maps UNO types to oleautomation types and vice versa.
The XBridgeSupplier2 interface provides the function createBridge which
maps a value of an UNO or Automation type to the desired target type. If an UNO interface
was mapped to IDispatch, then all objects (interfaces, structs) and other
types which
are obtained from that Automation object are automatically mapped to the corresponding
Automation types. Hence, if one provides an initial object which forms the root of all
other objects, such as a service manager, then only that object needs to be explicitly
mapped by a call to createBridge. The same holds true if an automation
object is mapped to an UNO interface.
The Automation types VT_CY and VT_DATE are not supported.
For Automation objects to be mapped they have to implement IDispatch interface. Other
COM interfaces,
except for IUnknown, are not supported.UNO interfaces and structs are mapped to IDispatch.
The service implements the XBridgeSupplier2 interface
and handles the model types
com::sun::star::bridge::ModelDependent::UNO and
com::sun::star::bridge::ModelDependent::OLE.
The service does not specify any
requirements for registering OLE objects and class factories.
