   URL imageURL = new URL("http://www.digitalphotoartistry.com/rose1.jpg");
    // Case 1
    RenderedImage img = ImageIO.read(imageURL);
    System.out.println(img);
}

output:

BufferedImage@e80a59: type = 5 ColorModel: #pixelBits = 24 numComponents = 3 col
or space = java.awt.color.ICC_ColorSpace@1ff5ea7 transparency = 1 has alpha = fa
lse isAlphaPre = false ByteInterleavedRaster: width = 553 height = 737 #numDataE
lements 3 dataOff[0] = 2

Answer 3

From the docs:

If no registered ImageReader claims to be able to read the resulting stream, null is returned.

Could it be that you have no registered ImageReader for the image type?
