Hi Jürgen,
it seems that we have a problem here. The design of the scripting
framework doesn't aloow to use it via UNO but it provides a Java
interface only. In the past we were able to reference the
ScriptingFramework.jar by luck even nobody has really thought about
it. Now that isn't possible anymore.
Why? What is the cause and the reasoning?
i think Stephan has already ansered this
He clarified that this behaviour was intentional (so it was not a
mistake for which one would. file an issue).
What would be interesting to learn is what the general philosophy behind
this behaviour is (e.g. which class loaders do exist, what policies do
they apply). Only then, would it be possible to really assess the
overall picture (and maybe even learning that everything is sound and
very clear).
Anyway, I will try (just tight on time right now, so it'll take some
time) to package the DEV300/m24 ScriptingFramework.jar into the
ScriptingProviderForooRexx.jar to see whether that makes a
difference. (But if it does, it certainly does not look like it is
o.k. as the very same DEV300/m24 ScriptingFramework.jar is already
installed!)
it should be only a workaround
Well, it does not make a difference. (But having learned that the
problem could be resolved in the meantime this is thankfully not a
problem anymore.)
It would be interesting to learn about the reasons, motivations, such
that one would become able to understand (and maybe question) these
decisions.
well, it's sometimes quite easy. We are all busy and the work have to
be done. Code freeze for OO.org 3.0 was last week and issues have to
be prioritized. I saw it as a minor issue that of course affects you
but probably not too many others. There is no special reason and i
would like to see it get fixed for OO.org 3.0. We will see.
As you know, what is a minor issue for one may be a big issue for
another one. In this particular case you may be right, but it could also
be, that others could have been bitten by this (once OOo 3.0 went GA,
everyone who tries to add a scripting language to OOo via its scripting
framework).
Maybe there is an opportunity someday to talk about some of these things
over a beer or two...
:)
