278133 - Implement 'array' param support

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Java to XPCOM Bridge, defect)

Description

[jhp (no longer active)]

Currently, the parameter setup code in nsJavaWrapper and nsJavaXPTCStub just
prints a warning message and returns an error for 'array' parameters.  The
frozen interface nsIProperties has a method that uses an 'array' return value
(nsIProperties::getKeys()).

This patch was checked in a while back.

Arrays (and sized strings) are currently supported in nsJavaWrapper.cpp (that is, the Java->XPCOM direction), but not in nsJavaXPTCStub (XPCOM->Java direction).

Need to follow xpconnect: create an equivalent of the XPCConvert class, which centralizes all of the Java<->XPCOM parameter marshalling code.  This would greatly reduce complexity, and reduce some code duplication.
