Sorry for troubling you again.
I am trying to create one sample JavaScript XPCOM component.But not able to
instantiate JavaScript XPCOM component from C++ code.
Steps to create JavaScript XPCOM component-
1) Create nsIHelloWorld.idl file for nsIHelloWorld interface.
2) Create nsIHelloWorld.js file
3) Generating .xpt and header file using Python22.0.
4) Instantiate JavaScript XPCOM component from C++ code.
Code-
nsIHelloWorld.idl
----------------------------------------------------------
#include "nsISupports.idl"
[scriptable, uuid(8e001740-322b-11e3-aa6e-0800200c9a66)]
interface nsIHelloWorld : nsISupports
{
string Hellovasu();
};
----------------------------------------------------------
nsIHelloWorld.js
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm");
function HelloWorld()
{
}
HelloWorld.prototype = {
classDescription: "My Hello World Javascript XPCOM Component",
classID: Components.ID("{031572f4-3629-11e3-98fd-ce3f5508acd9}"),
contractID: "@keynote.com/firefox/helloworld;1",
QueryInterface: XPCOMUtils.generateQI([Components.interfaces.nsIHelloWorld]),
Hellovasu: function() {
return "Hello World!";
}
};
var components = [HelloWorld];
if (XPCOMUtils.generateNSGetFactory)
this.NSGetFactory = XPCOMUtils.generateNSGetFactory([components]); //
Firefox 4.0 and higher
else
var NSGetModule = XPCOMUtils.generateNSGetModule([components]); // Firefox
3.x
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
chrome.manifest
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
interfaces components/nsIHelloWorld.xpt
component 031572f4-3629-11e3-98fd-ce3f5508acd9 nsIHelloWorld.js
contract @keynote.com/firefox/helloworld;1
{031572f4-3629-11e3-98fd-ce3f5508acd9}
application={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instantiate JavaScript XPCOM compnent from C++ code
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include "nsComponentManagerUtils.h"
#include "nsIHelloWorld.h"
nsCOMPtr<nsISupports> iSupports =
do_CreateInstance("@keynote.com/Firefox/helloworld;1",&rv1);
or
nsCOMPtr<nsIHelloWorld> ihello =
do_CreateInstance("@keynote.com/Firefox/helloworld;1",&rv1);
Not able to instantiate helloworld component.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Logs value for IHello and rv1 in hexa formet- IHello=0 rv1=80040154
Do you fell anything missing or wrong in this code? If you have any better
approach or solution please suggest me. I am completely stuck here.
Regards
Vasu
