HelperNotHelper

It's important to figure out the difference beween class implementing component when you use or not an helper.

Class without Helper

Here is the C++ code

class MyCounterImpl : public XCountable, public XServiceInfo
{
	sal_Int32 m_nRefCount;
	sal_Int32 m_nCount;	
public:
	MyCounterImpl( const Reference< XMultiServiceFactory > & xServiceManager );
	~MyCounterImpl();

// XInterface implementation
	virtual void SAL_CALL acquire() throw ();
	virtual void SAL_CALL release() throw ();
	virtual Any SAL_CALL queryInterface( const Type & rType ) throw (RuntimeException);
		
// XServiceInfo	implementation
    virtual OUString SAL_CALL getImplementationName(  ) throw(RuntimeException);
    virtual sal_Bool SAL_CALL supportsService( const OUString& ServiceName ) throw(RuntimeException);
    virtual Sequence< OUString > SAL_CALL getSupportedServiceNames(  ) throw(RuntimeException);
    static Sequence< OUString > SAL_CALL getSupportedServiceNames_Static(  );

// XCountable implementation
	virtual sal_Int32 SAL_CALL getCount() throw (RuntimeException);
	virtual void SAL_CALL setCount( sal_Int32 nCount ) throw (RuntimeException);
	virtual sal_Int32 SAL_CALL increment() throw (RuntimeException);
	virtual sal_Int32 SAL_CALL decrement() throw (RuntimeException);
};

Class with an Helper

Here is the code

class MyCounterImpl : public ::cppu::WeakImplHelper2< XCountable, XServiceInfo >
{
	// to obtain other services if needed
	Reference< XMultiServiceFactory > m_xServiceManager;
	sal_Int32 m_nRefCount;
	sal_Int32 m_nCount;
	
public:
// XServiceInfo	implementation
    virtual OUString SAL_CALL getImplementationName(  ) throw(RuntimeException);
    virtual sal_Bool SAL_CALL supportsService( const OUString& ServiceName ) throw(RuntimeException);
    virtual Sequence< OUString > SAL_CALL getSupportedServiceNames(  ) throw(RuntimeException);
    static Sequence< OUString > SAL_CALL getSupportedServiceNames_Static(  );

// XCountable implementation
	virtual sal_Int32 SAL_CALL getCount() throw (RuntimeException);
	virtual void SAL_CALL setCount( sal_Int32 nCount ) throw (RuntimeException);
	virtual sal_Int32 SAL_CALL increment() throw (RuntimeException);
	virtual sal_Int32 SAL_CALL decrement() throw (RuntimeException);
};
