RE: MIMEType of folder

2013-06-16 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton
If you are talking about content items within an ODF Package, whether a path is 
considered that of a folder is determined in the ODF Package manifest.xml file. 
 The manifest.xml file will specify the MIME TYPE of the collection of items 
having the same path in the beginning of their file names when that collection 
has significance taken as a unit (more than just sharing a common prefix on 
their names).  

*** If you are not asking about that case, you can stop here ***

TMI;DNR

Some implementations create manifest.xml file entries for folders for no 
particular purpose (the MIME TYPE is not set).  These are unnecessary.  There 
is no requirement to have every path segment reflected in the manifest.  Only 
those that prefix a collection of items where the collection has a specific 
MIME type need to be distinguished.  The MIMETYPE indicates what is special 
about items in that particular collection other than their names having a 
common prefix of "/"-separated parts.

"Folders" have MIMETYPE entries, for example, when the items of another ODF 
document are embedded in another ODF document instead of embedding the other 
document's package as a single item.  The common prefix on the Zip file names 
of those embedded items will have an entry that provides the ODF MIMETYPE for 
the embedded document.  Actual files embedded in the ODF package, including 
another ODF package as a single file are required to have entries in 
manifest.xml that gives their MIMETYPEs.  

You might need to experiment to see if the Apache OpenOffice SDK or source-code 
objects you are using return a default MIMETYPE for manifest entries having no 
specified MIMETYPE and whether it will do that even for paths used in the 
filenames and not identified in the manifest.  I suspect that happens if the 
API you are using provides navigation of the package as if it is a hierarchical 
collection of folders.  This is a synthesis.  The files in the Zip have no 
hierarchical organization, although the contained files can have names of a 
hierarchical form, often for conceptual convenience and as a way to keep names 
separated into useful non-conflicting categories, such as "META-INF/...", 
"Configurations2/...", etc.  

Please note that this narrative is from the perspective of the ODF 
specifications, not incidentals of implementations, even though those 
incidentals matter if you encounter them in the API or object model of Apache 
OpenOffice.

read the API doc carefully:
http://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/ucb/Content.html
Properties - Mandatory properties - ContentType

"contains a unique type string for the content ( i.e.
"application/vnd.sun.star.hierarchy-link" ).

This property is always read-only.

The ContentType should not be confused with the MIME media type ( MIME
types ) of the content. Media types may be provided through the optional
property "MediaType".

The value of this property should match the information on creatable
contents given by UCB contents that implement the property
"CreatableContentsInfo"."

a) do not confuse ContentType with MediaType (the MIME type)

b) the value of ContentType is up to the implementation, search for
application/ in main/ucb/source/ucp/ to get an idea
http://opengrok.adfinis-sygroup.org/source/search?q=application%2F&path=%2Faoo-trunk%2Fmain%2Fucb%2Fsource%2Fucp%2F&project=aoo-trunk

Something like

application/cmis-content-folder
application/cmis-content-document

Hello,

I created a new UNO project with some modified code and renamed it to
CMISContentProvider and deleted my old project. I created the .oxt for new
project and installed it in the extension manager. But, the error stack
trace printed by my test client application still points to my previous
CMISContentProvider. My stack trace shows error from connectToRepository()
which is not there any more in my new project.

How do I resolve this?

I don't understand what you've done, but it looks like you have the two
versions installed at the same time; the obvious: did you restart the
application completely? If restarting does not work, remove the user
profile with all the extensions.

By the way, how are you debugging all this? You should debug both the
client application and the UNO component, at the same time.

For the time being, I've listed the available translations at

Also, the original EN doc have a missing half paragraph under

If you fix the translation according to Rory's explanation, pelase keep

Please study this example:
http://people.apache.org/~arielch/extensions/OneInstanceJob.zip

It has a UNO component implementing a css.task.Job.

The Job will be instantiated every time a new document is created or
loaded. With the standard factory helper, createInstanceWithContext
returns always a new instance; with the modified factory helper in that
example, there is only one instance of the job.

The difference is in having several instances of your content provider,
versus having a single instance during all the application lifetime.
Recall: you have to cache UCB contents, you may get several call to
queryContent() with the same content id, one after the other, and you
should return the same content.

Side note: caching contents does not mean caching content's properties;
on the contrary, your implementation should decide which properties are
cachable and which not (see for example isCachable() in
ucb/source/ucp/webdav/ContentProperties.cxx).

The proper way is setting break points in the source, watching
variables, etc.

How are you deploying your extension? How are you debugging it?

The task is: inside the same IDE, you have to debug your component once
the extension is installed; and you have to test it with a client
application that you also have to debug.

Right-click on the project root inside NetBeans, the context menu has
some AOO specific options:

a) Debug Extension in target AOO
b) Deploy and Run Extension in AOO

(a) will create a user profile inside the build folder
(build/soffice_debug) that will be removed every time you clean the
project. The extension will be installed for this user profile only.

This has some advantages and some drawbacks, one is that the client
application to test the extension cannot use the simple bootstrap
mechanism because it is likely to boostrap an office with your default
user profile, not this profile inside the build directory of your NB
project.

One possible solution to debug both the extension and the client
application:

- configure the JVM used by AOO to listen for debugger connections, see
  
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Scripting_in_Java_with_NetBeans_IDE#Java_configuration_in_OpenOffice.org_Options_dialog
  (do not use port 8000 as in the example, choose other number like
  9009)
- deploy the extension in your default user profile
- attach the debugger: inside NetBeans, menu Debug - Attach Debugger (see
  http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/File:023_attach_debugger_config.png
  but change the port to the one you chose in the step above)
- set break points in the extension/component sources
- set break points in the client application
- Debug the client application Ctr + F5 with the project select

With this steps you should be able to debug the client application and
the UNO component together, while the first uses the second.

Draw back: every time you change your component's sources you should
deploy the extension (and restart the office).

This is a good start.

I wonder if the main page (index.html) should the end-user facing
page, e.g., the distributor listings?   And then have the FAQ be in
distributor-faqs.html or something like that?   Not a big deal, just
an idea.  Do we know what existing incoming links from 3rd party
websites point to?  (or even OO websites?)   Whatever URL was used for
the distributor list before should probably stay as the listing page.
That way the existing links will still be accurate.

http://www.openoffice.org/distribution/distributors.html

Instead of "Location" maybe "Countries Served" or something like that.
 Or, in the application process we have a "data dictionary" that
explains exactly what we want in each field.  (I'm assuming that it
would be common for someone in the US to be able to sent to Canada
easily, and someone within the EU can cover more than one country if
they want.

"Additional Information"?  I'd drop that unless we think it is really
necessary.  Otherwise it is easy for that to turn into an
advertisement.  Additional information can go on their website.

It is a good start.  Maybe we iterate just a little bit mo

 I would like to clarify the silent installation process in AOO, the
 Installation guide (which is for OOo) talks about running an MSI.

 At the moment Windows versions are in an .exe file, no MSI to be found.

 Q

 perform
 such installation?
