270240 - Freeze the nsPromptService ContractID

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 285080

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: APIs, enhancement)

Description

Freeze the nsPromptService ContractID

Now that nsIPromptService is frozen, we also need to freeze the nsPromptService
ContractID.  This needs to be done so that consumers can: 1) access the built-in
nsIPromptService implementation, and 2) override the built-in nsIPromptService
implementation to provide a non-XUL version.

Our embedding examples show people how to override nsPromptService, and
embedders are following our examples, so we need to freeze the ContractID.

Here it is:

#define NS_PROMPTSERVICE_CONTRACTID \
 "@mozilla.org/embedcomp/prompt-service;1"

We should probably create a header file named "nsCPromptService.h" for this, or
since there are other components in the embedcomp module, we could put them all
in one header file (e.g., the WindowWatcher service).

It looks like bz fixed this by adding the PromptService's ContractID to
nsEmbedCID.h in bug 285080.
