How to specify path to a resource?
I have a MyMIDlet.java file and "pole.gif" image on the same folder. Now I compile and run them as follows:-
javac -bootclasspath /opt/midp/classes MyMIDlet.java
preverify -classpath /opt/midp/classes:. -d . MyMIDlet
midp -classpath /opt/midp/classes:. MyMIDlet
I get the following error:-
java.io.IOException
startApp threw an Exception
On debugging I found that this error is caused by this line:-
ballSprite =new Sprite(Image.createImage("pole.gif"));
I also tried replacing the argument with "/pole.gif", "./pole.gif", "/home/smith/midlets/Test/pole.gif", but nothing worked.
However with NetBeans 5.5 it works with "/pole.gif". Any suggestions how I can make it work with the command line midp tool?

supareno, please do me a favour. please do not reply to threads i post. i have seen your reply in another thread also and they provide no useful information. it's a humble request. of course you are free to not grant my request. it's your call.
I have explained in the my original post that I know how to specify the path of a resource and it works well with NetBeans as well as WTK. However the same paths do not work when I try to test my program using the "midp" command in the command line.
looking forward to know why the same paths do not work in case of midp. is the working directory of midp not the place from where I invoke it? or is there some other reason?

i tried to redo your stuff (but i cannot find midp bin: i searched in WTK 2.2 and 2.5 and i didn't
find it !!) i try with the emulator bin and i've got an error with zayit bin...
for your problem, i think it is:
when you launch midp bin, he is trying to run the classes and searching the image in the
classes folder. he canno tfind it so that's why you've got an IOException.
have you tried to put the image in the classes folder?

i found this article :
http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/mobility/midp/articles/setup/
is it the tutorial used for your test?
