To change an image reference (if it not referenced in a CSS file) you
can always define
application level theme properties that override the images referenced
in the "theme".
See
http://webdev2.sun.com/woodstock-theme-doc/index.html
For all the gory details.
But basically in your web.xml define the THEME_RESOURCES init param
<context-param>
<param-name>com.sun.webui.theme.THEME_RESOURCES</param-name>
<param-value>theme.apptheme</param-value>
</context-param>
Define properties in a file "WEB-INF/classes/theme/apptheme.properties"
And a javascript file "WEB-INF/classes/theme/nls/apptheme.js".
The properties are documented in the above document.
The properties are defined in
"themes/src/suntheme/properties/images.properties" in the source tree or
"com/sun/webui/woodstock4_3/suntheme/properties/images.properties" in
the jar.
You can see these in a browser in any Woodstock application by
http://<containerhost and
port>/<appcontext>/theme/com/sun/webui/woodstock4_3/suntheme/properties/images.properties
or any other theme file, as long as the ThemeServlet context path is
"theme". Note that this is for
the latest source base earlier releases use "sunthemeM_N" vs
"woodstock4_3". Just look in any
application web page to see the path or dump the jar.
(and any of the other properties files, "styles.properties",
"javascript.properties", etc.
Say you want to change a tree image.
TREE_LINE_VERTICAL=_at_THEME_PATH@/images/tree/tree_linevertical.png
TREE_LINE_VERTICAL_MAP=COMBINED_IMAGE_MAP
TREELINE_VERTICAL_HEIGHT=22
TREE_LINE_VERTICAL_WIDTH=16
You add the following to "WEB-INF/classes/theme/apptheme.properties"
TREE_LINE_VERTICAL=/theme/images/thicktreelinevertical.png
TREE_LINE_VERTICAL_MAP=
TREELINE_VERTICAL_HEIGHT=22
TREE_LINE_VERTICAL_WIDTH=16
And in the "WEB-INF/classes/theme/nls/apptheme.js" file
{
"images" : {
"TREE_LINE_VERTICAL" : "/theme/images/thicktreelinevertical.png",
"TREE_LINE_VERTICAL_MAP : "",
"TREELINE_VERTICAL_HEIGHT" : "22",
"TREE_LINE_VERTICAL_WIDTH" : "16"
}
}
You can do this for any theme property even the with javascript files
and stylesheets.
Javascript and stylesheets will not replace the theme's stylesheets and
javascript files but
will be included in every page. See the refrenced document for details.
The thing to note is that the resources must appear under
"WEB-INF/classes" because
that is where the "ThemeServlet" will find theme.
