[api-dev] One or two questions ad "XMulti{Component|Service}Factory" ... (Re: [api-dev] Java and com.sun.star.beans.XIntrospection.inspect() ?

[Rony G. Flatscher]

Hi there, You probably need to debug this on the soffice side.  The function component_getFactory in stoc/source/inspect/introspection.cxx would be the starting point to find out why instantiating the service "com.sun.star.beans.Introspection" does not work. thank you very much for this pointer. Did take a look at the sources right before I left, just to learn that debugging it would need quite some knowledge which I would need to build from the scratch (hence being rather time-consuming, a resource, which at the moment is extremely scarce). --- While experimenting I *think* I found out that although I can get into a state where initializing "com.sun.star.beans.Introspection" does not work, while instantiating "com.sun.star.reflection.CoreReflection" would work in my envrionment. For that reason I will be creating an own Java class which uses XIdReflection from CoreReflection to analyze the class in the needed fashion (methods, fields). For instantiating "com.sun.star.reflection.CoreReflection" I need either a "XMultiComponentFactory" (with a supplied context) or "XMultiServiceFactory" (no context needed). Question: is it possible to merely use "com.sun.star.comp.helper.Bootstrap", method "createSimpleServiceManager()" to get at a factory able to create the CoreReflection instance, which allows for reflecting remote UNO objects, possibly from different connections? If not, is it possible to infer from an UNO object, from which connection it stems and get at that context (from which its ServiceManager could be retrieved via the singleton "/singletons/com.sun.star.lang.theServiceManager") resp. that object's ServiceManager? Or maybe rephrased: if reflecting an UNO object, does one need to use an instance of "com.sun.star.reflection.CoreReflection" from the same context as the reflected UNO object? TIA & regards, ---rony
