The ecore_dbus_receive_test sample (in test/orig/ecore) doesn't actually send a reply. (Which would definitely cause the other end to eventually time out if it was expecting one). So, the method_return code probably has never been tested. Ecore_DBus is pretty young, and still missing some functionality. If you want to use it, you'll probably want to get familiar with its code so you can fix any bugs you run across and implement any missing functionality you need. As an alternative approach, I started a simple wrapper around dbus that hooks it into e's main loop. It provides a few convenience functions for setting up method receivers, etc, but requires using the lowlevel libdbus api for many things. I probably won't have any time in the next couple months to work on this, so I've put up a tarball at: http://rephorm.com/files/code/e_dbus-0.0.1.tar.gz It includes part of the hal dbus api wrapped up into a lib and a demo ewl app using that. I would love to see someone take this and ecore_dbus and do some benchmarks. In my opinion, unless we can get some significant speed/memory gain from ecore_dbus as opposed to libdbus, I don't see the point of having an independant implementation of the spec. rephorm ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
