java web start problem

hi
can someone point to me what i'm doing wrong here..i'm trying to launch a simple applet as an application through web start using a jnlp file locally on my pc..it launches web start and then just dies..i know web start works cause i've launched test applications from the web..all the files are in the C:/java_source directory..i thouhgt i had it working earlier but was mistaken..crmloginapplet has a main class thats the entry point..that calls crmlogin where the applet is painted..if there is a better way to do this please let me know..thank you

you need to:

- create frame and add your applet to that frame
- call init()
- replace the use of getCodeBase() with something else

ok..i've changed the main entry class to be

public void start() {
}

public void destroy() {
}

static public void main( String args[] ) {

CRMLoginApplet a = new CRMLoginApplet();
a.init();
a.start();

Frame appletFrame = new Frame("Applet Window");
appletFrame.add("Center", a);
appletFrame.setSize(150,150);
appletFrame.setLocation(100,100);
appletFrame.show();

}

i've added it to a frame..what do i replace getCodeBase with?

Mick Barry

The URL of the directory on the server to find the images.
Might be better though to include the images in your jar and load them using getResource()

trance12

ASKER

i've tried this

Image introImage = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("intro.jpg"));

it gives me this erro..what am i missing?

CRMLoginApplet.java [23:1] cannot resolve symbol
symbol : constructor ImageIcon (java.net.URL)
location: class ImageIcon
Image introImage = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("intro.jpg"));

trance12

ASKER

i've included the images in the jar

trance12

ASKER

and this is the imageicon class

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.ImageObserver;
import java.applet.Applet;
public class ImageIcon extends Applet
{
private Image img;

public ImageIcon(Image i)
{
this.img = i;
}
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
//super.paint(g);
g.drawImage(img, 10, 10, this);
}
}

Mick Barry

should be:

ImageIcon introImage = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("intro.jpg"));

and make sure to import javax.swing.*

Mick Barry

Sorry I thought you were using javax.swing.ImageIcon.

> public class ImageIcon extends Applet

Everything does not need to extend Applet, in fact none of them need to :)

Mick Barry

I'd also suggest using Swing, it gives you a far richer gui.

trance12

ASKER

i tried that too...actually i want to use javax.swing..

import javax.swing.*;

ImageIcon introImage = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("intro.jpg"));

it still give me the same error?

Mick Barry

Delete your ImageIcon class, you don't need it.

trance12

ASKER

i did ..i just deleted it..it still gives me the error though??

Mick Barry

did u also delete the class file?

trance12

ASKER

yep

trance12

ASKER

this is the init part

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.Vector;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class CRMLoginApplet extends Applet {

public void init() {

String customerCareEmail = "akash.hegde@peopletelecom.com.au";

ImageIcon introImage = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("intro.jpg"));
ImageIcon okImage = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("ok.jpg"));
ImageIcon nothanksImage = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("nothanks.jpg"));

}

Mick Barry

that should be fine, check you don't still have a copy of ImageIcon.class somewhere on your classpath.

aozarov

You an make it more explicit by doing:
javax.swing.ImageIcon introImage = new javax.swing.ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("intro.jpg"));
Note, that intro.jpg should be in the same place as this class (if that class is inside its packge and the image is in the root
of the jar then you can replace "intro.jpg" with "/intro.jpg")

trance12

ASKER

not sure what i'm doing wrong here

ImageIcon introImage = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("intro.jpg"));
ImageIcon okImage = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("ok.jpg"));
ImageIcon nothanksImage = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("nothanks.jpg"));

setLayout( new BorderLayout() );

try {

add( "Center",new CRMLogin(this,customerCareEmail,introImage,okImage,nothanksImage));

in crmlogin, its compiled fine..

public CRMLogin(final Applet a, final String cust, final String custno,ImageIcon introImage, ImageIcon okimage, ImageIcon nothanks) {

i get this error:

CRMLoginApplet.java [27:1] cannot resolve symbol
symbol : constructor CRMLogin (CRMLoginApplet,java.lang.String,javax.swing.ImageIcon,javax.swing.ImageIcon,javax.swing.ImageIcon)
location: class CRMLogin
add( "Center",new CRMLogin(this,customerCareEmail,introImage,okImage,nothanksImage));

Mick Barry

> add( "Center",new CRMLogin(this,customerCareEmail,introImage,okImage,nothanksImage));

> CRMLogin(final Applet a, final String cust, final String custno,ImageIcon introImage, ImageIcon okimage, ImageIcon nothanks)

It expects two strings, customer and customerNo

thanks..web start loads it fien without the images..when i include the iamge icons, it just launches and dissapears again..

ImageIcon introImage = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("intro.jpg"));
ImageIcon okImage = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("ok.jpg"));
ImageIcon nothanksImage = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("nothanks.jpg"));

add( "Center",new CRMLogin(this,customerCareEmail,introImage,okImage,nothanksImage));

i'm loading images onto jpanel in CRMLogin

jPanel2 = new CRMImageJPanel(introImage.getImage());
jPanel2.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(255, 255, 255));
jPanell.add(jPanel2);
jPanel2.setBounds(10, 10, 510, 160);

anything wrong with the above or should i be loading images in a different way?

Thanks

Mick Barry

thats fine, where are the images located? They should be in the same directory as the class file.

(You can check the JWS console for any errors)

trance12

ASKER

same directory as the class files..no console errors thats the weird thing

Mick Barry

> same directory as the class files

in the jar?

> no console errors thats the weird thing

you sure you're not ignoring any exceptions?

trance12

ASKER

sorry..dont worry..it worked fine..i forgot to include the iamges in my jnlp file..just one last think how to i control the size of the window that opens up when i lauch web start..currently it just opens it with the min and max buttosn and when i enlarge it, it goes to full screen..is there a away i can set the size of the opening screen?
