Question for Tutorial: Labels & Image Views

[carsten . hausel]

Hi,

i'm new to pivot and just trying to do my first steps.
I'm stuck at the tutorial.

I have this Apllication (in Eclipse):

<code>
package de.ivv.dbas.pivot;

import org.apache.pivot.beans.BXMLSerializer;
import org.apache.pivot.collections.Map;
import org.apache.pivot.wtk.Application;
import org.apache.pivot.wtk.DesktopApplicationContext;
import org.apache.pivot.wtk.Display;
import org.apache.pivot.wtk.Window;
 
public class PivotBxml implements Application {
    private Window window = null;
 
    @Override
    public void startup(Display display, Map<String, String> properties)
        throws Exception {
        BXMLSerializer bxmlSerializer = new BXMLSerializer();
        window = (Window)bxmlSerializer.readObject(PivotBxml.class, 
"button_image.bxml");
        window.open(display);
    }
 
    @Override
    public boolean shutdown(boolean optional) {
        if (window != null) {
            window.close();
        }
 
        return false;
    }
 
    @Override
    public void suspend() {
    }
 
    @Override
    public void resume() {
    }
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        DesktopApplicationContext.main(PivotBxml.class, args);
    }
}
</code>

this bxml:

<code>
<Window title="Hello JavaScript!" maximized="true"
    xmlns:bxml="http://pivot.apache.org/bxml";
    xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk">
    <windowStateListeners>
        importPackage(org.apache.pivot.wtk); 
    <BoxPane styles="{padding:4, verticalAlignment:'center'}">
        <ImageView image="clock.png"/>
        <Label text="What time is it?"/>
    </BoxPane>
    </windowStateListeners>
</Window>
</code>

and get this kind of exception when running it out of Eclipse:

I have put the  image in different places: inside the Eclipse project, 
file system (Windows XP).
The png is located in the same directory as the bxml file, and spelled 
correct.

When i put an "/" or an "@" in front like : <ImageView 
image="@clock.png"/>
I get a message like this: "class java.lang.String is not a sequence." in 
a popup box.

Does anybody knows how i have to do it to make it work?
