Detailed Description

The REComSession singleton class provides an API to identify (resolution), instantiate, and destroy interface class implementations requested by ECOM clients. It manages the session connection to the ECOM Server itself so that typically only one connection is made to the ECOM Server per thread. It provides an un-initialise function where it releases memory and handles of unused plug-ins, see the FinalClose() function. It also ensures that all necessary clean-up is performed in the event of a Leave by any of the ListImplementationsL() or CreateImplementationL() methods.

Note: Although a public default constructor is provided in this class it is strongly recommended this object is never created by users of this API on the stack or heap by value. To access the non-static methods of this API use the static OpenL() method to obtain a pointer or a reference to the single reference counted session in use. Close() must be called when finished with.

Special care must be taken when using aInstanceKey. It is a 32-bit instance key that is returned from a call to one of the CreateImplementationL() methods. This instance key must only be used with DestroyedImplementation() to identify the implementation instance for destruction, or GetImplementationUidL() to retrieve the Implementation Uid of the instance it refers to. No meaning must be attached to this instance key by ECOM clients and it must not be used for any other purpose.

DestroyedImplementation ( TUid )

IMPORT_C voidDestroyedImplementation(TUidaInstanceKey)[static]
Signals the destruction of an interface implementation to ECOM. LoadManager is responsible for destroying the implementation
Post-condition
The destruction of the Interface Implementation referred to by aInstanceKey
Parameters
aInstanceKeyA 32-bit instance key that is returned from a call to one of the CreateImplementationL() methods. This instance key identifies the implementation for destruction. No meaning should be attached to this instance key by ECOM clients and it should not be used for any other purpose.

FinalClose ( )

IMPORT_C voidFinalClose()[static]

This method is used in processes that have utilised the ECOM framework, it does nothing if the ECOM framework has not been initialised. Its main purpose is to release memory and close handles held on unused plug-in implementations and their associated DLLs. If is found (through reference counting) that the ECOM framework is no longer in use in the calling thread the session to the ECOM's server is also closed.

This method is called by direct users of the ECOM framework wherever possible (e.g. library, server or test code). It is safe to call it at any time outside of plug-in code as the user's scenario dictates. This maybe during a test case or just before process termination.

Note: It must never be called from within a plug-in implementations class destructor, especially following a DestroyImplementation() as there is a risk that the plug-in's supporting DLL may immediately be unloaded by the Kernel due to the closure of RLibrary handles. It can result in a KERN-EXEC if the destructor call stack is still inside the DLL that is unloaded.

Note: Processes that utilise the ECOM framework that do not use this call are at risk of a UHEAP_MARKEND generated panic in debug builds.

GetExtendedInterfaceL ( const TUid &, const TUid & )

IMPORT_C TAny *GetExtendedInterfaceL(const TUid &aInstanceKey,
const TUid &aExtendedInterfaceUid
)[static]
Returns the requested interface, NULL if it does not exist
Parameters
aInstanceKeyA 32-bit implementation instance key that is returned from a call to one of the CreateImplementationL() methods. ECOM uses this implementation instance key when it is passed as an argument to the DestroyedImplementation() method to identify an implementation for destruction. No meaning should be attached to this implementation instance key by ECOM clients and it should not be used for any other purpose.
aExtendedInterfaceUidIdentifies an interface to fetch from the plug-in instance.
Return Value
TAny* A pointer to the extended interface implementation if the implementation identified by aInstanceKey supports it, or NULL if the implementation does not support the extended interface.
Leave Codes
KErrNotFoundWhen the supplied 32-bit implementation instance key is not recognised by ECom.
KErrArgumentWhen a null implementation instance key is passed as an argument to ECom.

ManuallyReleaseExtendedInterfaceL ( const TUid &, const TUid & )

IMPORT_C voidManuallyReleaseExtendedInterfaceL(const TUid &aInstanceKey,
const TUid &aExtendedInterfaceUid
)[static]
Releases the extended interface associated with the supplied instance. Does nothing if the interface does not exist. This interface is optional, normally the interfaces are cleaned up automatically. This can be used if it is necessary to clean up an extended interface before the automatic cleanup occurs when the instance is destroyed.
Parameters
aInstanceKeyA 32-bit implementation instance key that is returned from a call to one of the CreateImplementationL() methods. ECOM uses this implementation instance key when it is passed as an argument to the DestroyedImplementation() method to identify an implementation for destruction. No meaning should be attached to this implementation instance key by ECOM clients and it should not be used for any other purpose.
aExtendedInterfaceUidIdentifies an extended interface to release.
Leave Codes
KErrNotFoundWhen the supplied 32-bit implementation instance key is not recognised by ECom.

NotifyOnChange ( TRequestStatus & )

IMPORT_C voidNotifyOnChange(TRequestStatus &aStatus)

Registers for notification messages when the underlying ECOM registration data changes. The client must not call this api again until their request is Completed as this could result in a 'stray signal'. This api should be placed first in the RunL of an Active Object otherwise changes could be lost. RunError should be implemented to cater for any Leaves. For example, it could retry after a second if the ECom server is busy rebuilding its indexes. CancelNotifyOnChange should be called to cancel this request and should NOT be part of the RunL.

Pre-condition
REComSession must have been opened.
Post-condition
The caller is registered for receipt of notifications if the server's registry data changes.
Parameters
aStatusA request status object to complete for notification signalling.

OpenL ( )

IMPORT_C REComSession &OpenL()[static]

This method returns a reference to the singleton client/server session object maintained by the ECOM client library, referenced counted. If it does not exist it is initialised and then returned. Clients should store the handle returned by refernce or by pointer. Storage by value is highly discouraged.

It is only necessary to use the Open()/Close() API directly if you need access to the notification methods. Access to the static API does not require these to be used. Please remeber each call to Open() must have an equivalent Close().

Post-condition
REComSession is connected and ready to issue ECOM requests.
Return Value
Reference to the open singleton session
