To read a gif file from a jar

I have made an application which requires some .gif images.
I packed all the classes and .gif's in a jar file.
I have used no package statement in files, all are in one folder.
While retrieving the .gif file from the jar I have used..
Image img1 = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("Lock.gif"));
ImageIcon i1=new ImageIcon(img1,"No Users");
but this does not works and throws nullpointer exception.
I have also tried getClass().getResource() etc.
But none of the methods are working..
Plz. help.

Hi,
Use a / with the name of your gif e.g.
frame().setIconImage((new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/myimage.gif")).getImage()));

Is the class that is loading the image contained in a package? If the resource name does not start with a forward slash, it is interpreted as relative to the package of your class(when doing getClass().getResource())

Reading an xml file from a jar file

Short question:
Is it possible to read an xml file from a jar file when the dtd is
placed inside the jar file? I am using jdom (SAXBuilder) and the default
sax parser which comes with it.
Long Question:
I am trying to create an enterprise archive file on Weblogic 6.1. We
have a framework that is similar to the struts framework which uses it's
own configuration files
I could place the dtd files outside the jar ear file and specify the
absolute path in an environment variable in web.xml which is
configurable through the admin console.
But I want to avoid this step and specify a relative path within the jar
file.
I have tried to use a class which implements the entityresolver as well
as try to extend the saxparser and set the entity resolver within this
class explicitly, but I always seem to sun into problems like:
The setEntityresolver method does not get called or there is a
classloader problem. i.e. JDOM complains that it cannot load My custom
parser which is part of the application

Please contact the main BEA Support team [email protected]
They will need to check with product support to determine
the interoperatablity of Weblogic Server with these other
products.

Reading external xml files from a jar

Hi,
I am trying to read an xml file from a jar (which is not present inside the jar ) .
I am passing the file name as a string (like C:/folder/filename) to the SAXBuilder but it throwing
unknown protocol: c error.
i tried using an url , tried using a relative path but to no use.
Need help in this regard urgently.
TIA,
Regards,
Harsha

Hi,
Actually, my application needs to read two xml files , parse it, perform some operation and write
the result to an output file.
The names of the two xml files i mentioned, are specified in a properties file as absolute paths. (I even tried converting them to URIs)
The xml files are in the same directory as the jar ( i dont know if it should matter as i am giving the absolute path).
The main class reads the names of the files and passes the names as strings to the SAXBuilder.
This is where i am getting an exception.
Going by what you said, is it not possible for a java class to read a fie outside of the jar ? Is there no way to do this ? And right now i am not sure of how to go about this or if there's any work around . Any help would be appreciated.
Kindly reply at the earliest
TIA,
Harsha

How to read a .wav file from a .jar - Please Help!!!

Hello,
I know this is a stupid question but I keep having trouble doing this. My code is the following:
    Display display;
    Alert alert;
    InputStream stream;
    Player player;
stream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("newalert.wav");
            player = Manager.createPlayer(stream, "audio/wav");
            player.prefetch();
            player.start();
...I'm running this Midlet on a Motorola A1000 and I keep getting the following exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
stream is null
I've created the .jad package using KToolBar of the J2ME WTK2.2 with the appropriate .wav file on res folder.
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Paulo

Hi
If your stream is null, then the wav file cannot be reached. Try this code:
stream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/newalert.wav");If this doesn't work either, make sure your wav file is directly in the res directory and not in another subdirectory of it. I suggets not running your application directly from the phone until it works from the WTK emulator.

Reading an xml file from jar

I have an xml file in a jar file other than the class that needs to read it. Most of teh posts I've seen reccomend using class.getResource to get access to the jar, but since the file is in a different jar this wont work.
I load classes using URLClassLoader and explicitely access the class I need from a specific jar by creating a url thusly....
jar:file:/" + workingDirectory + "/folder/jarfile.jar!/specificfolder/specificfile.class"
Is there a similar thing for reading an xml file for a jar?

Have you tried:
"jar:file:/" + workingDirectory + "/folder/jarfile.jar!/specificfolder/specificfile.xml"

Unable to access gif files from the server

hi all,
i have successfully signed an applet and it is loading in the client system also. in that applet, i instantiated a jbutton as given below:
JButton jb = new JButton(new ImageIcon("http://192.168.91.154:8080/success/set.gif"));
but the icon din appear and a blank button appears, even when accessed from the server system.
if i give the exact path like c:/blazix/webfiles/success/ set.gif, the icon is coming in the server system but not in other systems. i tried without port no also but in vain. pl solve my problem. what i need is how to
specify the path of the file[any file] which is present in server.
or if i put all the gif files in the jar file, can i access the gif files present in the jar file [set for archive] ? if i can, give me the soln for accessing the gif file present in the jar file, so that i need not access the server to get the gif files.(i.e) how to specify the path of the gif files present in the jar file?
i ve one more doubt. the jni library file shld be in the server, and the client has to access the library in the server. i think the applet loaded in the client ll search for the library in the local m/c only . how to make the applet to search for library in the server??
i feel only by using rmi we can solve this problem. am i correct? if so i feel that an appln or applet running in the server shld access the jni library, and the applet in the client side should communicate with this server appln using rmi to get the data.is it correct? is there
anyother way?
i appreciate your help in this regard. thanks in advance. bye, padmanbhan.

Better information on what you are doing with JNI might help you get an answer.
If you have some server process that needs to use JNI, then I would code a servlet to call, instead of using RMI to ge there.
Depending on your environment, and the target audiences environment, RMI may just cause you a lot of grief. Firewalls etc, get in the way of RMI connections and force security holes to be opened in order to work.
If you use a servlet, then traffic to your server process is done via standard http calls, which will already be enabled, because your app runs in a browser.
If ther data requirements are heavy duty, your server could always send an XML stream to the client, which would allow you to describe complex data to the client.
Running JNI stuff from the client directly means a lot of local infrastructure to run your app. The code you want to run, the JNI library ....
If what you have is really an application, but want the convenience of starting it from a browser, look at Java WebStart. Then you can distribute an application via the browser, and WebStart will worry about the deployment issues for you.
In Summary:
Stay away from RMI from applets if you can help it.
If you really have an App, then try WebStart to manage the distribution issues for you.

Hi,
You are trying to read file wrong way. In the tutorial of Java Excel Api: "JExcelApi can read an Excel spreadsheet from a file stored on the local filesystem or from some input stream.". You are trying to read from file system. So you must get file input stream then you can read it. Please search forums KM file read.

Executing .jar files from another .jar file.

How would I run one .jar file from another .jar file. and is there anyway to call specific class arguments? Because I have one .jar file that reads a specified file and returns its contents.
So how would I execute it and specify its arguments and how would I make it return something to the executing jar file?

Because I have one .jar file that reads
a specified file and returns its contents. Presumably you have a class that does that, and you have that class stored in a jar. And you want to know how to... um... do something with that class. I say "um..." because normally you don't execute a class, either, you either call its static methods or you create an instance of the class and call its instance methods.
If you have been writing a whole lot of little classes each of which just has a static main method, then stop doing that. Write real Java classes instead. The tutorial is here:

Help reading a .txt file from the hard drive....

Hi guys,
Ok... I need to know how to read a .txt file from the hard drive... I have an example on how to read from a disk, but I don't have a disk drive. I could be confusing terminology, but I don't think I am. Here is the code I have for reading from a disk.. please let me know how I should change it to read from a hard drive.
Also, when the error pops up, it says that it can't read another .txt file that is not specified in the code... any ideas how that is occuring? Please advise.
import java.io.*;
public class TEST {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
FileReader fr = new FileReader("customer.txt");
BufferedReader bfr = new BufferedReader (fr);
String s;
while ((s=bfr.readLine())!= null){
System.out.println (s);
fr.close();
}

Ok... I need to know how to read a .txt file from the
hard drive... I have an example on how to read from a
disk, but I don't have a disk drive. I could be
confusing terminology, but I don't think I am. Here
is the code I have for reading from a disk.. please
let me know how I should change it to read from a
hard drive.The code will be the same, regardless of where the file is located. It's just the filename that will be different.
Also, when the error pops up, it says that it can't
read another .txt file that is not specified in the
code... any ideas how that is occuring? Please
advise.Probably becuase the class file (compiled version of the source code) is a different version to the source code, i.e. the source code hasn't been recompiled since the source code was changed.
How does this relate to EJBs?

Read a zip file from Application server.

Hi,
Is there a way to read a zip file from the applicatoin server to internal table in ABAP program? The operation system is running MS windows server. The zip file contains only 1 text file. I tried to use open dataset 'uncompress', and use read dataset, but read dataset gave me sy-subrc = 4. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

hi,
to convert xstring to text you can use this:
DATA unzipped_data TYPE xstring.
DATA text_data TYPE string.
DATA conv_x2c TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce.
conv_x2c = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( ).
conv_x2c->convert( EXPORTING input = unzipped_data IMPORTING data = text_data ).
moreover, if you want to split your text at "end of line" (CR LF in microsoft windows) into lines:
DATA text_lines TYPE TABLE OF string.
SPLIT text_data AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf INTO TABLE text_lines.
