Hi Brandon
Assuming you're using PixBuf, this works:
import java.net.URL;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import org.gnome.gdk.Pixbuf;
URL u = new URL(myUrl);
BufferedImage i = ImageIO.read(u);
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ImageIO.write(i, "PNG", bos);
Pixbuf pb = new Pixbuf(bos.toByteArray());
I use it as a simple way to pull images from Web Mapping Services into PDF maps.
