[Bluez-devel] Question about Bluez-4.1 Object Paths

[Bluez-devel] Question about Bluez-4.1 Object Paths

[David Stockwell]

Gents,

After installing 4.1 yesterday, I noticed that the object paths for 
org.bluez.Adapter and org.bluez.Device have changed: both are now 
prefixed with "/org/bluez", probably reflecting the recent firestorm 
with the DBus folks.  So now, the object path for the "zero-th" adapter 
is not "/hci0", but "/org/bluez/hci0" as it was for the "legacy" DBus 
interface.

At the same time, the object path for org.bluez.Manager is still "/". 
Is this intentional, or an oversight?

David Stockwell

the object path of the adapter and device interfaces need to be
discovered via functions like ListAdapters and ListDevices. Relying on
stable object path names is wrong. I will change them randomly from
release to release if I have to. Any application that will break because
of this is a broken application.

Regards

Marcel

Greetings, Marcel

BTW: Not sure what is going on with the lists, but I just got your 
response in the digest today.  Good thing we have irc.

Agree with the requirement to discover adapter and device interface 
object paths.

Also noted that we are still using "/" for org.bluez.Manager, and 
appreciate your "reasons" for doing so ;-) (raising Havoc, so to speak).
