I am trying to read the following image

enter image description here

But it is showing IIOException.

Here is the code:

Image image = null;
URL url = new URL("http://bks6.books.google.ca/books?id=5VTBuvfZDyoC&printsec=frontcover&img=1& zoom=5&edge=curl&source=gbs_api");
image = ImageIO.read(url);
jXImageView1.setImage(image);

Directly calling a URL to get an image may concern with major security issues. You need to ensure that you have sufficient rights to access that resource. However You can use ByteOutputStream to read image file. This is an example (Its just an example, you need to do necessary changes as per your requirement.)

ByteArrayOutputStream bis = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
InputStream is = null;
try {
  is = url.openStream ();
  byte[] bytebuff = new byte[4096]; 
  int n;

  while ( (n = is.read(bytebuff)) > 0 ) {
    bis.write(bytebuff, 0, n);
  }
}
