_*Introduction to the problem:*_
- My extension is developed and deployed through NetBeans, OOo plugin
and OOo java sdk 3, on GNU/Linux platform.
- The oxt package made contains an indispensable folder, called
"repository", and correctly added to the oxt setting the following on
build.xml:
<target name="-post-uno-package">
<zip update="true" destfile="${uno.package.name}">
<zipfileset dir="/root/repository" includes="*/*"
casesensitive="yes" prefix="repository"/>
</zip>
</target>
- Running the extension, some stuff contained in the "repository"
folder is processed.
- The path of "repository" is found by this code:
public MyExtension(XComponentContext context) {
String m_implementationName = MyExtension.class.getName();
m_xContext = context;
XPackageInformationProvider xPackageInformationProvider =
PackageInformationProvider.get(m_xContext);
reposPath =
xPackageInformationProvider.getPackageLocation(m_implementationName);
reposPath = reposPath.replaceFirst("file://", "");
reposPath +="/repository";
...
...
}
- Running the extension on OOo for GNU/Linux, the "repository" path is
right (I have to suppress "file://" at the start), and everything goes
fine:
/root/.openoffice.org/3/user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/FhREz3_/MyExtension.oxt/repository/
(this is the right folder)
*_The problem:_*
- When I try out the extension on OOo for MS Windows (both XP and Vista)
the path is wrong, I get things like this:
\C:/ . . . /MyExtension.oxt/repository
You mean, the string returned by getPackageLocation is
file://\C:/...
? That is a bug; please file an issue; it should be
file:///C:/...
instead.
note the backslash ( \ ) at the start, furthermore note the slashes ( /
) contained in the path: I did know that only backslashes were allowed
on MS Windows paths
(but I can be wrong).
What getPackageLocation returns is a URL, not a filepath in
system-specific notation, so it should always only contain forward slashes.
- When I try out the extension on my work pc (Windows XP), things get
worse... the extension is installed under this lan folder
(\\Domainserver1\...), and the REAL "repository" path is:
\\Domainserver1\User_Folder\username\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice.org\3\user\uno_packages\cache\uno_packages\20.tmp_\MyExtension.oxt\repository
- But the path found by the extension is this:
Domainserver1/User_Folder/username/AppData/Roaming/OpenOffice.org/3/user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/20.tmp_/MyExtension.oxt/repository
note that there are no backslashes at the start and AGAIN I have slashes
instead of backslashes.
Here, the URL returned by getPackageLocation is
file://Domainserver1/..., placing the UNC path's server name in the
URL's authority component.
In short, your approach of converting from a (file) URL to a
system-specific filepath notation (by stripping leading "file://") is
too naive. In Java, you can use functionality provided by java.net.URL,
java.net.URI, java.net.File etc. to do the conversion correctly.
