convert html to tif in java??????

[11251995]

Is there a good way to convert a html file to a tif file in java?
Basically, every time when user click the submit button, I'd like to save the returned result page (a html window) to a tif file, and save it to my database.

Thanks for all your help.

I'd have thought you'd have to resort to native code to capture the screen ( or any part of it ) as an image. It is entirely likely that I am wrong, however .

Ahh, the problem with that though Tim is this app is probably a webapp - so you wouldn't (without an applet/ActiveX control) be able to do a screen dump.

I think its better to try to understand why the OP wants to do this - its daft to do it as an "audit trail" - there are better ways of auditing user data if you have to do it. Plus, saving an image of the users screen for every submit ? You'll fill up the database with cr** quicker than you can say "oh dear, I need a 100 terabyte SAN to store all these stupid images" .

Unless the OP means save the server data before returned to the client, which IMO is even dafter ...
