- The path of "repository" is found by this code:

PackageInformationProvider.get(m_xContext);
reposPath =

*_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
IMO the problem is your code is not system independent.
You should use the OOo API way to get the extension location:
/**
* Provides an URL to the root of an installed package.
*
* @param xContext XComponentContext
* @param sExtensionIdentifier the unique identifier of an extension.
* @return The service looks for an installed package with the
* given id and returns the URL to the root of the package.
* If the service can not find a matching package, an emty string will
* be returned.
*/
public static String getExtensionLocation(
XComponentContext xContext,
String sExtensionIdentifier)
{
String sPath = "";
String sSingleton =
"/singletons/com.sun.star.deployment.PackageInformationProvider";
try {
com.sun.star.deployment.XPackageInformationProvider
xPackageInformationProvider =
(com.sun.star.deployment.XPackageInformationProvider)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
com.sun.star.deployment.XPackageInformationProvider.class,
xContext.getValueByName(sSingleton));
sPath = xPackageInformationProvider.getPackageLocation(
sExtensionIdentifier);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} finally {
return sPath;
}
}
and then simply add "/repository" to the extension location.
You should always use URLs generated by OOo API (this also means you should
use OOo IO API instead of Java's, I know it's more verbose, but this way your
code is more portable).
For conversion between URL and system path you should always use the also more
verbose OOo API instead of Java's; (I copy from
http://api.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=19331
a Java version of convertToURL and convertFromURL)
/**
* Converts a (file) URL to a file path in system dependent notation.
* @param sFileURL
* @return
*/
public static String convertFromURL(
XComponentContext xContext,
String sFileURL) {
String sSystemPath = null;
try {
com.sun.star.ucb.XFileIdentifierConverter xFileConverter =
(com.sun.star.ucb.XFileIdentifierConverter)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
com.sun.star.ucb.XFileIdentifierConverter.class,
xContext.getServiceManager().createInstanceWithContext(
"com.sun.star.ucb.FileContentProvider", xContext));
sSystemPath = xFileConverter.getSystemPathFromFileURL(sFileURL);
} catch (java.lang.Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
return sSystemPath;
}
}
//*********************************************************************
/**
* Converts a system path into an URL using OOo API
* @param sBase
* @param sSystemPath
* @return
*/
public static String convertToURL(
XComponentContext xContext,
String sBase,
String sSystemPath) {
String sURL = null;
try {
com.sun.star.ucb.XFileIdentifierConverter xFileConverter =
(com.sun.star.ucb.XFileIdentifierConverter)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
com.sun.star.ucb.XFileIdentifierConverter.class,
xContext.getServiceManager().createInstanceWithContext(
"com.sun.star.ucb.FileContentProvider", xContext));
sURL = xFileConverter.getFileURLFromSystemPath(
sBase, sSystemPath);
} catch (java.lang.Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
return sURL;
}
}
(according to Stephan's commnet in
http://api.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=19333 in some cases
the Java API does not know anything about OOo representation).

PERFECT! This is the only one solution which worked for me! Many thanks
to all :)
