them and it cannot be guaranteed that they are available on a given +system. Applications using the URE may need those files too, so they are made +available as non-private files of the URE installation. However, in an ideal +world, those files would not need to be included in the URE installation. + +Files marked as [private] are private to the URE installation. To avoid +stability issues, applications that use the URE should not access the +functionality of these files. + +Files marked as [GAC] are installed in the Global Assembly Cache on Windows. The +file path reflects the path as seen in the Explorer with the Assembly +Cache Viewer Tool (Shfusion.dll) installed. The actual paths are different. + + +Public Files in a URE Installation +---------------------------------- + +A URE installation contains the following public files: + +- uno is the executable file that runs UNO components. For more details, see +the SDK Developer's Guide. + +- regview is a tool that works with old-format binary registries that contain +UNO type or UNO service information. For more details, see the SDK Developer's +Guide. + +- javaldx is a helper program on Linux, Solaris, and *BSD that +enables Java executables to use a Java VM, such as OpenJDK or the Sun JDK/JRE. +Executables such as uno run this helper automatically. + +- cppu, cppuhelper, purpenvhelper, sal, and salhelper are the public C++ UNO +runtime dynamic libraries that client code can call. For details on the +functionality that these libraries offer, see the "C++ Reference" section of the +SDK HTML documentation. The corresponding C++ header files are not in the URE, +but rather in the SDK. + +- libreoffice.jar and unoloader.jar are the public Java UNO runtime +Java[tm] Archives (JARs) that client code can call. +juh.jar, jurt.jar, ridl.jar, unoil.jar are still provided for backwards compatibility, +but are basically empty and have been merged into libreoffice.jar. +For details on the functionality that these files offer, see the +"Java UNO Runtime Reference" section of the SDK HTML documentation. + +- types.rdb and services.rdb are preconfigured UNO type and service registries. +For more details, see the "Deploying a URE" section of this README. + + +Deploying a URE +--------------- + +By default, the URE is installed in /opt/libreoffice/ure on Linux, +Solaris, and *BSD, and in Program Files\URE on Windows. If you +want, you can override this location when you install the URE, for example, with +rpm --relocate on Linux. The URE is designed so that multiple instances of the +URE can coexist on a single system in different locations. + +On Windows, the path to the installed URE is stored in the registry under the +path "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\LibreOffice\URE" and key "Path". + + +UNO Deployment Variables +------------------------ + +The URE installation is preconfigured with several UNO types and UNO services. +The available types and services are listed in the types.rdb and services.rdb +files respectively. The location of these files is stored by two UNO deployment +variables, namely UNO_TYPES and UNO_SERVICES. These variables are set up by a +unorc or uno.ini that is private to the URE installation. This private file +also contains the private deployment variables URE_INTERNAL_LIB_DIR, +URE_INTERNAL_JAVA_DIR, and URE_INTERNAL_JAVA_CLASSPATH, which are required by +the URE. + +The UNO_TYPES and UNO_SERVICES variables automatically search the following +locations for types.rdb and services.rdb files: + +Linux, Solaris, and *BSD: + +- <URE installation>/share/misc/ types.rdb and services.rdb, respectively +- any URLs listed in the public deployment variables URE_MORE_TYPES and + URE_MORE_SERVICES, respectively + +Windows: + +- <URE installation>\misc\ types.rdb and services.rdb, respectively +- any URLs listed in the public deployment variables URE_MORE_TYPES and + URE_MORE_SERVICES, respectively + +NOTE: The URE on Windows does not support a system-wide deployment of additional +types.rdb and services.rdb files. That is, you cannot store additional +types.rdb and services.rdb files in a Documents and Settings\All +Users\Application Data\URE directory. + +URE_MORE_TYPES and URE_MORE_SERVICES each contain zero or more space-separated +URI descriptors. A URI descriptor is either a URI (denoting an individual file) +or a URI embedded in "<" and ">*" (denoting all the files contained non- +recursively within the directory denoted by the given URI). + +The Java UNO environment needs type information in the form of Java class files +instead of rdb files. Additional types are searched for in any URLs listed in +the public deployment variable URE_MORE_JAVA_TYPES. + +For details on how to override the UNO deployment variables, see the SDK +Developer's Guide or go to http://udk.openoffice.org/common/man/concept/ +micro_deployment.html. + + +URE Java Framework +------------------ + +When a URE executable, such as uno, starts a Java VM, the URE Java Framework +searches for a suitable JDK/JRE installation. For more information on the URE +Java Framework, go to http://udk.openoffice.org/common/man/spec/ +javavendorextension.sxw. The private javavendors.xml file in a URE installation +provides preconfigured support for various JDK/JRE versions. The private +jvmfwk3rc or jvmfwk3.ini file specifies the location of a suitable JDK/JRE +installation. When an executable tries to start a Java VM, the URE searches the +relevant Java settings file for information on a suitable JDK/JRE version. + +NOTE: On any platform, you can delete the javasettings_${_OS}_${_ARCH}.xml file +if the file contains problematic stale data. + +By default, the URE does not search for a Java settings file, but instead +searches for a suitable JDK/JRE installation whenever necessary. You can +override this by setting the URE_OVERRIDE_JAVA_JFW_SHARED_DATA and +URE_OVERRIDE_JAVA_JFW_USER_DATA deployment variables. If +URE_OVERRIDE_JAVA_JFW_USER_DATA is set, the URE will update the relevant +information in +${URE_OVERRIDE_JAVA_JFW_USER_DATA}/javasettings_${_OS}_${_ARCH}.xml when it +searches for a suitable JDK/JRE installation. You can also use the +UNO_JAVA_JFW_JREHOME deployment variable to specify the location of a JDK/JRE +installation. For more information on this variable, see +http://udk.openoffice.org/common/man/spec/javavendorextension.sxw. + +The URE allows clients to extend the content of UNO_JAVA_JFW_CLASSPATH_URLS (see +http://udk.openoffice.org/common/man/spec/javavendorextension.sxw): The content +of the public deployment variable URE_MORE_JAVA_CLASSPATH_URLS, if set, is +added to the end of the URE's UNO_JAVA_JFW_CLASSPATH_URLS list. + +You might experience problems in an SDK environment that uses different JDK/JRE +versions for the SDK and the URE. This problem arises when the OO_SDK_JAVA_HOME +SDK environment variable specifies a different Java VM than the Java VM that is +used in the URE Java Framework. See the "Installation Guide" section of the SDK +HTML documentation to find out how to set the OO_SDK_JAVA_HOME environment +variable. + + +C++ and Java UNO Components +--------------------------- + +C++ UNO components run from within the uno executable can depend on an +environment in which the public C++ UNO runtime dynamic libraries (cppu, +cppuhelper, purpenvhelper, sal, salhelper) and the external dynamic libraries +(libxml2 etc.) are already available (that is, on Linux, Solaris, and +*BSD, a component dynamic library need not make sure that the UNO +runtime dynamic libraries it needs can be found on its RPATH). + +Similarly, Java UNO components can depend on an environment in which the public +Java UNO runtime JARs are already available (that is, a component JAR need not +list in its manifest Class-Path the UNO runtime JARs it needs). + +If a Java UNO component requires additional UNO types, use the UNO-Type-Path +manifest entry to specify the location of the UNO types. The UNO-Type-Path is +similar to the Class-Path manifest entry and can contain URLs of JARs and +directories that contain the Java classes that represent additional UNO types. +The UnoClassLoader evaluates the UNO-Type-Path manifest entry to ensure that the +additional UNO types are available to the Java UNO environment. + +The UNO-Type-Path can have the following entries: + +- UNO-Type-Path: +Current JAR does not contain UNO types. + +- UNO-Type-Path: <> +Current JAR contains UNO types. + +- UNO-Type-Path: any/other/jar.jar yet/another/jar.jar +Current JAR brings other JARs that contain UNO types. + +- UNO-Type-Path: any/other/jar.jar <> yet/another/jar.jar +Current JAR and other JARs that the current JARs uses contain UNO types. + +NOTE: If you do not include the UNO-Type-Path manifest entry, the URE assumes +that the current JAR contains UNO types. + +If a Java application requires the Java UNO environment, the UnoClassLoader must +be set up to load the relevant Java classes. For example, Runner.java in the +uretest bundle is packed as runner.jar, which the makefiles use to launch the +javaclient.jar application. For more information, see +com.sun.star.lib.unoloader.UnoClassLoader and +com.sun.star.lib.unoloader.UnoLoader in the "Java UNO Runtime Reference" section +of the SDK HTML documentation. |
