Hi,

I am trying to move the definition of a Composite background image from code to CSS. In order to do so I created the CSS definition below...


.backgroundimage{
	background-image: url( images/my-image.jpg );
}


... and changed the code as follows:

		Composite theImage = null;
		Image bodyImage = null;
		try {
			theImage = new Composite(wrapper, SWT.NONE);
			// TODO: Need to read image from css. This doesn't work (yet)...
			theImage.setData(RWT.CUSTOM_VARIANT, "backgroundimage");
			// bodyImage = new Image(Display.getCurrent(),
			//		getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("images/my-image.jpg"));
		} catch (SWTException swte) {
			// for WindowBuilder test.
			bodyImage = new Image(stack.getDisplay(), 709, 475);
		}


When I run the app though I see the following error message appear:

org.w3c.css.sac.CSSException: Failed to read property background-image: Failed to read image: images/my-image.jpg


So there is clearly something wrong with the definition of the image location. I followed the instructions from this site: http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.rap.help/help/html/advanced/theming.html

and verified that the image is in the specified location.

This made me think that it is probably the jetty bundle that can't find the image, and that I would need a fragment. But after creating the fragment I get the exact same result.

4	ACTIVE      org.eclipse.equinox.http.jetty_3.0.100.v20130327-1442
	            Fragments=76

stop 4
osgi> start 4
org.w3c.css.sac.CSSException: Failed to read property background-image: Failed to read image: images/my-image.jpg


I also tried to register the image as a resource and than use swt-resources/my-image.jpg. Same difference.

So now I am officially lost!

Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Erwin

Hi Erwin,
first your background-image definition should be applied to Composite
CSS element like:
Composite.backgroundimage{
background-image: url( images/my-image.jpg );
}
Second - try to remove the "-" from the image name.
HTH,
Ivan

Thanks Ivan,

I tried both suggestions, but with the same result:

org.w3c.css.sac.CSSException: Failed to read property background-image: Failed to read image: images/myimage.jpg

Hi Erwin,
and where the image is located in your bundle ("images" folder in the
root of your bundle)? You could have a look at
"org.eclipse.rap.design.example" bundle for an example of complete
custom theme - fancy/business.
HTH,
Ivan

That helped a lot. Of course it was a user error. It is loading the image now.

Regards,

Erwin
