Service Framework - invoke signal on server side
-
hi!
I am experimenting a bit with the (IPC) service framework using qtmoiblity 1.1 (currently on windows but the app I am doing will have to run on symbian & meego)
my question is:
can I invoke a signal on the server Qobject derived class?
I wrote a helper function to call methods on the server side:
@void MyClass::invokeServerMethod(const char* aMethod, QGenericArgument val0, QGenericArgument val1, QGenericArgument val2, QGenericArgument val3) {
QObject* server = m_clientHelper->service();
if(server) {
if( !QMetaObject::invokeMethod(server, aMethod, Qt::QueuedConnection, val0, val1, val2, val3) ) {
CRITICAL("could not invoke method" << QString(aMethod));
}
} else {
CRITICAL("No service found, could not invoke method" << aMethod);
}
return;
}
@everything works as long as I call on the server side a SLOT, but if the parameter I pass as aMethod is a SIGNAL then I hit this assert it qtmobility code
@Q_ASSERT(d->endPointType == ObjectEndPoint::Client); in file ipc\objectendpoint.cpp@
which makes me think that I cannot invoke a signal on the server fron my client process.
anyone knows why is that?
Thanks!
