Re: Registration done - next steps. Re: Problems Registering a XPCOM component in XULrunner environment Re: Question: How to reliably create a XPCOM component for use with javaxpcom?

Javier,

Thanks for the response it definitely kickstarted me in the right
direction.
It turns out that I did not have my classpath updated like you
suspected, however even once I did that I still got the exception.

On closer inspection it seems to be the case that JavaXPCOM
implementation requires  the component interfaces to be in the
org.mozilla.xpcom package. Once I 'moved' my interfaces were part of
that package it all worked.

I really need to clarify regarding the test component - I am not
interested in writing components in Java, the components I am writing
and currently testing with are all C++ components.


Thank you for your help in this matter.  I'm off to do some more
prototyping and probably will have more questions. :^)

Best regards,


Martin
