Answer 1

You can use jgravatar and than just use methods like the once bellow:

import jgravatar.Gravatar;
import jgravatar.GravatarDefaultImage;
import jgravatar.GravatarRating;

public static String getGravatar160pxUrl(String email) {
    Gravatar gravatar = new Gravatar();
    gravatar.setSize(160);
    gravatar.setRating(GravatarRating.GENERAL_AUDIENCES);
    gravatar.setDefaultImage(GravatarDefaultImage.IDENTICON);
    return gravatar.getUrl(email);
}

public static String getGravatar80pxUrl(String email) {
    Gravatar gravatar = new Gravatar();
    gravatar.setRating(GravatarRating.GENERAL_AUDIENCES);
    gravatar.setDefaultImage(GravatarDefaultImage.IDENTICON);
    return gravatar.getUrl(email);
}

Is there a reason no updates have been done in 2 years? Gravatar did not evolve? – Moonfish

Answer 3

may be you can use my gravatar4j (https://github.com/yingzhuo/gravatar4j)

just do this in you jsp

<%@ taglib prefix="gravatar4j" uri="https://github.com/yingzhuo/gravatar4j/functions" %>

and to this

<img alt="" src="${gravatar4j:from('[email protected]', 160)}">

'160' means size in pixels, by the way.
