Adam Perry-Pelletier2004/05/24 Reworked jSegue so that COM objects are generated as interfaces that contain a Jni implementation embedded in the interface on the java side. This has the effect of allowing java objects to inherit from multiple COM interfaces. The change ripples thoughout the system on both the java and C++ side. tlb2java now properly translates tlbs and generates the support of the respective interfaces inner Jni implementation.

Robert Hastings2004/06/03 Fix warning in generated code.
Adam Perry-Pelletier2004/06/04 Through the java class COM, client code can now query how many C++ instance of GenericSink have been created. This is mostly for debugging in JUnit tests, but was essential for finding a leak that would have been troubling in runtime system.
Adam Perry-Pelletier2004/06/04 The co_class can now report how many listeners are attached to it though its own add<>Listener methods. This may differ from the total count of GenericSinks added on the native side.
Robert Hastings2004/06/05 fixed 'B'/jbyte/VT_I1/CHAR
Adam Perry-Pelletier2004/06/07 Provided counting for event interfaces so if none are encountered, the generation will not provide any registration declarations.

Robert Hastings2004/06/07 VARIANT ref support.
Robert Hastings2004/06/07 VARIANT ref test.

Robert Hastings2004/06/07 Better coverage of all jni_traits with compile time verification that the specializations are complete.

Removed primitive_holder, jarray_holder, jni_env::attach_holder, and jni_jni_env::release_holder (use primitive_array_critical or java_array<> instead).

Reworked JArray<> as java_array<>. Operator new is supported for java_array<> just like for h-gen classes.

Cleaned up set_array_element / get_array_element to use new jni_{primitive|object}_array_facet. The specializations worked fine under VC7 but VC6 was giving ambiguous call errors.

Removed jni_env::new_primitive_array and jni_env::new_object_array. Added new_array to replaces these.
Robert Hastings2004/06/08 VC6 had a bug when I mixed switch statements and template functions. Workaround was create a lookup array.

Robert Hastings2004/06/11 Swapped index/compress to be consistent with other projects
Robert Hastings2004/06/11 Added support for long, and double types.
Robert Hastings2004/06/11 Fleshed out it little more to handled VARIANT. In this case we want to access the low-level structure via a java type with the same size. But, we need to return a larger java type to match tlb2java.
Robert Hastings2004/06/11 Workaround differences between ATL in VC6 and VC7.
A null BSTR is returned as null.
Adam Perry-Pelletier2004/06/11 Wrote tests for VARIANT and DATE. Wrote VARIANT support into COMProperty.

Adam Perry-Pelletier2004/06/14 Added test to ensure coclass as [out] param works.
Adam Perry-Pelletier2004/06/14 Added the capability to have a coclass as a property on an interface.
Robert Hastings2004/06/16 Fixed special case handling for SAFEARRAYs. [in] was right, [out] was right but [in, out] was handled like [in] instead of like [out].
Robert Hastings2004/06/16 Removed IUnknown.getIID. This makes it easier to implement an interface in Java when you want to use it to listen for events. We are still considering how to deal with QueryInterface (both forms) and Release. For now these can be empty implementations. On idea is to generate yet another Java interface for listeners. So for IFooEvents we could generate IFooEventsListener. IFooEventsListener would not require you to implement QueryInterface or Release. We are also considering using QueryInterface and Release as apart of a reverse bridge allowing Java objects to act as COM objects.
Robert Hastings2004/06/16 SAFEARRAY support.
Fixed up return values for VARIANTs
Reduced some specializations
Robert Hastings2004/06/16 Added support for DECIMAL type.

Robert Hastings2004/06/16 Added support for DECIMAL types.
Robert Hastings2004/06/16 Consolidated call_method and call_static_method for all array types into jni_traits<jobject>

Updated run-time checks so that a NullPointerException is thrown anytime a jobject or jclass is null unexpectedly. These checks are wrapped in the _CHECK_NULL(X) macro and can be turned off be defining _SKIP_NULL_CHECKS at compile time.
Robert Hastings2004/06/16 Removed dead code.
