Howto create 256 color bufferimage with transparency

[metal13]

I need to create a 256 color bufferedimage in Java. It has to have transparency as well. Right now, my code makes a 24-bit color image. This image will get saved as a png, which IE then fails to render properly. I need to make this image 256 colors.

Thanks for any help
