Hi,
Now that I've got it all working, I'm getting confused.
(Stop reading if you get irritated by stupid questions.....)
What is all happening? In the HelloWorld Javascript component example there
are 3 files, the interface, the javascript implementation of the component
and a xpt file. So you copy the .js and the .xpt file (why do we need a xpt
file?) to the dist/bin/componenents directory. From that point on, I'd like
to know what is happening exactly. And what if there's no .js file and .xpt
file, can I use javascript to create an instance when there's a .so file
(since we're only talking to the interface???). Also what is this registring
exactly. (I warned you, silly questions from a beginner...).
Anyway can someone make it a bit clearer.
Cheers,
Roger
