Java Bridge to XPCOM
====================
This directory contains the beginnings of the Java Bridge to XPCOM.
For now it is disconnected from the main Mozilla build, because as yet
it is good for no more than a few demo and test programs, and because
Java compilation on Unix and Linux doesn't work quite right (as of
Aug 13, 1999).
The source is divided into four directories
classes
Java source files
src
Native code (C++/C) for Java classes and stub support
test
Test code, including a dummy XPCOM component
tools
Support tools:
genproxy -- Generates Java source for a proxy class
to an XPCOM object. (Eventually will
generate bytecodes and interfaces.)
Build
-----
Currently only UNIX/Linux builds are supported (mainly because it's my
platform of choice). Windows builds should not be too much more
difficult, and
1. Make sure MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME is set correctly, and that JDKHOME indicates
a valid JDK 1.2 installation.
2. Insure that the following are in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME
$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/../lib
mozilla/java/xpcom/test (or "." if you run in that directory)
mozilla/java/xpcom/src (or "../src" if you run in "test")
3. In mozilla/java/xpcom, execute
../../build/autoconf/update-makefile.sh
if necessary, to generate a Makefile, and then
gmake JAVAC="javac -g -d $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/../classes"
This is to get around bugs in Java compilation.
4. Change directories to mozilla/java/xpcom/test
5. Execute
gmake -f Makefile.test
This has the side effect of creating JSISample.xpt in the main
Mozilla components directory; all other libraries, executables, and
Java class files reside in the test directory.
Tests
-----
Both tests use the JSSample component, whose methods do nothing more
than print out the in and out arguments, and perhaps perform a simple
operation.
xptest
This program takes the name of a JSSample method and a number
of "in" parameters (coerced from strings to the expected
data types), executes the method, and returns. It is mainly
useful to test whether the "xpjava" native functions still
work correctly, independently of the JVM.
Sample invocation:
./xptest AddTwoInts 1 1
Output:
Starting ...
Initializing XPCOM
<some debugging messages>
Registering Allocator
Getting InterfaceInfoManager
Registering Sample Factory
AddTwoInts:
0: type = 2, in
1: type = 2, in
2: type = 2, out, retval
Consuming 1
Consuming 1
Arguments are:
0) 1 : type 2, ptr=(nil)
1) 1 : type 2, ptr=(nil)
2) 7566446 : type 2, ptr=0x804fae8, data
Calling XPTC_InvokeByIndex( 0x80932d0, 23, 3, 0x804fac8)
Results are:
0) 1 : type 2, ptr=(nil)
1) 1 : type 2, ptr=(nil)
2) 2 : type 2, ptr=0x804fae8, data
XPCTest.main()
This is a Java version of xptest. Unlike xptest, each
non-String argument to the method must be preceded by a flag
indicating its type, out parameters require a "placeholder
flag":
-c: char
-b: byte
-s: short
-i: int
-j, -l: long
-f: float
-d: double
-z: boolean
-r: placeholder for retval
-0: placeholder for out param (equiv. to -r)
If the "command" argument is a number, XPCTest invokes the
XPCOM method with that offset.
Sample invocation:
java -native XPCTest AddTwoInts -i 1 -i 1 -r
Output:
Initializing XPCOM
Registering Allocator
Getting InterfaceInfoManager
Command: AddTwoInts, arguments: [1, 1, null]
Results: [1, 1, 2]
Notes:
1. You must run native threads; Mozilla loads the native
thread library, and the JVM will panic if it has to
load both native and green threads.
2. Because of the way the JDK links shared libraries,
you must have a valid mozilla/dist/bin/component.reg;
otherwise, XPCOM will not bootstrap correctly.
Note that "apprunner" and "xptest" will create one.
Future versions will fix this limitation.
