porting the code from SDK 2.4.1 to SDK 3.1

Hello,

 

A few months ago I developed a Windows application based on OpenOffice.org SDK 2.4.1 that supposed to convert any *.odt files to .pdf format. The application was written in C++ and I was very excited because actually it worked very well.

 

Recently, I have upgraded to OpenOffice.org 3.1 and installed the latest SDK. First, I have discovered that when using cppumaker application to install C++ headers, some of the .hpp and .hdl files were missing.

To install the C++ headers in includecpp folder I have used the following command:

 

cppumaker -BUCR -O <oo_sdk_path>\includecpp <oo_root>\URE\misc\types.rdb

 

My application uses XComponentLoader and XStorable interfaces. As the XComponentLoader.hpp  and XStorable.hpp  files were missing, I tried to compile the XComponentLoader.idl and XStorable.idl files respectively using the following command script:

 

idlc -C -I..\idl ..\idl\com\sun\star\frame\XComponentLoader.idl

regmerge XComponentLoader.rdb /UCR <oo_sdk_path>\idl\com\sun\star\frame\XComponentLoader.urd

cppumaker -BUCR -O <oo_sdk_path>\includecpp <oo_root>\URE\misc\types.rdb <oo_root>\URE\bin\XComponentLoader.rdb

 

idlc -C -I..\idl ..\idl\com\sun\star\frame\XStorable.idl

regmerge XStorable.rdb /UCR <oo_sdk_path>\idl\com\sun\star\frame\ XStorable.urd

cppumaker -BUCR -O <oo_sdk_path>\includecpp <oo_root>\URE\misc\types.rdb <oo_root>\URE\bin\XStorable.rdb

 

Finally, I got the files needed for my application to compile into the includecpp folder:

#include <com/sun/star/frame/XComponentLoader.hpp>

#include <com/sun/star/frame/XStorable.hpp>

 

Now, I’m experiencing some run-time problems when trying to query for XComponentLoader interface:

 

//get the desktop service

Reference< XInterface > Desktop = OfficeServiceManager->createInstance(OUString::createFromAscii("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop"));

if(Desktop == NULL || !Desktop.is())

{

   OutputDebugString(_T("Couldn't get the desktop service"));

   return false;

}

 

//query for the XComponentLoader interface

Reference< XComponentLoader > rComponentLoader(Desktop, UNO_QUERY);

 

Error message:

First-chance exception at 0x7c812afb in odt2pdf.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: com::sun::star::container::NoSuchElementException at memory location 0x0121f4e0..

Furthermore, when I validate the result:

 

if(rComponentLoader == NULL || !rComponentLoader.is())

{

   OutputDebugString(_T("Error: XComponentLoader unsuccessfully instanciated\n"));

   return false;

}

 

the application freezes and a stack overflow error message pops up:

 

Is there any SDK installation/configuration step that I have missed?

I really need to fix this issue as soon as possible, so any advice will be very much appreciated.

 

Also, is there any way to generate all the C++ source code files from the UNO IDL definitions?

 

Thank you for your support,
