OpenOffice API experts, I've inherited code for an OpenOffice extension in C++ that purportedly ran with a previous version of OpenOffice who knows how long ago. The code is throwing an exception. It is presently being built with Visual C++ 2008 and running under Windows 7, although I doubt that either of those is the problem. By the time the exception is caught, it is of type com::sun::star::uno::Exception & with the message "[context="user"] caught unexpected exception!". However, previous to that the debugger sees a com::sun::star::ucb::InteractiveAugmentedIOException, an 'anonymous namespace'::NoDescriptionException, a few com::sun::star::ucb::InteractiveAugmentedIOException's, and a com::sun::star::lang::WrappedTargetRuntimeException.
The code is below. I believe that it is preparing to load a graphic from the extension's installation directory. Perhaps there is an alternate way to do that now. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks. OUString getPathToExtensionRoot(const char* name) { OUString ouName = OUString::createFromAscii(name); // localContext seems to be good. It can be used for other things. Reference<XComponentContext> localContext = defaultBootstrap_InitialComponentContext(); Reference<XPackageInformationProvider> xPackageInformationProvider = PackageInformationProvider::get(localContext); // The following line crashes as does any other call using -> // xPackageInfoProvider.is() reports 1 try { OUString path = xPackageInformationProvider->getPackageLocation(ouName); return path; } catch (Exception &ex) { } return ouName; // just to return something } --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: api-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: api-h...@openoffice.apache.org
