[java] getImage: avoiding cache

getImage loads an image from the hard disk. Do you mean if you cange the image on the hard disk, and you call getImage again, you get the old image? If so, writing your own image reader might help.

I am using the getImage from java.applet.Applet so it loads the image over the net - therefore java caches the image by deafault. I want to avoid the caching.

Use ImageIO instead.
