Hi Mike,
as outlined in my other mail, there are various combination possibilities of OOo installations and different client requirements(, which even hold true for documents e.g. with embedded code).
The automatic bootstrapping is designed in a way, that it may be usable for any kind of future UNO application, by slightly changing the implementation. Eventually having a central repository, where _all_ services shall be registered, certainly including different OOo installations. For UNO, and OOo is just a collection of UNO components, the right level for defining requirements is the "SERVICE". Unfortunately such an automatic requirement checking is not available yet.
To help with your problem of being dependent against a particular OOo version, wouldn't the problem be solved by just reporting that a particular service is not available and by giving some hints for diagnostic purposes? E.g. something like "Service <BLA> could not be instantiated, this service is not available in OOo versions earlier than 1.9.x".

Putting it in the documentation really doesn't solve the problem, though.
I really can't understand why this would not be a good idea. For example, I have written a client app using the OOo 1.9.x sdk, which uses functionality that is not backward compatible. Why would I want the Loader to find an instance of OOo 1.1.x, which is guaranteed to fail with my app?

I don't think this would be a good idea, addressing this issue in the introductory text of the new SDK is
the
better approach since it's more general. My proposal is to include
a
note that examples might not work with the new SDK for OO 1.1.x or
older.

I see what you're saying about the independence of UNO and OpenOffice.
But, I guess when I was talking about the searching algorithm. I
was
really referring to the algorithm being done in Loader. Loader is completely dependenant on OpenOffice, so I think that it should
be
searching for a compatible version of OpenOffice, and then fall
back
if it doesn't find one.

Shouldn't
it,
then, just be searching for installations it's compatible
with?
the SDK maybe use features that are only available in the
current
or newer office versions. So the only statement from our side is
that
the SDK will work with the corresponding office version or newer
ones.
But we don't guarantee that it works with older offices. But that
mean
not that it won't work ;-) And again the bootstrap mechanism was not designed for the pure office usage. It was design for the general UNO usage and from that
point
of view it should be of no interest which UNO environment you get. From my point of view we had better designed a office bootstrap
mechanism
but so what. I agree that it can be of interest which specific service implementation is available in the env or which version you can use. And of
course
for
this kind of information we have definitely no good answer yet.
From an
office point of view it can be aligned with the office version
but
from a general UNO component view we have to find a better solution (maybe some kind of component dependencies). But i have no real idea
at
the moment.

The SDK 1.9m77 is not intended to be used for OO 1.1.4. That said I don't know if it is incompatible to OO 1.1.x, but
since
bootstrapping has changed a lot over the last months it is
not
surprising to me that problems occur in your case.

I'm using the 1.9.m77 sdk to write a java client. I've been
having
other problems, but along the way, I was told that OOo 1.1.4
supports
the Bootstrap, but there is currently a bug when having a
space
in
the path name of the installation.
So, I removed the installation, installed without the space,
and
I
still get the same stack trace.
thanks, mike
