116323 - mfcEmbed does not implement nsIDirectoryServiceProvider2

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 116435

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: APIs, defect)

Description

[rpotts (gone)]

The directory-service-provider implemented by mfcEmbed does not support
nsIDirectoryServiceProvider2.  This means (among other things) that the 'local
plugins' folder is not searched for plugins...

Since, only the 4.x plugins folder is checked it is not possible to run java
applets... because the jvm plugin is not compatable with 4.x and *must* live in
the local plugins folder.

That's the problem with copy/paste :-)

Comment 4

Attachment: This patch addreses the root issue -- if the application passes in a provider it *must* implement all properties

This patch causes the default directory-service-provider to get registered
*even* if the application provides its own...  this enables the application's
provider to *only* implement the properties that it wants to override -- it
doesn't have to implement everything.

I'm duping this bug against bug #116435 because that bug is dealing with the
root issue of always creating a default directory-service-provider...
