Fuse, UI Oriented Resource Injection

February 05, 2006 by nxt

With Fuse you can easily inject data in your application at runtime by specifying them in a properties file,
for example using an background image
you used to do something like this:
class CustomComponent extends JComponent {
 private Image background;
 CustomComponent() {
  try {
   background = ImageIO.read(getClass()
    .getResource("/resources/background.png"));
  } catch (IOException e) { }
 }
}

With fuse the code would look like this
class CustomComponent extends JComponent {
 @InjectedResource
 private Image background;
 CustomComponent() {
  ResourceInjector.get().inject(this);
 }
}
Ofcourse you must load a properties file before calling inject using:
ResourceInjector rInjector=
 ResourceInjector.get().load("/resources/fuse.theme");
