I am buiding a simple XPCOM component. but firefox crashes everytime when I am trying to call a method of this xpcom component.
the file hierarchy is below:
HelloXpcom.xpi
---chrome.manifest
---install.rdf
---chrome
------content
---------sample.xul
---components
------HelloXpcom.dll
------nsISample.xpt
chrome.manifest snippet
content sample chrome/content/
interfaces components/nsISample.xpt
binary-component components/HelloXpcom.dll
overlay chrome://browser/content/browser.xul chrome://sample/content/sample.xul
my interface idl:
#include "nsISupports.idl"
[scriptable, uuid(F7F48977-382E-461B-B04A-44567EE6D45A)]
interface nsISample : nsISupports
{
attribute string value;
void writeValue(in string aPrefix);
void poke(in string aValue);
};
use xpidl.exe to generate npISample.h and npISample.xpt. and all the implementation methods are almost nothing, just do some simple thing.
sample.xul
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<overlay id="sample"
xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">
<statusbar id="status-bar">
<script>
function DoXPCOM()
{
try {
alert("1");
var sample = Components.classes["@baofeng/sample;1"].createInstance();
alert("2");
sample = sample.QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsISample);
alert("3");
dump("sample = " + sample + "\n");
}
catch(err) {
alert(err);
return;
}
var res = sample.SetValue("123");
var str = "";
obj.GetValue(str);
alert(str);
}
</script>
<button label="xpcom" oncommand="DoXPCOM();"/>
</statusbar>
</overlay>
"alert("1");"
is executed, It crashes at "Components.classes["@baofeng/sample;1"].createInstance();"
the contact ID "@baofeng/sample;1"
is recognized by firefox, if not, there should be some info like "@baofeng/sample;1"
undefined pops out. So the createInstance() method is the point.
can someone help me out of this?
