#2339 IFP: support multiple interfaces for object
Closed: Fixed None Opened 10 years ago by pbrezina.

D-Bus in general allow an object to implement multiple interfaces. For example

Object: /org/example/object
Interface: org.example.InterfaceA
Interface: org.example.InterfaceB

dbus-send ... /org/example/object org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll \
              string:org.example.InterfaceA

dbus-send ... /org/example/object org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll \
              string:org.example.InterfaceB

Will yield different set of properties.

SBUS basically doesn't work with interfaces at all at the moment. It chooses the message handler to be invoked by object path only and check if the object path matches the only one registered interface.

However, it should support allowing to register more than one interfaces per object and the message routing should be like:

  1. Get object path from D-Bus message
  2. Get interface from D-Bus message
  3. Get list of interfaces associated with this object path
  4. If interface not found in list then fail
  5. Execute handler associated with both interface and object

The scope of changes outlined above make me think this is 1.13 material, not 1.12.x
