Path for images folder in GWT project

Question

I have the following line of code to set the URL of an image I want to display

img.setUrl("images/img1.jpg");

Where should I place my images folder in order for it to get picked up correctly. Currently I have it in my WEB-INF folder but this does not appear to work. I get the error on my console "WARNING: No file found for: /images/img1.jpg" I created my project using Eclipse and I have not changed any folder structure.

Answer 1

You should make a folder named images under your war/project_folder and place the images there.

And while setting the Url you shoud do

image.setUrl(GWT.getModuleBaseURL()+"images/im1.jpg");

You can use either GWT.getModuleBaseURL() or GWT.getHostPageBaseURL().

Answer 2

Create a public folder (named "public") alongside with folders "client" and "server". The content of the public folder will be copied into the war.

>src
  >com
    >test
    >client
--->public
        >images
    >server
    >shared

Voilà!
