maps UNO types to oleautomation types and vice versa.
The function
::com::sun::star::bridge::XBridgeSupplier2::createBridge
maps a value of a UNO or Automation type to the desired target type. If a UNO
interface was mapped to IDispatch, then all objects
(interfaces, structs) and other types which are obtained from that Automation
object are automatically mapped to the corresponding Automation types. Hence,
if one provides an initial object which forms the root of all other objects,
such as a service manager, then only that object needs to be explicitly
mapped by a call to
::com::sun::star::bridge::XBridgeSupplier2::createBridge.
The same holds true if an automation object is mapped to an UNO interface.
For Automation objects to be mapped they have to implement
IDispatch interface. Other COM interfaces, except for
IUnknown, are not supported. UNO interfaces and structs are
mapped to IDispatch.
The service implements the
::com::sun::star::bridge::XBridgeSupplier2 interface and
handles the model types
com::sun::star::bridge::ModelDependent::UNO and
com::sun::star::bridge::ModelDependent::OLE.
The service does not specify any requirements for registering OLE objects and
class factories.
