Images not displaying when application is deployed

[Dany Joos]

I'm trying to display an image on a panel with the following code.    I've tried .png, .gif, and .ico files and get the same results each time.

When deployed all I see is either blank or the red x.    Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Dany

Image gwtImage =

new Image("js/ext/resources/images/custom/Remove-32.png");

gwtImage.setTitle(

"I am a GWT Image Widget");

apContactListViewBrowser.add(gwtImage, 153, 157);

gwtImage.setSize(

"78px", "70px");

image.setVisible(

true);

thanks Patrizio, the casing is correct though.    Also in case it matter, but I don't think it should; apContactListViewBrowser onto which the image is being added is an absolute panel.

have you checked if the image is present in the place where should be after the deploy?

[Dany Joos]

I"m pointing to this location and they've been successfully deployed to this folder.    Are there issues with deploying to this folder?

 

C:\MyLiferay\jboss-tomcat-4.2.3\server\default\deploy\GWTHorseContactPortlet.war\gwthorsecontactportlet\js\ext\resources\images\custom

 

 

Should I be deploying to here?

 

C:\MyLiferay\jboss-tomcat-4.2.3\server\default\deploy\GWTHorseContactPortlet.war\gwthorsecontactportlet\gwt\standard\images

Your issue might be the lack of a leading slash – have you tried with this?

Image gwtImage = new Image("/js/ext/resources/images/custom/Remove-32.png");

I tried with the slash but it didn't do anything, other than I lost the image in Design mode.   I'm using GWT Designer and my images show up ok in Designer.   It's when I deploy them that they don't show.    When I added and selected the image GWT Designer generated the following line of code with the following path; which is where the image is located (I just picked one of the standard images).

 

Image gwtImage = new Image("js/ext/resources/images/custom/Remove-32.png");

 

When I've deployed the portlet to liferay/jboss/tomcat, the image does appear in the following deployment folder.

 

C:\MyLiferay\jboss-tomcat-4.2.3\server\default\deploy\projectname.war\projectname\js\ext\resources\images\custom

 

Is there any good documentation on creating and deploying GWT images?

 

I've tried adding gwtImage.setVisible(true) and it didn't do anything.   I've tried just about everything with the paths and even tried dropping the image in various folders and it didn't do anything.

Are there any additional statements needed to get an image to display on a panel when you deploy it?

Just wanted to post the fix, and thank Patrizio and Thomas for your suggestions.

It was a path error.    Here is the fix.

thanks,

Dany

 

Image gwtImage = new Image(GWT.getModuleBaseURL() + "js/ext/resources/images/default/dd/drop-add.gif");
