Adding Image, Bolds to JTextPane

[Scott Florez]

Hi. I'm using the code below to generate a JTextPane. However, the image is not being displayed at the top of the pane. I'm trying to read the image from the current working directory (not a URL). I've tried every possible path I can think of. I'm not getting any errors when I try to read the image; it just doesn't show up. The bolds also aren't showing up as bold. Can anyone help? Thanks!

JTextPane textPane = createTextPane();
 
private JTextPane createTextPane()
{
String[] initString =
{
" ",//icon
"\n\nGift Certificate #",//bold
"number",//regular
"\n\nName: ",//bold
field5.getText().trim(),//regular
"\t\tAmount: ",//bold
field7.getText().trim(),//regular
"\n\nSignature: _________________________________________________"//bold
};
 
String[] initStyles = {"icon", "bold", "regular", "bold", "regular", "bold", "regular", "bold"};
JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
StyledDocument doc = textPane.getStyledDocument();
addStylesToDocument(doc);

try
{
for(int i = 0; i <initString.length; i++)
{
doc.insertString(doc.getLength(), initString[i], doc.getStyle(initStyles[i]));
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.err.println("Couldn't insert initial text into text pane.");
}

return textPane;
}
 
    protected void addStylesToDocument(StyledDocument doc)
{
        Style def = StyleContext.getDefaultStyleContext().getStyle(StyleContext.DEFAULT_STYLE);
 
        Style regular = doc.addStyle("regular", def);
        StyleConstants.setFontFamily(def, "SansSerif");
 
        Style s = doc.addStyle("bold", regular);
        StyleConstants.setBold(s, true);
 
        s = doc.addStyle("icon", regular);
        StyleConstants.setAlignment(s, StyleConstants.ALIGN_CENTER);
        ImageIcon logoIcon = createImageIcon("gameworld.jpg","logo");
        if (logoIcon != null) StyleConstants.setIcon(s, logoIcon);
}
  protected static ImageIcon createImageIcon(String path, String description) 
{
        java.net.URL imgURL = GiftCertificates.class.getResource(path);
        if (imgURL != null) 
{
            return new ImageIcon(imgURL, description);
        } 
else 
{
            System.err.println("Couldn't find file: " + path);
            return null;
        }
    }

I tried your code and it worked okay. Both the image and the bold text appeared as
expected.
About image loading, the getResource methods search the class path for the image. If the
File(path) cannot be found you would likely get a message from your createImageIcon
method.
However, if ImageIcon cannot decipher the file or load the data it says nothing. You have
to ask it how the loading went. Here's an idea for the asking part:

    protected static ImageIcon createImageIcon(String path, String description) 
    {
        java.net.URL imgURL = Initializing.class.getResource(path);
        System.out.println("path = " + path + "\n" +
                           "imgURL = " + imgURL);
        if (imgURL != null) 
        {
            ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(imgURL, description);
            int status = icon.getImageLoadStatus();
            String s = "";
            if((status & MediaTracker.COMPLETE) == MediaTracker.COMPLETE)
                s += "COMPLETE ";
            if((status & MediaTracker.ERRORED) == MediaTracker.ERRORED)
                s += "ERRORED ";
            if((status & MediaTracker.ABORTED) == MediaTracker.ABORTED)
                s += "ABORTED ";
            System.out.println("status["+status+"] = " + s);
            return icon;
        }
        else
        {
            System.err.println("Couldn't find file: " + path);
            return null;
        }
    }

That the bold text did not appear suggests something else. You can get the StyledDocument
from the JTextPane and query it for the Styles it contains. Write out the attributes to
see if they match what you put in.
