Hi,
      Can anyone provide a fully functional code to open and display a
tiff file in java or using java advanced imaging.Fully functional with
no errors.I am not looking for open source software to open the
images.Just java code .
John

This is by no means a complete answer.

Does the following code work for all image types?

Hope it helps.  If not, sorry.

========== SimpleJAITest.java ==========
import javax.media.jai.*;
import javax.media.jai.widget.*;
import javax.swing.*;

/** Sample program that loads an image and displays it. */

public class SimpleJAITest
{
    public static void main(String argv[])
    {
        ParameterBlockJAI loadPB;
        RenderedOp loadImage;

        JFrame window;
        ScrollingImagePanel panel;

        // Create input image by reading argv[0]

        loadPB = new ParameterBlockJAI("fileload");
        loadPB.set(argv[0], "filename");
        loadImage = JAI.create("fileload", loadPB);

        // Display the original image

        window = new JFrame("original: " + argv[0]);
        panel  = new ScrollingImagePanel(loadImage, 300, 300);
        window.getContentPane().add(panel);
        window.pack();
        window.show();
    }
}
