Re: [dev] Beta version of XVisualNavigator (XVN)
Hi Shameera, nice extension so far. What do you mean exactly with platform independent? As far as i can see it is implemented in Java. Anyway a better and smoother integration in the office UI would be nice. I mean using the internal toolkit from the office and make it dockable etc.. I know it is more work and not so nice to use as Java directly but the integration in the office is definitely smoother and better. It would be a pleasure for me to help you where i can.

Re: [dev] [long] Integrate an extension in the code at buildtime : what do with bitmaps ?
Hi,
mmh, if you want to use the extension as it is see
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/Packaging_Notes
If you prefer to integrate the extension as a fix part of OOo you
probably have to tweak a little bit more.
But keep in mind that the configuration changed and we don't have the
many xcu/xcs files anymore. They are combined in *.xcd files, for
example brand.xcd
Images are often provided in a zip container but also as single image
files, you should check the wizards in the extras module, they provide
also images (e.g. .../basis-link/share/config/wizard/web/images)
The remaining problem would be how to address such an image from a
config file. $(insturl) is expanded some where in the framework. It
seems that we are missing a macro that can be used here and that can be
expanded with the macro expander. Or maybe a special UCP like the one
for extensions (using the the extension identifier). But this UCP don't
work in this case.
Sorry i have no real solution for you at the moment or at least i don't
know one.

Hi,
Happy New Year to all of you, and the best for 2011 ! :-)
I'm currently working on integrate a nice and existing C++ extension,
but directly in the code, means at buildtime. To summarize, if I
integrate the lib (written in C++) in the scp2 .. and so on system,
there is no problem at all, the packaging is ok and it works fine in the
install set.
In fact, everything works fine, but the icons are not seen, because
simply not found :-/
To explain more, the first point is, after tracing a bit, that the
NormalFileName property is used to retrieve the right bitmap (please
correct me if I'm wrong). As example, looking at the original name, we
have (in the .xcu) :
node oor:name=Background
prop oor:name=NormalFileName
valuebitmaps/Background.png/value
/prop
And in the extension, it appears that the relative path is used, means
the library is in :
extension/random_name/libThing.${DLL_EXTENSION}
... while the .png are in :
extension/random_name/bitmaps/*.png
This happens to work ok, of course. Am I correct to suppose that the
relative path is used, or did I miss something ?
My tries now : using the other existing .xcu as example and trying to
respect the schema ( .xcs file), I did the what follows:
node oor:name=Background
prop oor:name=NormalFileName
value$(insturl)/share/config/bitmaps/Background.png/value
/prop
... and so on
It does not work, but the idea is
1) put the library using those icons in $(insturl)/program (like all
the other libs in fact ...)
2) use the path above to retrieve the icons.
I must say I tested absolute and relative paths, without success.
For example :
valuexlink:href=$(insturl)/share/config/bitmaps/Background.png/value
or :
valuexlink:href=../share/config/bitmaps/Background.png/value
Last, the documentation I have read is :
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/Checklist_for_Writing_Extensions
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/Example
+ a lot of .xcs / .xcu shipped in the OOO3.2.1 code base
Feel free to ask me if I forgot some information, and thanks in advance
for any help :-)

Thank you Joaquim,
How would you suggest that I implement an Interceptor for the OOoViewer? I am
running the applet by adding the three classes to a signed jar: two from the
OOoVier and one for the interceptor. I can invoke the interceptor by
reflection and add the OOoViewer XFrame to the Inerceptor. However, the
Interceptor seems to fail in intercepting events. When the applet starts, I
see that the icon for the Save button is dimmed (I am intercepting every
event). I type a few words in the Writer and several properties are outputted
in the Java console. Afterwards the Save button is active again and the Save
event saves files in the hard disk.
I am thinking that I should write my own OOBean with an interceptor included.
Perhaps I can extend the OOBean and attached the extended OOBean to an
interceptor. The OOoViewer would work with the custom OOoBean.
Thats one solution. You can get the current frame you wanted to
intercept, query for XDispatchProviderInterception and register your own
Interceptor object, for example something like
XDispatchProvider orgdispatcher =
(XDispatchProvider)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XDispatchProvider.class,
frame);
XDispatchProviderInterception xRegistration =
(XDispatchProviderInterception)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XDispatchProviderInterception.class,
frame);
MyInterceptor inter = new MyInterceptor(/*maybe parameters*/);
// you should store the original dispatcher
inter.setMasterDispatchProvider(orgdispatcher);
xRegistration.registerDispatchProviderInterceptor(inter);
Juergen
By the way, I certified the applet and the OOoViewer is working fine. I also
altered the policy file that you uploaded to the Attic as follows:
grant {
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission loadLibrary.*;
permission java.io.FilePermission C:\\Program Files\\OpenOffice.org 2.0
\\program\\*, read;
permission java.io.FilePermission C:\\Program Files\\OpenOffice.org 2.0
\\program\\classes\\*, read;
permission java.util.PropertyPermission *, read;
};
The applet works fine with the less permissive policy.

Is it the case that on Debian there is an executable named ooffice in $PATH but not an executable named soffice? Yes. Well, the OOo Java simple bootstrap mechanism needs to find an OOo installation, and one of the things it tries out is to search for a file named soffice in $PATH (other things are looking at an explicitly set $UNO_PATH, for example). OK, this means that would mean that a simple link to ooffice called soffice should work, but it does not. it can't work. The bootstrap mechanism searches for an soffice in the path, links are resolved and when a executable is found (binary or script) the mechanism expects that the executable is found in a office program directory and the known directory structure is interpreted in some way to bootstrap. A link soffice to ooffice won't help because the ooffice script is in usr/bin and the bootstrap mechanism will fail. In this case you have to use the UNP_PATH environment variable.

Re: [dev] Re: Development with the UNO framework
Hi Roger, Roger Blum wrote: Hi Cedric, Thanks for your reply. Cedric Bosdonnat [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Roger, Roger Blum a écrit : I have a rather general question about the possibility to use the UNO framework for the development of a client/server application (stand alone, not as part of openoffice). Thus UNO will be used thanks to the URE (UNO Runtime Environment). This is correct. I 'm currently looking for a framework to use for the development of a client/server application to process/analyze tabular data with (among others) the following properties: - use of different data sources (different DBMS, local and remote files in different formats) - handling of large datasets (millions of records) - different clients (local and remote GUI, web) - generate textual and graphical reports - extensibility through plugins There are many C++ and Java libraries performing some of these tasks (may be python too). I am aware that there are other libraries that can do part of what I will need. But I have found no other framework delivering all the functionality. I would have to use several different libraries and I really prefer to have just one. I 've also checked out QT but it's non-free licensing model (for closed source commercial development) makes it impossible to use it. Do you know about other freely available frameworks with comparable functionality? Does UNO provide all the functionality to develop this kind of application? Do you know of an other FREE framework that is more suited for what I intend to do? UNO and the URE will not bring you a direct support of different clients, or generate reports. In your case UNO will be used as Corba or ICE. That is that your framework can be split into components performing specific tasks (eg, reporting component, GUI components, ...) and they will expose an API which can be used by anyother component in different implementation languages, or on different machines. You can even establish a connection to a UNO environment throught a network, but I never tested it with the URE... I hope to get more than just an object broker and the possibility of distributed execution of the components. In fact I see the main advantage in reusing existing components for a lot of tasks (accessing data sources, generating charts, generating textual/graphical reports, etc.). Do I need an OOo installation for this or can the components bundeled as libraries when deploying the application? yes, at the moment you need an OOo installation for a lot of functions like charts, textual/graphical reports etc. The URE supports only the core UNO functionality with some basic components/helpers to support a working component framework (middleware). You describe (and you would like to use) a future picture where an URE is the central entry point where service providers have registered there components (functionality) and other components (applications) can use it. Currently it is only possible to use an OOo installation running as a server and use it as an central UNO ORB to get and use the offered functionality. Here is some documentation about the URE and UNO: http://blogs.nuxeo.com/sections/blogs/cedric_bosdonnat/2005_12_07_creating-an-ure http://development.openoffice.org/servlets/GetAttachment?list=contestmsgId=2598090attachId=1 http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/ProfUNO/ProfUNO.xhtml http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/JavaEclipseTuto Thanks for the links, I have checked them out and there seems to be at least some information around. Do you know of anybody who uses UNO for this kind of development or is it only used as part of OOo? An external company use UNO (the URE) as the component technology for there own software system (framework of distributed components). They did an independent search for component technology on the net and started an independent evaluation of features and performance of several technologies (CORBA, XPCOM and some others). And the result was that they came back to us becasue UNO offers the best performance for their use cases and the best feature set. I'm currently working on an Eclipse plugin to support development of UNO components. For the moment it works only with an OpenOffice.org installation and Java implementation, but I planned to support the URE before June (C++ will come later). I sure will have a look at your plugin from time to time. As development will be in C++ I hope C++ support will be there soon. I hope that we can provide a similar support for NetBeans as well. An offical C++ plugin for NetBeans is planned for NetBeans 5.5 as far as i know and i we are working on a general plugin for NetBeans. Juergen I hope this could help you to make your decision.

Hi, i noticed that we have made good progress with our Code Snippets in the past two weeks, thanks to all contributors. At this point i'd like to say thank you again to Tom and Paolo who are responsible for the infrastructure and tooling. Tom provides and has implemented the infrastructure and Paolo has implemented the Code Snippet Wizard which makes it really easy to contribute well formatted snippets. Thank you! I haven't reached my personal goal to contribute one snippet per week :-( shame on me - i won't promising anything but i will try to increase my contributions. But one further thing i would like to see (and where i think it would be easy for newbies to contribute to OpenOffice) is that existing snippets get translated to the other languages. And if people find bugs or know a better solution don't hesitate to improve existing snippets. Even for the last point i think that it could make sense to move into the OO wiki with the snippet collection but i am not sure. What are your opinions? Do you would expect more contributions, improvements when the snippets would be in a wiki system where changes are easier? Let start us an open discussion to find the best solution to spread the API knowledge to make programming with and for OpenOffice easier. Other ideas are also welcome and this shouldn't be competing to our new extensions project. I would like to address more the technical features and documentation, where the stuff gets hosted later is not important here. But that something (and hopefully more in the future) is available, is easy to find, is well structured ... is important for the success of any programmability story around OpenOffice.

Too many different approaches would totally confuse the end user. Juergen thinking about something like small StarBasic include files for each VBA function. This would allow the user, to read the code behind the wrapper API. (This wrapper code could be collapsed in the default view of the StarBasic IDE, to maintain readability). If the user want modify the imported VBA code, he has already UNO API code to start from. Regards Jörg Jürgen Schmidt schrieb: Hi, i agree 100% with Laurent, it means a second API and that of course is probably not what we want. But the question is how we can address all the VBA programmers to migrate to OpenOffice and it's complete different API model. Does it make sense to have a migration layer on top of the existing API for exactly the VBA and Basic programmers in general? I am not sure, the main API focus will be still on the UNO API and we will go forward with this approach. The VBA wrapper API is implemented in UNO as well and makes use of the existing API. That means it would be one abstaction layer higher and of course one indirection more which means slower than the normal API. From my point of view this kind of wrapper API should be used for migration only and everything else should use the existing UNO API. It can be designed as an extension package and people who want use it can install this package optionally for example. I am flexible when we think we need it i am willing to support it. But of course the VBA API is not better than our existing API (far from it), it has only the advantage that it is well known, has great IDE support (MS Dev Studio), is well documented (thousands of books) and many many people use it. I personally believe that we will never reach a 100% roundtrip with macros and i would concentrate on the existing API and improvements in this area. Some of our existing APIs should be redesigned or improved by using the UNO ease of use features and a lot of other things can be done to simplify the development of our existing API. so no vote from my side, no +1 and no -1, only the offering to support the project on the level of the existing API. Juergen Laurent Godard wrote: Hi Noel Thanks for your proposal and your presentation I'm aware that VBA macros are a problem on a migration and something has to be done. So you're proposal is welcomed Nevertheless, I'm afraid that using VBA paradigm inside OOo will more hurt than solve the problem. VBA has 2 parts : the language and the objects I'm not talking about the syntax here. Some compatibility efforts have been done in this directon and can be improved. The problem, imho, is on the API level Giving VBA support as you propose is implementing a new API for objects. You will then have two ways for defining objects : the OOo API one, The MS VBA one. It will be more difficult to understand things as these two objects, will have difference : a VBA cell is different tha an OOo one. How does this interact ? Is a VBA macro allowed to mix both API ? Is python script allowed to use VBA objects and OOo objects ? Are VBA macros only restricted to MS File format (i see no technical reasons for this) For me, at the end, it will be the end of any scripting language except VBA one. Forget OOoBasic, python, Beanshell or javascript. VBA is widely spread due to MS file format domination. Many people do know how to create VBA macros and then it will end with a big proportion of this language. A lot of documentation exists and we will be asked more and more to implement VBA subtilities But, VBA is not free ! OOo Project has no influence on its specification and it can be changed without any warning (look at the difference between MsOffice versions) Moreover, what about legal issues ? Are we sure there are any patent on this ? Are we allowed to implement an interpreter ? Noel, I'm really enthousiastic by you project in a technical point of view. But, i have to say -1 for the resons i gave, unless we build some policies like (only proposal, ideas not worked) - restrict vba to ms office file format (not opendocument or addons) - translate the VBA source code to OOo API to only have to deal with one model So -1 for me But totally open to discussion Regards Laurent - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL

Re: [dev] How to keep users away from Base
Hi, Frank Schönheit - Sun Microsystems Germany wrote: Hi Matthias, I've just deregistered /IMPLEMENTATIONS/org.openoffice.comp.dbu.OApplicationController and that seems to get rid of the complete Base UI. Can you think of any bad side effects this may have? Is this controller used for any other services we might need? Nope. BTW, is there a reason why you deregister the abstract service and the implementation in your example instead of just the implementation? Is there a service I should be deregistering in addition to /IMPLEMENTATIONS/org.openoffice.comp.dbu.OApplicationController? It was a minimal attempt to keep the registry consistent, even if slight inconsistencies don't cause real harm. Normally, the structure is as follows: SERVICES service_A implementation_A_1 ... implementation_A_n service_B implementation_B_1 ... IMPLEMENTATIONS implementation_A_1 how_to_obtain_that_implementation ... ... implementation_A_n how_to_obtain_that_implementation ... implementation_B_1 how_to_obtain_that_implementation ... By removing IMPLEMENTATIONS/implementation_X_Y, you completely get rid of one implementation (Y) for one service (X), however, the SERVICES/service_X node is causing an inconsistency then. By removing the complete SERVICES/service_X node, you get rid of *all* implementations for this particular service, though the IMPLEMENTATIONS/ipmlementation_X_* nodes cause inconsistencies then. For a service which, as we know, has exactly one implementation, deleting both SERVICES/service_X and IMPLEMENTATIONS/implementation_X_1 gets rid of the concrete implementation, and leaves the registry consistent. To make it clear, this will be a hack and no official recommended way to do that. How these services and implementations entires are managed internally is an implementation detail and you should not expect that it will not change. Juergen I conclude that the following would probably be a good course of action to enforce our policy: - install with Base enabled (to make sure we have the DSB and other stuff we need) - de-register some services (probably just dbu.OApplicationController) - de-register .odb extension - remove Database from all Popups and the File Filters De-registering the filter is done somewhere in the configuration, and should automatically remove the respective entries in the file-open dialog. But don't ask me *where* exactly, the filter configuration is a closed book to me :) That should achieve the restrictions we want without the risk that some stuff we need will disappear in the future as the Install without Base feature progresses. Well, be aware of the fact that especially de-registering the services is not an officially supported way. It works, and most probably will continue to work, but there is a chance that it won't for all time (however, it *will* for 2.0). At least, you should go the safe way and search all implementation_X_* for a service_X, and remove all of those from the IMPLEMENTATIONS node. This way, your macro needs to know the service name only, and this one is fixed - as opposed to the implementation name, which is an implementation detail and can change without any notice. Do you see a way for us to achieve the last part, i.e. removing Database everywhere for a standard installation with Base enabled? Christian Junker mentioned the programmatic access to the toolbar icons, but I guess that this won't allow us to remove Database from the quickstarter popup. The only way I know to achieve this is by removing Base from the installation. However, it might be that the dispatch interception mechanism overrules this, so perhaps you can leave Base intact, and still disable the entries with dispatch interceptors. Not sure. However, since the only thing which disabling Base does is removing the DSB, there might be another way: - disable Base. This will remove the New database entries from everywhere, and the filter from the file-open dialog - create a dispatch interceptor for the DSB slot which properly opens it (and properly handles the state). This will overrule the built-in behaviour of disabling the slot when Base is not installed - disable the GUI with de-registering the services as needed. Not sure how laborious the second item would be, admittedly. Ciao Frank - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [dev] Ideas on mapping UNO IDL to Java 5
Hi, thanks for sharing your ideas ... 王在祥 wrote: I am a beginner of OpenOffice and I am learning the SDK document now. Instead, i found the mapping from IDL to java looks missing something: 1. the mapped Java classes contains less information than the IDL, By using the Java 5 annotations will solve this problem, and we can even write no IDL at all, and simply writing the Java classes, and using a tool to generate the IDL if neccessary. We cannot use Java 5 features because we have to be compatible with older versions. 2. the Out/In Out parameter mapping is something strange. I think using a OutHolderT or InOutHolderT will be more clear see above 3. No Service is mapped, this require the queryInterface called frequently. I think a Service can be mapped to an interface which may extends other interface or aggregate optional interface inside. that 's true for old services but not for the new UNO ease of use extensions. See http://udk.openoffice.org/common/man/draft/multinherit.html for more details. And more, i think there should be a util to generate the POJO mapping from exists IDL(Its better to include the documents in Java). i am not sure if I understand you but with the new javamaker tool we generate directly Java class files from the type library. The type library is currently necessary for the UNO runtime to get the necessary type information (Basic, C++). Yes we have thought about a TypeProvider who works on IDL or better on Java class files directly but haven't implement it until now.

Maybe i should do that during the configuration step in the future. 3. compiling C++ or Java sources in dependency of 1. or 2. if necessary For Java you have to create a manifest entry to indentify your registration class. 4a.

[dev] Programmability Workshop on the OO Conference Sep. 2005 in Koper
Hi, last year i've tried to organize such a workshop but in fact of to few interested people and sickness i was not able to do that. But i think the idea is it worth to try it again. The general idea is to offer one programming workshop during the OpenOffice.org conference 2005 in Koper if there is some interest. The workshop would address general questions regarding how to start, best practice, typical pitfalls, how to create an Add-on or a Calc Add-in, programming Java, C++ or Basic, ... To plan such a workshop i need some information: 1. Are you interested in this kind of workshop. If yes, would you like to register to the workshop when the workshop takes place on the community day (which is as far as i know one day before the official conference)? 2. Do you would prefer a half- or full-day workshop? 3. Are you willing to give a donation ;-) for OpenOffice.org when you would attend such a workshop? Requirements Attendees have to bring and use their own laptop. But if you only interested in listening you will be also welcome and maybe you can share a workplace with somebody. I am also interested in more ideas. So if you are interested or have some ideas please drop me an email.

Once you have Basic library you can simple put these library in a UNO package and the last thing is to define the package descriptor. descriptor should look like name: META-INF\manifest.xml ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? !DOCTYPE manifest:manifest PUBLIC -//OpenOffice.org//DTD Manifest 1.0//EN Manifest.dtd manifest:manifest xmlns:manifest=http://openoffice.org/2001/manifest; manifest:file-entry manifest:media-type=application/vnd.sun.star.basic-library manifest:full-path=ToolkitControls/ /manifest:manifest where ToolkitControls is the name of your Basic library. package structure example: name: mypackage.uno.pkg root\META-INF\manifest.xml \ToolkitControls\dialog.xlb \ToolkitControls\script.xlb \ToolkitControls\MultiPage.xba \ToolkitControls\MultiPageDlg.xdl \ToolkitControls\ In the future it will be possible to create such a package directly from the Basic IDE. - Juergen Ales Kahanek wrote: Hi, can anybody give me a hint how to create an uno package?

Re: [dev] re: using ant to create source from .idl file
Hi James, 1. idlc -Isdk/idl mytypes.idl - the idlc generates a mytypes.urd 2. normally we have several idl files and merge them together in for example allmytypes.rdb under the root key /UCR. The UCR key is a historical relict (i will change that compatible for the future) because we have had only one rdb file in the past and this key was used to organize the internal structure of the rdb file. Use: regmerge allmytypes.rdb /UCR mytypes.ucr 3. with the rdb file you can now generate C++ header files for all your types or you can directly generate Java class files C++ cppumaker -BUCR -Tmy.private.Type allmytypes.rdb -Xofficeprogrampath/types.rdb -Ooutputpath Java javamaker -BUCR -Tmy.private.Type allmytypes.rdb -Xofficeprogrampath/types.rdb -Ooutputpath or javamaker -BUCR allmytypes.rdb -Xofficeprogrampath/types.rdb -Ooutputpath The second one generates class files for all types iin allmytypes.rdb Juergen James Black wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I am hoping that someone could send me a sample of creating source from the .idl file, as it appears that there are a few steps to do this task.

Please repost in the newsgroup openoffice.lingucomponent.dev since that is the one devoted to discussion about the linguistic components in OOo.

The SDK contains an example how to implemnt a spellchecker component.

Hi Ary,
Hi, im trying to registry two interfaces inside the same .idl file...
I can't give you a workaround (others probably can), but AFAIK, the
creators of UNO IDL did explicitely intend, there should only be one
IDL type in one IDL file. This is a feature, not a bug. ;-)
That is not quite true. Technically, you can have as many declarations
as you like in one UNOIDL file (see Appendix B of the Developer's
Guide). But if we ever move from the model of textual include of UNOIDL
files within other UNOIDL files and of translating from UNOIDL to a
binary rdb to some other model that serves our needs better, there might
come a time where each UNOIDL declaration must live in a file of its
own. One more reason to stick to the prinicple of one declaration per
UNOIDL file.
By the way, the number of declarations per UNOIDL file was a red herring
in the original post. What was lacking there, I think, was to have one
Java class in the Java UNO component that registers multiple services
(if multiple services were indeed intended, I am not very fluent with
Calc add-ins).
exactly that is the point. You should create a small registration helper
class which does all the registration and instantiation stuff.
In the manifest you would only reference this helper
for example:
RegistrationClassName: root.mymodule.CompRegistrationHelper
package root.mymodule;
...
public class CompRegistrationHelper {
public static XSingleComponentFactory __getComponentFactory(
String sImplementationName ) {
XSingleComponentFactory xFactory = null;
if ( sImplementationName.equals(
NewInterfaceImpl.class.getName() ) )
xFactory = Factory.createComponentFactory(
NewInterfaceImpl.class,
NewInterfaceImpl.getServiceNames(
));
else if ( sImplementationName.equals(
MyInterfaceImpl.class.getName() ) )
xFactory = Factory.createComponentFactory(
MyInterfaceImpl.class,
MyInterfaceImpl.getServiceNames(
));
return xFactory;
}
public static boolean __writeRegistryServiceInfo(
XRegistryKey xRegistryKey ) {
boolean bReg1 = Factory.writeRegistryServiceInfo(
NewInterfaceImpl.class.getName(),
NewInterfaceImpl.getServiceNames(),
xRegistryKey );
boolean bReg2 = Factory.writeRegistryServiceInfo(

Re: [dev] Install-Macros on OO2
Hi Helmut, in the DevGuide you will find a chapter about UNO packages and how to deploy them (unopkg). The SDK comes with a lot of component examples, showing how to create UNO packages (C++/Java components, script library, BASIC library), and how these packages can be deployed. Once created such a package you can install it simply via UI (Tools-Package Manager) or using unopkg on command line directly. Probably the DevGuide chapter about add-ons is also interesting for you for own toolbars or new menu entries. - Juergen Tom Schindl wrote: I'll take a look in the dev-guide section where addons are described and other uno-packages.

[property] string sDocumentId;
[property] string sMacroParams;
[property] string sMacroResult;
[property] string sTriggerInvoked;
[property] string sTriggerComplete;
};
}; }; }; }; };
==
build proceeds using some ant targets modeled after the generic devguide
makefiles:
- this runs 'idlc' and 'regmerge' and creates a file JsTestOne.uno.rdb
- running 'regview' on this shows that there is a spec for interface
XJsTestOne
- but there is nothing beyond some hierarchy placeholders for service
JsTestOne
running 'javamaker' produces a skeleton JsTestOne.java and no evidence
of JsTestOne.
This seems to be the case for all the other stuff in the devguide.
- so the service 'specification' is implemented entirely in user-written
code
- no evidence of its contract is in the rdb file
There seems to be no point in writing or maintaining service IDL.
- unless it is to be used in extension of the service by some other
service idl.
- is this so?
yes, it is so for all old style services and i can't remember that in
the DevGuide is written that we generate code for this kind of services.
But i agree that it is not easy to understand when you familiar with
Corba. With our new style services this will change and a constructor
method is created for this services (see
http://udk.openoffice.org/common/man/draft/multinherit.html and the new
updated DevGuide, part of the SDK and online hopefully in the next days).
For your example i would suggest to use the a new style service and that
you adapt your interface accordingly.
interface XJsTestOne: com::sun::star::uno::XInterface {
boolean checkText( [in] string sCheckText );
boolean triggerComplete([in] long waitSeconds );
[attribute] string DocumentId {
get raises (UnknownPropertyException);
set raises (IllegalArgumentException);
};
[attribute] string MacroParams {
get raises (UnknownPropertyException);
set raises (IllegalArgumentException);
};
[attribute] string MacroResult {
get raises (UnknownPropertyException);
set raises (IllegalArgumentException);
};
[attribute] string TriggerInvoked {
get raises (UnknownPropertyException);
set raises (IllegalArgumentException);
};
// for example this is also possible and default get/set methods
are generated
[attribute] string TriggerComplete;
};
service JsTestOne : XJsTestOne {
// define here your own create methods, for example:
create([in]string sArgument)
raises (::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException);
};
Use a multiple inheritance interface if necessary and specify the
properties as attributes at the interface. For attributes get/set
methods will be created, where you can specify additional exceptions.
Inheritance of XInterface is done implicitly, you don't have to write it.
For your service you can specify additonal create methods, for example
with parameters. This create methods are internally mapped to a
createInstanceWithArgumentsAndContext call. In fact of this your
implementation has to implement XInitialization.
In your client code you can then simple write
XComponentContext xCtx = // get from anywhere;
XJsTestOne = JsTestOne.create( xCtx, Hello);
This new features are available with OO2.0
Hope this helps
- Juergen
- maybe it should be in the devguide.
What have I missed here?
The Visbroker Corba codewright engine created stubs for both interfaces
and services.

Re: [dev] UNO
Hi, Jacob Floyd wrote: I'm getting ready to create a new layer for OOo, and was told I should do it in UNO. However, I'm not sure how UNO helps me and I hope some one can explain this (read on): From what I understand UNO uses the network for different OOo components to talk to each other. Is this true? Of course it's true but only one facet of UNO. UNO is a component model which allows you to define interfaces language independent in UNOIDL. You can now implement UNO objects/components in one of the support languages. The advantage of such an abstaction is that you can exchange for example a C++ implementation of component A with an implmentation in Java if necessary. Or you use component A running in a process on a different machine but for the client it is transparent if the component runs in procss or on a different machine. See the DevGuide for more information about UNO (the chapters Professional UNO and Writing UNO Component should be interesting for you - an updated version is coming soon where the new UNO features are described)) In case of a toolit abstaction you can exchange the underlying implementation with a GTK based implementation, a Java Swing based implementation or something else. The code using the UNO interfaces (UNO abstraction) hasn't been rebuilt when you exchange the undelying implementation and that is of course a huge advantage. The problem for a new toolkit layer is to find a common abstaction which is complete but also general enough that it can be mapped to the different platform/language dependent graphic layers. Hope this make things clearer for you Juergen What happnes when a user doesn't have a network card or any network devices installed? And how does UNO help in writing a UI component. Note: I haven't read very far in the OO Developer Guide, but don't want to read all 1000+ pages only to find it's useless (and thus a major waste of my limited time). If it's explained in the document, and UNO really _is_ what I should use, then I'll read the docs. FYI I'm going to be working on a new chrome layer (I call it Silver Onion right now If you search the dev@gsl.openoffice.org list for silveronion you should be able to find the thread where I started talking about my ideas.) to replace VCL (not all of VCL just the chrome/event portions).
