Hi there,
currently debugging a scripting language added to OOo 3.3 via an
oxt-extension. The integration into OOo is done using the OOo beanshell
programs, but adapted to the scripting language.
The scripting language is ooRexx and there is a library that needs to be
loaded via Java (using System.loadLibrary("BSF4ooRexx"), which on MacOSX
is named "libBSF4ooRexx.dylib" and located in "/usr/lib" and
"/usr/lib/java".
Now the odd behaviour:
1. If using "Tools -> Macros -> Organize Macros -> Edit" and running
the script off the edit-window, everything works fine. The
BSF4ooRexx library is found and used to run the script via the
ooRexx interpreter. After doing this once one can execute any
ooRexx macro by merely having it run, i.e. "Too.ls -> Macros ->
Run" or "Tools -> Macros -> Organize Macros -> Run".
2. If all instances of OOo have been shut down, and then the same
ooRexx script gets executed via "Tools -> Macros -> Run", then an
exception is thrown indicating that the library was not found!
After such an error, even using the steps described above, would
not successfully allow to load the library!
o Now closing all instances of OOo and then starting over as
described in step # 1 above, everything works again as
described above.
Going through the Java sourcecode that gets employed, the same steps are
undertaken to load the ooRexx scripting engine. I.e.
"ScriptProviderForooRexx.java" and
"ScriptSourceModel.java"; the sourcecode of these files could be seen
via the web using
<http://bsf4oorexx.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/bsf4oorexx/trunk/com/sun/star/script/framework/provider/oorexx/>
(just click on the filename and then choose "view").
It seems that success and unsuccess is not caused by the scripting
framework support, but seems to be linked to how OOo instantiates the
ooRexx scripting framework?
* Like, if the OOo dispatch interface is attempting to loading the
scripting language it fails (and makes subsequent attempts to fail
as well),
* whereas if using the scripting framework editor to load a script
first thing and run it off the editor in the first OOo session,
then everything works (also subsequent dispatches).
Does anyone have any ideas what might cause such a phenomenon?
Any ideas highly welcome!
TIA,
