Hi John,
When I started this project I based everything on the npsimple example in
the Mozilla directory. I used the same routines used in order to register
the
component - because this is an example that works.
The Mozilla debug output says:
nsNativeComponentLoader: autoregistering begins.
***Registering WebtermPlugin components <all right -- a generic module!>
nsPluginHostImpl ctor
nsNativeComponentLoader: autoregistering succeeded
Then later on in the debug window it then says
Components.classes['@PowerlanUSA/webterm;1'] has no properties
I have the register / unregister routines in the C code and defined in the
class WebtermPluginInstance.
I have the component info stated as:
static nsModuleComponentInfo gComponentInfo[] = {
{ "Webterm Plugin",
NS_WEBTERMPLUGIN_CID,
NS_INLINE_PLUGIN_CONTRACTID_PREFIX PLUGIN_MIME_TYPE,
WebtermPluginInstance::Create,
WebtermPluginInstance::RegisterSelf,
WebtermPluginInstance::UnregisterSelf },
};
NS_IMPL_NSGETMODULE(WebtermPlugin, gComponentInfo);
I am not sure about all the requiremements needed to register a component
either from
native code or Javascript. I hoped by following the exiting examples I could
include everything
I needed to do this. Is there anything written somewhere that outlines all
the items necessary to
do this from both Javascript or from Native code. Is there something that I
have missed in the
registering process.?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
