Description Stephan Bergmann 2007-03-02 09:39:36 UTC 
UNO "new style" service constructors

  service S: X { ctor([in] T1 a1, ...) raises (E1, E2); };

are currently a thin wrapper around
com.sun.star.lang.XMultiComponentFactory.createInstanceWith[ArgumentsAnd]Context,
where the Arguments-version internally uses com.sun.star.lang.XInitialization. 
That has at least two drawbacks:

1  Multiple constructors need to have different argument signatures (this is
even enforced in UNOIDL and idlc), so that the service implementation can
discriminate the various constructors.

2  XInitialization is called on a completed object, so implementations need to
take care of their potentially half-initialized state, which makes them more
complex than necessary.
Comment 1 Stephan Bergmann 2007-03-02 09:43:03 UTC 
...the idea is to improve this by offering direct support in the UNO language
bindings (like mapping UNO service constructors directly to Java class
constructors).
Comment 2 Daniel Boelzle [:dbo] 2007-03-02 10:10:31 UTC 
Just a note/suggestion about -2- which might be helpful:
Omitting the need to implement lang::XInitialization, I have developed a
solution in comphelper/servicedecl.hxx some time ago. The factory object maps
all IDL ctors (with arguments) to a single C++ ctor(args, context). Together
with a type-safe helper to unwrap the arguments (comphelper/unwrapargs.hxx),
implementing a service ctor is pretty slim and all init code could be done in
the ctor.
Comment 3 Martin Hollmichel 2007-12-07 13:00:32 UTC 
set target to 3.x according to http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Target_3x
Comment 4 Marcus 2017-05-20 11:31:34 UTC 
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
