How do i link to my Image-Folder inside my Apache Wicket Application?

Question

My Package-Structure looks like:

src/main/java
src/main/resources
src/test/java
src/test/resources
src/main/webapp/css
src/main/webapp/images
src/main/js
src/main/WEB-INF

My images are stored under src/main/webapp/images.

Now i want to dynamically link to a picture e.g.:

    Image picture = new Image("picture",
                    new ContextRelativeResource("/images/races/"
                            + dynamicPicture));

The Problem is, that my Application can't find /images/races/$dynamicPicture. How do i set the correct path to my image folder? The Appliation Server used is Jetty.

Indeed, your code should work. Are you using Maven to manage your project and to start Jetty?

I use maven to manage my project. To deploy my project, i run "Run as -> Maven Install". Then i copy the .war File to my webapps Folder in the Jetty Directory. – lazydaemon Aug 20 '12 at 18:53
Now i copied all the images into the specific package of my Java-Class and .html file and implemented the image with: new Image("image", new PackageResourceReference(MyPage.class, picture + ".gif")); It's not what i wanted but it works. – lazydaemon Aug 20 '12 at 19:54

Try by removing the leading slash from "/images/races". I also think that it should work. You can simplify it a bit by using ContextImage component. – martin-g Aug 21 '12 at 14:29
@martin-g How can this be the solution? ContextRelativeResource checks whether there's a leading slash and adds one if it's omitted (1.5.7). – Christoph Leiter Aug 22 '12 at 12:19

It will work with (removed the leading slash)

    Image picture = new Image("picture",
                new ContextRelativeResource("images/races/"
                        + dynamicPicture));
