ClientBundle and Images GWT Exception

Question

I am trying to use ClientBundle in GWT To load messages.

Here is my code: gwt.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module rename-to='StockWatcher'>
    <!-- Inherit the core Web Toolkit stuff.                        -->
    <inherits name='com.google.gwt.user.User'/>

    <!-- We need the JUnit module in the main module,               -->
    <!-- otherwise eclipse complains (Google plugin bug?)           -->
    <inherits name='com.google.gwt.junit.JUnit'/>

    <!-- Inherit the default GWT style sheet.  You can change       -->
    <!-- the theme of your GWT application by uncommenting          -->
    <!-- any one of the following lines.                            -->
    <inherits name='com.google.gwt.user.theme.standard.Standard'/>
    <!-- <inherits name='com.google.gwt.user.theme.chrome.Chrome'/> -->
    <!-- <inherits name='com.google.gwt.user.theme.dark.Dark'/>     -->

    <!-- Other module inherits                                      -->

    <!-- Specify the app entry point class.                         -->
    <entry-point class='ro.gebs.master.client.StockWatcher'/>

    <!-- Specify the paths for translatable code                    -->
    <source path='client'/>
    <source path='shared'/>
    <source path='resources'/>

</module>

The interface that extends ClientBundle:

public interface Resources extends ClientBundle {
    Resources IMPL = (Resources) GWT.create(Resources.class);

    @Source("ro/gebs/master/resources/blogger.png")
    ImageResource blogger();
    @Source("ro/gebs/master/resources/delicious.png")
    ImageResource delicious();
    @Source("ro/gebs/master/resources/facebook.png")
    ImageResource facebook();
}

Here i try to use the images in my EntryPoint class:

ImageResource[] icons = new ImageResource[]{
                Resources.IMPL.blogger(),
                Resources.IMPL.delicious(),
                Resources.IMPL.facebook()
        };

And the error i get:

Exception while loading module ro.gebs.master.client.StockWatcher. See Development Mode for details.

The images are placed in a package named 'resources' but what i understand form the error is that the line with GWT.create() seems to be the problem.

Answer 1

Try relative position as shown below

@Source("../resources/blogger.png")
ImageResource blogger();
@Source("../resources/delicious.png")
ImageResource delicious();
@Source("../resources/facebook.png")
ImageResource facebook();

Project structure

ro/gebs/master
            |
            |__resources
            |          |
            |          |__blogger.png
            |
            |__client
                     |
                     |__StockWatcher.java

--EDIT--

Make sure that images are placed under correct location with correct name and extension.

Answer 2

Remove Resources path entry in {module}.gwt.xml. it does not require.

<source path='resources'/>
