Deploying madness w/ applets

"Stream Closed" means "Resource does not exist". The path is wrong or the resource is not, in fact, present in your jars.

If it didn't exist, the method would return null.

Regardless of what you think, I am right

  I have my own opinion too! The resource is present, where it should be, and the stream gets closed.
Here's what happens:

Here's the same thing, loading differently:
http://javadaemon.com/games/skrollr/test1/

This is a reproducion of the original problem, so it's easier to read. Please take a look inside of it!

The stream doesn't "get" closed - it never opens, because the resource doesn't exist. Try changing the resource name to something you know doesn't exist like "xyzzy" and note the same error message.

Try it without the initial / in the resource path.

I see. Can you please take a peek though, because it is definitely where it should be.

Cas

That's what I did. Same error anyway though.

I can see it's there - have a go using "res/tileset.png" instead of "/res/tileset.png"...
<edit>Ok, was just checking. Looks like it may be a slick issue then. Can you read the input stream yourself using that piece of code (instead of passing it off to Slick)?

Locally, no. However, I can do a "new Image("res/tileset.png"); and it will work, locally.
Fizzy Bricks (the physics game Kevin Glass wrote in two evenings to introduce the Fizzy overlay of box2d), initializes it's resources this way, in the applet: new Image("res/whatevs.png"); and it works in the applet as well.
Jar structure looks the same to me, of the two.

What if you are accessing the wrong file perhaps

1	java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.io.FilePermission" ".\res\background.png" "read")

Where's background.png?

Ho ho Anyway - works nicely, smooth as a baby's bum.

So using forward slash to indicate the root of the jar does work, you just have to account for user forgetfulness

Nope, that was the last I think
