Isn't it funny how documenting a problem leads you to the solution!
I now realize I don't need a definiton of XGraphicObjectShape. It's done
through property sets.
I can create the object and set it's GraphicURL property as follows:
XShape shape =
(XShape)msf.createInstance("com.sun.star.drawing.GraphicObjectShape");
XPropertySet xPropSet =
(unoidl.com.sun.star.beans.XPropertySet)shape;
xPropSet.setPropertyValue("GraphicURL", new
uno.Any(sNewUrl));
Problem solved!
