Hi, This is not technically a Java3D question, but I know how great you guys are at fixing things; so I hope you don't think im being too cheeky, by all means stop reading now if you object to having non-j3d questions asked here;)
Right, I have two separate J3D apps which I have integrated together (app1 into app2). The problem is that I am having trouble deploying the joined application (in terms of resources): - the 3DS files that app1 uses have been imported into my Borland project for the joined application and they appear to be archived correctly, but I get command line errors regarding missing files. So, I have a series of files and folders in this project, I have tested extracting everything from the executable JAR and everything appears in its right place, but I get this error; C:\DOCUME~1\nbl8\Desktop\THEAPP~1>java -jar genericLoader.jar java.io.FileNotFoundException: file:\C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\nbl8\Desktop\The%20App\genericLoader .jar!\mapFiles\MapLibraries\MLibOffice.mbl (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect) at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.io.FileReader.<init>(Unknown Source) at mapbuilder.MapTileLibrary.LoadFromFile(MapTileLibrary.java:172) at mapbuilder.MapBuilder.LoadLibrary(MapBuilder.java:217) at mapbuilder.MapBuilder.<init>(MapBuilder.java:74) at ShapeBuilderApp.main(ShapeBuilderApp.java:28) ERROR IN DRIVER FILE Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at mapbuilder.MapTile.Load3DSFile(MapTile.java:558) at mapbuilder.MapWorld.AddUnitFiller(MapWorld.java:540) at mapbuilder.MapWorld.ResetGrids(MapWorld.java:113) at mapbuilder.MapWorld.<init>(MapWorld.java:92) at mapbuilder.MapBuilder.<init>(MapBuilder.java:85) at ShapeBuilderApp.main(ShapeBuilderApp.java:28) I repeat, if I extract the contents of genericLoader.jar(app1) then I get the file structure which suggests that it should be finding that file. Any help would be much appreciated, I understand its slightly out of the context of this newsgroup, so it might be more appropriate if any responses are mailed directly to me. PS any ideas are welcome, its quite tricky getting hold of decent info on archiving etc Oh, the commands im using to pull the information (i.e. at mapbuilder.MapTileLibrary.LoadFromFile(MapTileLibrary.java:172)) are; URL url = cl.getResource(fileName); BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(url.getFile())); Thanks ******************************************** Ben Logan - Graduate Software Engineer RCID Stephenson Building Newcastle Upon Tyne NE1 7RU www.rcid.ncl.ac.uk ******************************************** =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
