RE: [Springframework-rcp-dev] Question/remark imageSource

[Keith D. <kd...@cs...>]

Ronald,

You should be able to do what you said below with a Map, instead of
Properties (the constructor to DefaultAwtImageSource expects a map of image
keys to Resource location-pointers; Spring's built in property editor
machinery should convert the string values you specify to Resources for
you.)

However, I can add support in for Properties; they're a bit more concise to
specify than map entries in the bean xml.  The reason Properties won't work
now is because it treats values as all Strings.

Good point.  I agree there should be no requirement on using a bundle for
loading image files.

BTW - AwtImageResource is just a wrapper around another spring Resource
capable of turning the InputStream backing the Resource into an awt.Image.

Keep 'em coming! ;-)
Keith

Subject: [Springframework-rcp-dev] Question/remark imageSource

And another one from me, concerning the use of images.

I've looked through your context.xml to see how to
define images, and I think its very complete, but in
some cases a bit too complete.

I understand the meaning to include resource bundles
for your images (so you can have different images based
on languages) but for a simple application (with only a
couple of very simple icon's) its a bit too much.

How about being able to define them like this:
	<bean id="imageSource"
class="org.springframework.rcp.image.AwtImageSourceImpl">
		<constructor-arg index="0">
			<props>
				<prop
key="cancel.icon">images/alert/x.gif</prop>
			</props>
		</constructor-arg>
	</bean>

Therefor an AmtImageSourceImpl could be made up without
resources, but that means that the AwtImageSourceImpl
should implement a different interface (with only the
getImage(String key)) command, or the AwtImageSource
interface should extend that and the existing
AwtImageSource interface should be renamed to
AwtImageResource interface of something like that.

Cheers 
Ronald
