ImageIcon (Swing) in an agent

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi

I’m using Swing to provide an user interface in an local scheduled agent.

This works great but i would like to use an image from the filesystem …(or if possible from an image ressource from the Notes database) in a button.

I’m using ImageIcon

ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(“domino/icons/actn010.gif”);

I have tried different setups. relative file paths, absolute path, URLs…

I can not get to work. Any ideas?

Is is Java security restrictions?

regards

Hi,

I had the same problem and I found a solution:

Write a java-function like this:

private ImageIcon getImageIcon(String sImagePath)

{

ImageIcon newIcon = null;



try

	{

	InputStream isImage = DlgSearchDeZent.class.getResourceAsStream(sImagePath); 

	

	byte[] buf = new byte[isImage.available() ]; 

	isImage.read(buf);

	newIcon = new ImageIcon(buf);

	} 

catch (IOException e)

	{

	JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Image '" + sImagePath + "' could not be loaded.", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

	}

return newIcon;

}

The images must be a part of your java-project.
