Need example on passing an XML object to a JWS webservice

Hello,
Does anyone have an example on how to pass an xml object to a JWS webservice?
I have created a webservice and passed parameters as such:
https://myserver.test.com:7777/lookups/lookups_db/AmsDBClient.jws/getStaffInformation?userName=kkwiatek
But there has got to be a way to pass an xml object, right? How?
Thanks,
Keith

As an example of a JWS that expects and XML Object, try a method like the following:
public XmlObject simpleXmlObject(noNamespace.PurchaseOrderDocument poDoc){
return XmlObject.Factory.parse("<newXml>"+poDoc.xmlText()+"</newXml>");
where noNamespace.PurchaseOrderDocument comes from compiling the po.xsd that is available in the W3C XML Schema spec.
From your URL it appears you are trying to use a REST style web service. Is this correct?
You will NOT be able to invoke this method via a get query like you mention below. For you to invoke this method you should use SOAP over HTTP.
Are you still having problems with this?

Not able to pass cyclic XML schema type to a webservice method

I have a webservice method called getData(GetDataDocument
gDoc).
I constructed a request with object (which exactly satisfy
the XML schema def) to call up the getData(). [From my java client
also I did the same; but the java classes have been generated using
apache's xmlBeans; this works fine with the same kind of request].
But the soap request constructed from flex does not get
generated with all the values that I set in the request object.
On further observation, I found out that if the schema
involves cyclic elements, the soap request is not getting
constructed as desired.
My schema def:
<complexType name="PredicateBagType">
<sequence>
<choice>
<element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0"
name="PredicateBag" type="tns:PredicateBagType"/>
<element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0"
name="BinaryPredicate" type="tns:BinaryPredicateType"/>
<element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0"
name="UnaryPredicate" type="tns:UnaryPredicateType"/>
</choice>
</sequence>
<attribute name="contextNode"
type="tns:contextNodeIDType"/>
<attribute default="false" name="negate"
type="boolean"/>
<attribute name="type"
type="tns:PredicateBagTypeType"/>
</complexType>
Note that the PredicateBagType may contain another
PredicateBagType.
I have constructed my request with objects in my flex
application . Though I have set the BinaryPredicate object in my
PredicateBag object, the soap request constructed looks like this
which is not desired
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="

<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<tns:get_Data maxPrograms="0" personalInfoUse="false"

<tns:RequestedTables>
<tns:Table type="ProgramInformationTable"/>
</tns:RequestedTables>
</tns:get_Data>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>.
If I comment out the PredicateBagType choice in my xsd, the
flex application constructs the soap request looks like this.
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

<tns:RequestedTables>
<tns:Table type="ProgramInformationTable"/>
</tns:RequestedTables>
</tns:get_Data>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
This request holds good. But I cannot comment out the
PredicateBagType from my choice. Is this an issue with soap request
construction issue in Flex..?

Yes, <choice> is just "partial" supported in Flex 2 .

The following XML Schema structures or structure attributes

Very urgent help needed- Error while passing XML document to Oracle stored

Hi !
I have been struggling a lot to call Oracle 9i stored procedure passing Stringbuilder object type from ASP.NET
I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional, OS: Windows XP and Oracle: 9.2.0.1.0
Following is the procedure:
CREATE or REPLACE PROCEDURE loadCompanyInfo (clobxml IN clob) IS
-- Declare a CLOB variable
ciXML clob;
BEGIN
-- Store the Purchase Order XML in the CLOB variable
ciXML := clobxml;
-- Insert the Purchase Order XML into an XMLType column
INSERT INTO companyinfotbl (companyinfo) VALUES (XMLTYPE(ciXML));
commit;
--Handle the exceptions
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
raise_application_error(-20101, 'Exception occurred in loadCompanyInfo procedure :'||SQLERRM);
END loadCompanyInfo ;
And following is the ASP.net code:
StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder();
b.Append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>");
b.Append("<item>");
b.Append("<price>500</price>");
b.Append("<description>some item</description>");
b.Append("<quantity>5</quantity>");
b.Append("</item>");
//Here you'll have the Xml as a string
string myXmlString1 = b.ToString();
//string result;
using (OracleConnection objConn = new OracleConnection("Data Source=testdb; User ID=testuser; Password=pwd1"))
OracleCommand objCmd = new OracleCommand();
objCmd.Connection = objConn;
objCmd.CommandText = "loadCompanyInfo";
objCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
//OracleParameter pmyXmlString1 = new OracleParameter("pmyXmlString1", new OracleString(myXmlString1));
objCmd.Parameters.Add("myXmlString1", OracleType.clob);
objCmd.Parameters.Add(myXmlString1).Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
//objCmd.Parameters.Add("result", OracleType.VarChar).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
try
objConn.Open();
objCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
catch (Exception ex)
Label1.Text = "Exception: {0}" + ex.ToString();
objConn.Close();
When I am trying to execute it, I am getting the following error:
Exception: {0}System.Data.OracleClient.OracleException: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'LOADCOMPANYINFO' ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement ignored at System.Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection.CheckError(OciErrorHandle errorHandle, Int32 rc) at System.Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand.Execute(OciStatementHandle statementHandle, CommandBehavior behavior, Boolean needRowid, OciRowidDescriptor& rowidDescriptor, ArrayList& resultParameterOrdinals) at System.Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand.ExecuteNonQueryInternal(Boolean needRowid, OciRowidDescriptor& rowidDescriptor) at System.Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() at Default.Button1Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
I understand from this that the .net type is not the correct one, but I am not sure how to correct it. I could not find any proper example in any documentation that I came across. Most of the examples give information on how to read but not how to insert XML into Oracle table by calling Stored Procedure.
Can you please help me to solve this problem? I hope that you can help solve this.
Also, can you please give me an example of passing XML document XMLdocument to Oracle Stored procedure.
In both the cases, if you can provide the working code then it would be of great help.
Thanks,

Calling Bpel Process From a Jsp(Need a string output instead of XML object)

Hi
I am calling a BPEL process(Synchrononus) from a JSP page, Where Bpel process calls a java web service.The output from Bpel process is returned as an XML object. I need the output in a string format.Please let me know the steps to get the string output.
I also executed invokeCreditRatingService.jsp(from samples shipped with SOA Suite) that calls CreditRatingService bpel, but i was getting the following output where the rating value is printed as an XML object.
Output:-
BPELProcess CreditRatingService executed!
Credit Rating is oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement@9511c8
Please let me know, what changes i need to make to get the string output.I followed all the steps given in "orabpel-Tutorial7-InvokingBPELProcesses.PDF" to execute credit rating jsp.
We are using SOA Suite 10.1.3.1.0 version.Do I need to make any changes to the code, to make it work with this version.
Thanks
Vandana.

The call payload.get("payload") returns, as you have observed, an XMLElement. You can simply convert the XMLElement into an XML string by using a DOMSerializer implementation. The following code is very useful for this purpose:

Newbie needs help with passing variables or creating flash object based on parameters

Hello Community,
I'm an amateur developer of Ms Access databases. In one of my applications I want to visualize the options available when reaching a certain score.
What I'd like to get from this trial period, is a flash animation of a dartboard. Depending on an array of variables that provides the fill color (or reference thereof) the layers of the flash object will be dynamicly created, altered, or switched. The dartboard itself remains "static". I'm hoping to use 9 colors.
I can manipulate the array any way needed. I can provide XML coding to pass the array variables. I'm just too new and untrained to incorporate this in a Edge animation or Dreamweaver.
There is no need for interaction, once the object is created (ie no user feedback).
Can someone point me in the right direction?
thanks in advance,
Jay from Stockholm

Hi,
I see you're using System.Data.OracleClient (which has been deprecated by MS) rather than Oracle.DataAccess.Client, but this works for me with Oracle's ODP, maybe it will help.

Passing data from an XML object to an itemRenderer

I'm trying to color the background of a column in a datagrid and have found a sample file that illustrate the concept. However, the sample has data stored in an arrayCollection whereas mine is in an XML object. The problem is that the data in the sample file is apparently automatically passed to the itemRenderer (shown below: note the trace statement). My XML object does not appear to automatically pass data to the itemRenderer. So my questions are:
1. Is there a simple way to pass data stored in an XML object to an itemRenderer
or
2. Should I convert my XML to an arrayCollection? If so, what's the best way to do this-- I've tried the following, but without success:
<mx:Model id="xmldata" source="example3.xml"/>
<mx:ArrayCollection id="myAC" source="{ArrayUtil.toArray(xmldata.Example1)}" />
Here's what the xml looks like:
<TABLE>
   <EXAMPLE1>
      <difficulty> 0.5 </difficulty>
      <discrimination> 0.7 </discrimination>
      <item> 3 </item>
   </EXAMPLE1>
</TABLE>
Here's the itemRenderer:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Label xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
    
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        import flash.geom.Matrix;
        import flash.display.GradientType;
        import flash.display.Graphics;
        override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
            super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth,unscaledHeight);
            var m:Matrix = new Matrix();
            m.createGradientBox(unscaledWidth,unscaledHeight);
            var g:Graphics = graphics;
                        trace("data.col3="+data.col3)
            var colors:Array = (data.col3 < 2000 ? [0x0000CC,0x0000FF] : [0x00CC00,0x00FF00]);
            g.clear();
            g.beginGradientFill(GradientType.LINEAR, colors, [0.2,0.6], [0,255], m);
            // the rectangle is drawn a little high and a little tall to compensate for the gap
            // the DataGrid introduces between rows.
            g.drawRect(0, -2, unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight+4 );
            g.endFill();
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
</mx:Label>

This sample code should answer your question of how to bring data into the renderer automatically. It comes in via the DataGrid dataProvider and then you refer to it in the renderer as data.XYZ, where XYZ is the field in the XML with the data. See FB 3 help sys on e4x syntax.

How to create a xml object dynamically

Hi all,
In my current project the database is returning the query result in xml string format(using oracle's DBMS-XML package).
Now I need to use this xml string and build a xml object and transform it into XSLT and then in a servlet and then pass it to the browser and display it using xsl stylesheets.
Can some one help me in building an xml object using a string( the xml string is in the xml format i.e in <..> format) and then transform it into xslt in the servlet and send across to the browser.
Any hands on code or references to the code will be most favourable.
any help regarding this issue will be most appreciated. Pls do reply as early as possible as I do not have much time to implement this.
Thanking in advance for your kind help.
Srinivas.

What's an "xml object"?
If you want to transform it using XSLT (transforming it "into" XSLT doesn't make much sense), you can transform direct from the string. Like this:try {
TransformerFactory xformFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Source xsl = new StreamSource("your.xsl");
Transformer stylesheet = xformFactory.newTransformer(xsl);
Source request = new StreamSource(new StringReader(yourXMLString));
Result response = new StreamResult(out);
stylesheet.transform(request, response);
catch (TransformerException e) {
System.err.println(e);
}By the way, if you haven't seen this code before then I suggest you go and read ERH's book about XML with Java:
http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xmljava/chapters/index.html

XSLT - How to pass a Java object to the xslt file ?

Hi ,
I need help in , How to pass a java object to xslt file.
I am using javax.xml.transform.Tranformer class to for the xsl tranformation. I need to pass a java object eg
Class Employee {
private String name;

return this.name;
public String getEmpId() {
return this.empId;
public String setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
public String setEmpId(int empId){
this.empId = empId;
How can i access this complete object in the xsl file ? is there any way i can pass custom objects to xsl using Transformer class ?

This is elementary. Did you ask google ? http://www.google.com/search?q=calling+java+from+xsl

Update passed in XML doc with pl/sql xmldom

Hi,
I have an xml document that is passed in through a stored procedure as CLOB. I'm trying to use the XMLParser and XMLDOM to add an additional node
The XML looks something like the following
<rowset>
<row>
<firstname>john</firstname>
</row>
<row>
<firstname>jane</firstname>
</row>
</rowset>
I need to loop through each of <mynames> nodes and then add another node <lastame> so it looks like the following
<rowset>
<row>
<firstname>john</firstname>
<lastame>smith</lastame>
</row>
<row>
<firstname>jane</firstname>
<lastame>smith</lastame>
</row>
</rowset>
I have the following code
parseClob XMLPARSER.Parser;
newNames XMLDOM.DOMDocument;
tempNode XMLDOM.DOMNode;
mye xmldom.domelement;
     item_text xmldom.DOMText;
numofrows number;
     nodeList xmldom.DOMNodeList;
     newnode xmldom.domnode;
parseClob := xmlparser.newParser;
XMLPARSER.parseClob(parseClob,names);
newNames := XMLPARSER.getDocument(parseClob);
XMLPARSER.freeParser(parseClob);
nodeList := xslprocessor.selectNodes(xmldom.makeNode(newNames), '//rowset/row');
numOfRows := xmldom.getlength(nodeList)-1;
for i in 0..numOfRows LOOP
newnode := xmldom.item(nodeList, i);
          --create the new node
mye := xmldom.createElement(newName, 'lastname');
--add it to the new node
tempNode := xmldom.appendChild(newnode, xmldom.makeNode(mye));
--update the text in the lastname
item_text := xmldom.createTextNode(newNames, 'smith');
tempNode := xmldom.appendChild(tempNode, xmldom.makeNode(item_text));
end loop;
what happens is that when i write out the newnode xml out to a buffer i see the <lastname> tag
but when i write out the newNames xml out to a buffer after the loop is finished the <lastname> tag is
missing. like it didn't update the newNames xml
I've seen lots of example on how to create an XML document with the DOM from scratch but nothing about updating
an passed in xml document. any help would be appreciated

How to pass a xml CDATA in string element when OSB calling a webservice?

How to pass a xml CDATA in string element when OSB calling a webservice?
I have a business service (biz) that route to operation of a webservice.
A example of request to this webservice legacy:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:eg="example">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<ex:execute>
<ex:arg><![CDATA[<searchCustomerByDocumentNumber>
<documentNumber>12345678909</documentNumber>
</searchCustomerByDocumentNumber>]]></ex:arg>
</ex:execute>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
the type of ex:arg is a string.
How to pass this CDATA structure to webservice in OSB?

Steps to solve this problem:
1. Create a XML Schema. E.g.:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
     elementFormDefault="unqualified">
     <xs:complexType name="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber">
          <xs:sequence>
               <xs:element name="documentNumber" minOccurs="0">
                    <xs:annotation>
                         <xs:documentation>
                         </xs:documentation>
                    </xs:annotation>
                    <xs:simpleType>
                         <xs:restriction base="xs:string" />
                    </xs:simpleType>
               </xs:element>
     </xs:sequence>
     </xs:complexType>
     <xs:element name="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber" type="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber"></xs:element>
</xs:schema>
With this XSD, the XML can be generate:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<searchCustomerByDocumentNumber xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber.xsd">
<documentNumber>documentNumber</documentNumber>
</searchCustomerByDocumentNumber>
2. Create a XQuery to create a searchCustomerByDocumentNumber ComplexType. E.g.:
(:: pragma bea:global-element-return element="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber" location="searchCustomerByDocumentNumber.xsd" ::)
declare namespace xf = "http://tempuri.org/NovoSia/CreateSearchCustomerByDocumentNumber/";
declare function xf:CreateSearchCustomerByDocumentNumber($documentNumber as xs:string)
as element(searchCustomerByDocumentNumber) {
<searchCustomerByDocumentNumber>
<documentNumber>{ $documentNumber }</documentNumber>
</searchCustomerByDocumentNumber>
declare variable $documentNumber as xs:string external;
xf:CreateSearchCustomerByDocumentNumber($documentNumber)
3. In your stage in pipeline proxy add a assign calling the XQuery created passing the document number of your payload.
Assign to a variable (e.g.: called searchCustomerByDocumentNumberRequest)
4. Create another XQuery Transformation (XQ) to create a request to the webservice legacy. E.g.:
<ex:arg>{fn-bea:serialize($searchCustomerByDocumentNumberRequest)}</ex:arg>
For more information about xquery serialize function:
41.2.6 fn-bea:serialize()
You can use the fn-bea:serialize() function if you need to represent an XML document as a string instead of as an XML element. For example, you may want to exchange an XML document through an EJB interface and the EJB method takes String as argument. The function has the following signature:
fn-bea:serialize($input as item()) as xs:string
Source: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e15867/xquery.htm

Passing a Flex object to CFC

I have no problem passing a query object to my Flex app and
use it to populate a datagrid (arraycollection).... however, I want
to use this same data to update the database when the user clicks
on save, and instead of looping through each row (calling my
remoteobject each time) is there a way I can format this
information into an array, array collection or some other form of
flex object and pass ti back to another cfc function to do the
update?????
I've read elsewhere that its possible to do with a
remoteobject, however, my attempts were futile and I cannot find an
example anywhere.
I cant find a solution anywhere so and help would be
appreciated.

Here is a simple example I just wrote real quick. This is how
I normally go about passing something an array of items to
Coldfusion. Hope this helps.

XML Object Comparison

When comparing two XML objects, it appears that flexunit is reporting their equality when the values of XML elements are not equal.
Here's a valid example:
var xmlA:XML =
<root>
     <element1>text1</element1>
     <element2>text2</element2>
</root>;
var xmlB:XML =
<root>
     <element2>text2</element2>
     <element1>text1</element1>
</root>;
Assert.assertTrue(ObjectUtil.compare(xmlA, xmlB) == 0)   => true
This is correct: element order does not matter and $xmlA/root/element1 == $xmlB/root/element1
Here's an invalid example:
var xmlA:XML =
<root>
     <element1>text1</element1>
     <element2>text2</element2>
</root>;
var xmlB:XML =
<root>
     <element1>text3</element1>
     <element2>text2</element2>
</root>;
Assert.assertTrue(ObjectUtil.compare(xmlA, xmlB) == 0)   => true
This is NOT correct: $xmlA/root/element1 != $xmlB/root/element1
Can somebody confirm this? If confirmed, is this by design or am I missing something?
Thanks!

As you've discovered, the problem is with your comparison. XML in Actionscript are really objects under the hood.
Lets say you had this:
var xml1:Object = {element1: "text1", element2: "text2"};
var xml2:Object = {element2: "text2", element1: "text1"};
Here, just like you want to do the XML comparison, the order of the properties doesn't matter, but you want to check the values of a particular property.
So xml1 == xml2 fails not because the element values are out of order, but because the comparison occurs on the objects themselves, and not the properties in the objects.
In order for my object comparison to succeed, I would probably need to create a hash of properties from both objects and verify that the keys are the same and the values of matching keys are the same if I don't want to use any of the built in utilities for comparing objects.
So, in your example, the comparison you want to use is E4X, doing something like this:
Assert.assertTrue( xmlA.element1.text()[0], xmlB.element1.text()[0]);
I'm not sure how to write an E4X expression traversing two nodes at once, but maybe that will give you some ideas to go on?

URGENT : Pass non-serializable objects over sockets

I am working with a non-serializable class.I can't change it to serializable(since it's an API class).I can't create a subclass either as I need to pass the same exact Object .I have tried wrapping it in a serializable class (as transient )but then the particular object that I need is not serialized.Is there a way to pass non-serializable objects over sockets?.Some other way of doing this?. Should i use RMI or Externalize?. Any help would be appreciated.

{snip}
Like this:
public class SerializableLibraryClass extends
LibraryClass implements Serializable {
}Then you've got a class that is exactly the same as
LibraryClass, but is now serializable.Not quite. The base class still isn't Serializable. Take, for example, the following code:
public class A
public int a1;
public class B extends A implements Serializable
public int b1;
B beforeSend = new B();
beforeSend.a1 = 1;
beforeSend.b1 = 2;
objectOutputStream.writeObject(b);
B afterSend = (B)(objectInputStream.readObject());Both beforeSend and afterSend have fields a1 and b1. For beforeSend, a1 = 1 and b1 = 2. For afterSend, b1 = 2 but a1 = 0. The superclass wasn't Serializable; therefore, its members weren't Serialized and, when the object was created on the other side of the stream, a1 was left at its initial value.
In short, you can't just Serialize the subclass. That Serialization won't apply to its superclasses.

Passing a cfc object to another cfc

Hi,
I am relatively new to using cfc, so I am not sure if what I am asking for is possible:
Can I pass a CFC object (that has been instantiated) to another CFC? For example, I instantiate a CFC object
<cfobject component="CFC1" name="myCFC1Obj">
<cfset myCFC1Obj.init('abc')>
Now I want to instantiate a second CFC object
<cfobject component="CFC2" name="myCFC2Obj">
I would like the functions in myCFC2Obj to have access to myCFC1Obj variables
and functions, either by passing myCFC1Obj as a function argument or by
using myCFC1Obj to instantiate myCFC2Obj.
I have read http://forums.adobe.com/message/1894989#1894989, but this
deals with instantiating CFC1 object inside CFC2. What I want is to instantiate
CFC1 object outside and pass it to CFC2.
Would I be able to do this?
Thank you.

An CFC instance (object) is just a variable like any other variable. So there's no trick to passing it into a function as an argument, you just do it as you would with any other value.
In your <cfargument> tag, if you're wont to specify the TYPE attribute, it needs to be the CFC name or path (I use path). That's the only real special consideration.

Pass a COM object across processes

Hi,
I need to pass a COM object from process A to B. I didn't find a good code example for IMoniker. So I am trying to test a simpler solution. Please refer to the following snippet of code. There is a problem. When the execution
reaches GetActiveObject in B, the system hangs. "HRESULT h" in several places returns S_OK. Does anybody have a clue? Please help me out. Thanks for your help in advance.
// the definition of the COM object
EXTERN_C const IID IID_IUniverse;
#if defined(__cplusplus) && !defined(CINTERFACE)
    MIDL_INTERFACE("91CAF3F6-BD4D-4DDC-9C35-59F5DB20D570")
    IUniverse : public IDispatch
    public:
// PROCESS A:
HRESULT h = RegisterActiveObject (cwApp, IID_IUniverse, ACTIVEOBJECT_STRONG , &dwRegister);
// PROCESS B:
HRESULT h = CoInitialize(NULL);
IUniverse *p = NULL;
HRESULT h = GetActiveObject(IID_IUniverse, NULL, (IUnknown**)&p);
if (p)
CComPtr<IUniverse> cwApp(p);

Unlikely. If, as I suspect, the problem is that the server thread blocks, then the client won't be able to obtain the interface pointer from it by any means. Any IPC mechanism you might want to use kind of assumes that both parties remain responsive.
WaitForSingleObject() is the opposite of "responsive".
The third party (3rd pty) provides a COM interface. I write a COM server A
In-process (a DLL) or out-of-process (an EXE)? From your description, I would assume in-proc.
that has an implementation for this interface. I believe the 3rd pty must have called CoInitialize(NULL) before it instantiates object A.
It must have, yes. This is only significant if A is an in-proc server.
The 3rd pty passes a COM object of IUniverse to A. I can call IUniverse's methods in A without any problem. The need here is to transfer the IUniverse object to another process B so that B can call IUniverse's methods. The problem
is that B hangs.
My guess is, B hangs because A hangs. In one of your responses, you suggest that you are calling WaitForSingleObject (waiting on process B's handle, I presume). In so doing, you have created a deadlock. B is trying to communicate with A to retrieve the
interface pointer, but A is waiting for B to exit.
After A registers IUniverse pointer (whether in ROT or as active object), it should return to the caller. Said caller likely spins a message pump - but by blocking and not returning, you don't allow it to run.
The thread where A sits is created in the 3rd pty. If I understand you correctly, the 3rd pty must "retrieve and dispatch window messages in a timely manner". I think it does because it calls A when a window button is clicked.
3rd pty would, if only A would let it. By sitting in the message handler, A prevents the caller from retrieving messages in a timely manner.
But I don't know whether I should use Class, File or Item IMoniker.
Item moniker is the easiest to use by far. It just wraps a piece of text. You create one with CreateItemMoniker: pass L"!" (by convention) in the first parameter, and arbitrary string in the second. Both parties (one that registers in ROT, and
one that picks up) should agree on and use the same string, of course.
