Hi, Mozilla community, please help!
I think maybe the group is not very active, or just want to ignore my
newbie questions, I didn't receive response I posted yesterday.
Here, let me explain my situation.
I am a Java programmer (I think pretty good java programmer).
Understand COM quite well, though not doing C/C++ coding for that.
I program in Windows, do not have any experience in GTK and other unix
GUI toolkit.
Now I am trying to do something as embed mozilla in swt for the windows
platform.
SWT is an IBM widget toolkit for Java, I see someone discuss about it on
the maillist before about it. It use native widget and wrap it in java.
Also, SWT provide a lot of native methods that doing OS call and memory
copy between Java and the native system. Also, swt for windows also
provide COM/OLE support, it provides a very easy way for using COM/OLE
object and implement COM/OLE object in Java.
This seem to me a very good candidate to embed Mozilla in Java.
So I begin trying, and got a lot of questions (don't forget I am newbie
in mozilla :-)
1. Is XPCOM binary compatible with COM/OLE?
In swt, it use vtbl to call COM/OLE methods. I want to just use that
provided by swt, then I needn't write my native code.
2. what is the "string"/"wstring"/"domstring" mean in XPCOM?
What is the binary format of each of them? Since I need to package the
java String into a memory buffer then pass the pointer of the buffer to
XPCOM methods, so I need to know the format for this buffer.
3. Is there anything similiar to IDispatch? How I do dynamically get
property and call methods?
4. How does nsIComponentRegistrar.enumeratoeContractID work?
What will the nsISimpleEnumerator.getNext() return then? It seemed in
mozilla, the documentation is too little.
5. How I make the webbrowser component to be registered?
I did soemthing be able to call NS_InitXPCOM2, NS_GetComponentManager,
then when I try to createInstanceByContractID(), I get
NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED. I don't know how to register it. I am
using the "c:/mozilla" directory as the working directory, and pass NULL
to the NS_InitXPCOM2() method. I also tried to call
NS_GetComponentRegistrar.autoRegister(NULL), but still fail.
Thanks in advance.
