images not loading

[philip depalo]

I load images into an applet and for all intents and purposes it appears the image has loaded, minus actually seeing an image. The size of the image is there, it says it is reading them from the java console:
Socket connection
Loaded image: http://localhost:8080/vcei_s/online/images\-1\0-1.jpg
Loaded image: http://localhost:8080/vcei_s/online/images\-1\3-CT.3007.1.jpg
Loaded image: http://localhost:8080/vcei_s/online/images\-1\5-area_photo.jpg
Loaded image: http://localhost:8080/vcei_s/online/images\-1\9-Photo_012607_003.jpg

Loaded image: http://localhost:8080/vcei_s/online/images\-1\11-5.jpg
Loaded image: http://localhost:8080/vcei_s/online/images\-1\16-Creek.jpg

yet still no pictures...any ideas? Could this be related to my prevous file permissions problem even though I am not receiving an error on this one? Why are the slash and backslash different in the image path? However if I copy that and paste it into my browser the image loads...

So I discovered the issue with displaying the images

//this.imageURL= vceiServerImageBase+File.separator+tId;
this.imageURL= vceiServerImageBase+"/"+topicId;

So I commented out the line that used File.separator to create the \ in between the directories and physically entered a "/" to denote the directories. This was all that was necessary. It seems that when the URL encodes the actual address it changes the File.separator \ to %5C which is the url code, but not when its supposed to show a directory. This also happened in one other place:

//orgImage = mainApplet.getImage(new URL(imageURL+File.separator+fileName));
orgImage = mainApplet.getImage(new URL(imageURL+"/"+fileName));

So that was the answer...
