Error when getting ressource in JApplet

Hi,
In my HTML page I use a JApplet,
in the code tag I have my JApplet class,
in the archive tag I have the name of the .jar

<applet code="client.ui.Client_GUI_Frame.class"
archive="Client.jar"
      name="Le Hall"
...

I have this exception :

java.lang.NullPointerException
      at javax.swing.ImageIcon.<init>(Unknown Source)
      at client.ui.AnimationPane.créerActionsSecToolbarContacts(AnimationPane.java:95)
...

I have the error at this line :

Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(ClassLoader.getSystemResource(path));

The path is correct

CEHJ

Use

getImage(new URL(getCodeBase(), "/images/x.jpg"));

with the correct path

Thx, but I have an error with getCodeBase,
it is not in the JApplet class, (in a abstract class)

CEHJ

It's inherited:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/applet/Applet.html#getCodeBase()

matthew016

ASKER

I use getCodeBase not in the class that extends JApplet class, but in an other class of my JApplet.
I have an error with getCodeBase()

(my code works whn run it from Eclipse before posting this questio, but not from the html)

CEHJ

Try something like

Image i = javax.imageio.ImageIO(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/images/x.jpg"));

Mick Barry

make sure your image is in your jar, and use:

ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource(path));

>>CEHJ
>>Image i = javax.imageio.ImageIO(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/images/x.jpg"));

this doesn't compile

>>objects
>>make sure your image is in your jar

Yes they are in the jar, I can see it trough winrar

>>ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource(path));

I have an error at getClass(), it says rename in file, why ?
+ I need an Image, not ImageIcon, I suppose I can convert

Sorry

Image i = javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/images/x.jpg"));

Mick Barry

can u post the exact error

> + I need an Image, not ImageIcon, I suppose I can convert

no need, you can access Image using getImage() method

matthew016

ASKER

I guess I can't use getClass because i'm in a static method

matthew016

ASKER

public static Image getImage(String path){
return javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/images/x.jpg")); //error
}

Mick Barry

> I guess I can't use getClass because i'm in a static method

correct, in that case just use the class anme directly:

public static Image getImage(String path){
return new ImageIcon(MyClass.class.getResource(path)).getImage();
// or return javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(MyClass.class.getResourceAsStream("/images/x.jpg"));
}

Mick Barry

> at javax.swing.ImageIcon.<init>(Unknown Source)

u appear to be creating an ImageIcon, so why not return it directly

public static ImageIcon getImage(String path){
return new ImageIcon(MyClass.class.getResource(path));
}

matthew016

ASKER

> u appear to be creating an ImageIcon, so why not return it directly
Yes I know, but this function is used for other thing, I can't change it, nvm.

I have this as result :
I just can't have the image ...

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
      at javax.swing.ImageIcon.<init>(Unknown Source)
      at client.ui.images.Images.getImage(Images.java:46)
      at client.ui.images.Images.newImageIcon(Images.java:42)
      at client.ui.images.Images.<clinit>(Images.java:20)

public static Image getImage(String path){
      return new ImageIcon(Images.class.getResource(path)).getImage();
}

I post a bit more code about the class :

public abstract class Images {

public static final ImageIcon VERY_HAPPY = newImageIcon("client/ui/images/smileys/veryhappy.gif");
public static final ImageIcon HAPPY = newImageIcon("client/ui/images/smileys/happy.gif");
public static final ImageIcon SAD = newImageIcon("client/ui/images/smileys/sad.gif");
public static final ImageIcon WINK = newImageIcon("client/ui/images/smileys/wink.gif");

public static final ImageIcon PROFIL = newImageIcon("client/ui/images/navbar/write.gif");
public static final ImageIcon TCHAT = newImageIcon("client/ui/images/navbar/home.gif");
public static final ImageIcon SALONS = newImageIcon("client/ui/images/navbar/folder_up.gif");
public static final ImageIcon OPTIONS = newImageIcon("client/ui/images/navbar/write.gif");

//TODO mieux gerer !!! retravailler ce truc
public static final ImageIcon IGNORE = newImageIcon("client/ui/images/other/cross.gif");
public static final ImageIcon IGNORE2 = newImageIcon("client/ui/images/other/cross2.gif");
public static final ImageIcon GHOST = newImageIcon("client/ui/images/other/cross2.gif");
public static final ImageIcon IGNOREYOU = newImageIcon("client/ui/images/other/cross2.gif");
public static final ImageIcon IG_IGYOU_GHOST = merge(getImage("client/ui/images/other/cross.gif"), getImage("client/ui/images/other/cross2.gif"));
public static final ImageIcon IG_IGYOU = merge(getImage("client/ui/images/other/cross.gif"), getImage("client/ui/images/other/cross2.gif"));
public static final ImageIcon IG_GHOST = merge(getImage("client/ui/images/other/cross.gif"), getImage("client/ui/images/other/cross2.gif"));
public static final ImageIcon IGYOU_GHOST = merge(getImage("client/ui/images/other/cross.gif"), getImage("client/ui/images/other/cross2.gif"));

public static ImageIcon newImageIcon(String path){
return new ImageIcon( getImage(path) );
}

public static Image getImage(String path){
      return new ImageIcon(Images.class.getResource(path)).getImage();
}

....

}


And again, without the jar, in eclipse, I can see the images,
But when I make a jar for the applet, I have the errors above.

>>objects

the first image is in
client/ui/images/navbar/write.gif

class Images has the following package declaration:
package client.ui.images;

So I put the path like this in class Images :
public static final ImageIcon PROFIL = newImageIcon("navbar/write.gif");

But it stills gives me an error when I want to access this image.

Mick Barry

and you've verified that the images are in the jar
and that you aren't loading the classes from somewhere other than the jar

matthew016

ASKER

I can see class Images in the jar in :
Client.jar\client\ui\images

And the images in I can see class Images in the jar in :
Client.jar\client\ui\images\navbar

matthew016

ASKER

oops type error

And the images in :
Client.jar\client\ui\images\navbar

Mick Barry

and the Images class is not visible anywhere else?
ie. if you remove the Images class from the jar then it would fail to load

matthew016

ASKER

Yes, then I have :

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: client/ui/images/Images

CEHJ

>>Then I need to change everything to BufferedImage in my code ... :(

No. BufferedImage *is an* Image

> I have this error with ImageIO

usiung ImageIO is not going to make any difference.
Problem is nothing to do with loading the images, it is with finding them.

matthew016

ASKER

Ok I have no problems anymore :

I had a problem when getting the "PROFILE" image

public static final ImageIcon PROFIL = newImageIcon("navbar/write.gif");

So I tried to solve that problem,
without putting the correct paths to the other images
(because they were relative to the project and not the class).

And since I put the correct paths to the other images, everythinbg works now ...
I don't why it had put an error on PROFILE image since I corrected that one ....
weird error.

Anyway thx !
