How to access custom xpcom component from xulrunner based application.
JanakiRam
I am developing a standalone xul application on Windows as well as
on Mac.I have also created xpcom component for my application
feature.This XPCOM component is being registered successfully on
Firefox( both on Mac & Windows).Now i've .dylib/.dll & .xpt files of
xpcom component.
Now i am trying to aceess the same from a XUL Application ( using
XULRunner 1.8.0.4 ).So i have created a "components" folder in
application folder ( under MyApp.app/Contents/Resources on Mac & MyApp
Folder in Windows) , and placed my .dylib/.dll & .xpt files in that,
and i removed my compreg.dat,xpti.dat files from the my applications
profile directory.
Now when i tried to instantiate my xpcom component , my XUL
Application on Mac is not detecting my xpcom component but the
application on windows detects the same.I'have checked my application
structure with that of Songbird , it looks similar.Now i don't have any
clue on this to figure out.Please let me know if i miss any thing.
Is this a bug of XULRunner in Mac ?.Since it works fine on Windows.Do i
need to follow any other approach for this problem.
My Application on Mac Structure looks like this.
TestApp.app
