Webstart Reource Problem

Question

Hello, i have two Problems ;)
I?m trying the first time Java Webstart and it works fine. My Problems are :
Images :
Images i placed in Menu or Toolbar doesn?t appear on my Application. I used them like
... new ImageIcon (./images/blabla.jpg);
I think this relative Path doesn?t work because the Application is in a Jar File. Please let me know how to declare Image Resources in Jar Files.
The Second Problem is the Connection to the Database. The JDBC Library is in the Jar File but i doesn?t know where i have to declare it.
My Jnlp File :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://localhost:80" href="TroubleTicket.jnlp">
<information>
<title>BlaBla</title>
<vendor>Bla</vendor>
<homepage href="Bla"/>
<description>Trouble Ticket System</description>
<offline-allowed/>
</information>
<security>
<all-permissions/>
</security>
<resources>
<j2se href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se" version="1.4+"/>
<jar href="TroubleTicket.jar"/>
</resources>
<resources os="Windows">
<j2se href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se" version="1.4+"/>
</resources>
<application-desc/>
</jnlp>
Please let me know how to solve this Problems. Thanks in advance.

For a resource in a jar file, you have to load the image using the ClassLoaders getResource method:
     java.net.URL imgUrl = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("test.gif");
imageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(imfUrl);
