Loading Image in Java Applet

Question

When I try to run an applet in applet viewer it is not able to find resources (Image). I try to load resource like this:

String cb= this.getCodeBase().toString()         


        

Answer 1

The context classloader should work with jars.

ClassLoader cl = Thread.getContextClassLoader();
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(cl.getResource("something.png"), "description");
