Missing Class in com.sun.star.drawing

Keymaster

I have a big problem. i use this statement in my java application

Object oGraphic = xMSF.createInstance("com.sun.star.drawing.GraphicObjectShape");

The problem is that the oGraphic object is null. I have no GraphicObjectShape in the package com.sun.star.drawing, but why?

The peace of Code is out of a other Thread in this Forum an there it works.

(Sorry for my bad english, i am from germany)

Please help me, i am searching for an solution since 2 Days.

In the other code, did it create an object of this type, or did it obtain the interface? There are two chapters available for free from my book from the publisher. One of the free chapters is the chapter dealing with drawing documents.

Yes normaly everyone can find it at com.sun.star.drawing. I can call the package drawing normally but there is now GraphicObjectShape. I find it in the sun docus and so on but not in my libs. I dont know why but there is no GraphicObjectShape and no other Class having nearly the same name. What OpenOffice Lib i have to include in my java project to use the GraphicObjectShape? Perhaps i have forgotten somthing.

I have included the openOffce jars in program\classes

If you are building a component that is installed into the office, and runs within the office, then you need to put the jar files from OOo into your compile-time classpath.

If your java program runs from outside of the office (i.e. a standalone program, or a servlet, for example) then you must include some of the OOo jar files in your runtime classpath.

The jars are found under your
$OOo/program/classes
folder.

Ok that is whate i have done.

alle these jars are included but no GraphicObjectShape file is available.

Is the GraphicObject Shape a Class ! File ! or is it only something else?

But if i can call it with com.sun.star.drawing.GraphicObjectShape it have to be a class file i think. Or be i wrong?

If it is a class, only god knows why it is not available in my application

Keymaster:
Do you have the SDK installed?
If not, please do that. The Developer's Guide describes the first steps of coding in Java in its first or second chapter, I think.
It's a very simple and good description and will probably help to solve your problems.
