API/Samples/Java/Office/PropertySet
PropertySet Example
This example shows how to write a component and set it's properties. Once it is deployed, we'll be able to use a document with OO.o Basic macro to test the component and get its property informations.
First of all, let's look at the example test document “/API/Samples/Java/PropertySet/test/”. You can download from here File:PropertySetTest.odt. The example button triggers a macro which creates the “PropTest” example service and displays the supported interfaces and properties. You can take a closer look to the Basic macro by editing the macro:
Select Tools -> Macros -> Organize Macros -> StarOffice Basic, navigate into the document section of “PropertySetTest.odt”, select the Standard -> “PropTest” module, select the “PropetySetTest” macro and press the edit button.
Here is the OpenOffice.org Basic code of the macro:
[vb,N]
REM ***** BASIC ***** Sub PropertySetTest
dim propTest as object propTest = createUnoService("org.openoffice.sdk.example.propertyset.PropTestService") msgbox propTest.dbg_supportedinterfaces msgbox propTest.dbg_properties
End Sub
CreateUnoService() method initializes the component / creates the service using service name “org.openoffice.sdk.example.propertyset.PropTestService”, the name which should be exactly the same as the service name property when component is written.
[java, N]
private static final String[] m_serviceNames = { "org.openoffice.sdk.example.propertyset.PropTestService" };
If you would like to know more detail about above code, please read OO.o Basic chapters in developers' guide or visit:

Create component project
The process to create the PropertySet project could refers to MinimalComponent project. Some important settings are addressed here. If you don't familiar with creating a component, you can take a look at MinimalComponent example as starting point.
Use OpenOffice.org Component wizards
Set the project details
Project Name: PropertySet
Class Name: PropTest
Package: org.openoffice.sdk.example.propertyset
Define New Data Type
Service Property Name: PropertyTestService (it's default value)
Interface: com.sun.star.lang.XServiceInfo
Edit the Source file: PropTest.java
Change the Class definitions to:
public final class PropTest extends PropertySet implements com.sun.star.lang.XServiceInfo
the inherited relation between PropertySet and WeakBase is:
java.lang.Object └ com.sun.star.lib.uno.helper.WeakBase └ com.sun.star.lib.uno.helper.ComponentBase └ com.sun.star.lib.uno.helper.PropertySet
Import necessary libraries:
import com.sun.star.lib.uno.helper.PropertySet;
import com.sun.star.beans.PropertyAttribute;
import com.sun.star.lang.XTypeProvider;
import com.sun.star.uno.Any;
import com.sun.star.uno.Type;
Add following members to the class as component properties
[java,N]
public boolean boolA;
public char charA;
public byte byteA;
public short shortA;
public int intA;
public long longA;
public float floatA;
public double doubleA;
public String stringA; // MAYBEVOID
public Object objectA; // MAYBEVOID
public Any anyA; // MAYBEVOID
public Type typeA;// MAYBEVOID
public XInterface xinterfaceA;// MAYBEVOID

public String[] arStringA; // MAYBEVOID
public Object[] arObjectA; // MAYBEVOID
public Any[] arAnyA; // MAYBEVOID

public boolean[][] ar2BoolA; // MAYBEVOID
public Boolean boolClassA; // MAYBEVOID
public Character charClassA; // MAYBEVOID
public Byte byteClassA; // MAYBEVOID
public Short shortClassA; // MAYBEVOID
public Integer intClassA; // MAYBEVOID
public Long longClassA; // MAYBEVOID
public Float floatClassA; // MAYBEVOID
public Double doubleClassA; // MAYBEVOID
// readonly public int roIntA= 100; public Integer roIntClassA= new Integer(100); public Object roObjectA= new Integer(101); public Any roAnyA= new Any( new Type(int.class), new Integer(102));
// BOUND & CONSTRAINED public boolean bcBoolA; public Boolean bcBoolClassA; // MAYBEVOID public Object bcObjectA; // MAYBEVOID public Any bcAnyA; // MAYBEVOID
// MAYBEVOID public Integer mvIntA; public Object mvObjectA; public Any mvAnyA; public XInterface mvXinterfaceA;
In the constructor “PropTest( XComponentContext context )”, initialize those properties using registerProperty() method, the method registers a property with this class. It is presumed that the name of property is equal to the name of the member variable that holds the property value.
