	xml file with capabilities by Henrik /KaarPoSoft :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message If I want to provide a static xml file with capabilities for my plugin instead of using osync_capability_new in code, what do I call the file and where do I put it? Also: is the correct root element in the XML <capabilities> as in xmlformat test cases or <Cap> as in the group files ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

(again a cmake variable is available): ${OPENSYNC_DESCRIPTIONSDIR}/mozilla-sync.xml there are even cmake macros to install the description and capabilites file OPENSYNC_PLUGIN_DESCRIPTIONS( mozilla-sync-desc.xml ) OPENSYNC_PLUGIN_CAPABILITIES( mozilla-sync-caps.xml ) > Also: is the correct root element in the XML <capabilities> as in > xmlformat test cases or <Cap> as in the group files ? [...] the XML schema for capabities can be found here: https://svn.opensync.org/trunk/misc/schemas/capabilities.xsd So its <Caps><ObjType ...><Cap>...</Cap></ObjType></Caps> Further questions?

	Re: xml file with capabilities by Henrik /KaarPoSoft :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Thank you very, very much for the detailed answer! This helps a lot. I will try to make it work for mozilla-sync. Just one follow-up question The description.xml has much of the same info as the XXX_discover function. Which is the preferred way of setting this? The xml file or the discover function? /Henrik Daniel Gollub wrote: > On Tuesday 20 October 2009 06:47:00 pm Henrik /KaarPoSoft wrote: > >> If I want to provide a static xml file with capabilities for my plugin >> instead of using osync_capability_new in code, what do I call the file >> and where do I put it? >> > > > > $datadir/libopensync1/capabilities/ > > e.g. /usr/local/share/libopensync1/capabilities/ > > > > There is also a CMake variable you use to install to the correct path: > ${OPENSYNC_CAPABILITIESDIR} > > e.g. ${OPENSYNC_CAPABILITIESDIR}/mozilla-sync.xml > > > Beside this capabilities file, you need also to write a "description" file > which points/refers the filename of your capabilities file (e.g. mozilla- > sync.xml) > > Example of such a descriptino file is: > trunk/misc/descriptions/syncml-nokia.xml > > -----8<----- > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> > <versions version="0.1"> > <version> > <PlugIn>SyncML</PlugIn> > <Priority>100</Priority> > <Vendor>Nokia</Vendor> > <ModelVersion>7650</ModelVersion> > <FirmwareVersion></FirmwareVersion> > <SoftwareVersion></SoftwareVersion> > <HardwareVersion></HardwareVersion> > <Identifier>syncml-nokia-7650.xml</Identifier> > </version> > </versions> > ----->8----- > > In your case: > > -----8<----- > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> > <versions version="0.1"> > <version> > <PlugIn>mozilla-sync</PlugIn> > <Priority>100</Priority> > <Vendor>Nokia</Vendor> > <ModelVersion></ModelVersion> > <FirmwareVersion></FirmwareVersion> > <SoftwareVersion></SoftwareVersion> > <HardwareVersion></HardwareVersion> > <Identifier>mozilla-sync.xml</Identifier> > </version> > </versions> > ------>8---- > > Note that <Identifier> needs to be the filename (not the path!) of the > capabilities xml file. > > place this as ...

OpenSync will later find the best fitting description file. The description winner's "<Reference>" will then choosen as reference for the capabilities file, which get used as the capabilities for this plugin/member/device ... In your case this looks pretty complex ... but this would allow you to support different version of mozilla-sync which might have different capabilities. e.g. due to bugs, or new features or so ... The many reason is actually for more general plugins to support different peers at the same time with compelelty different capabilities.
