[Bluez-devel] Serial server problems

["Pooyan McSporran" <duckfreezone@gmail.com>]

(I'm unclear on which list, either bluez-devel or bluez-users, this
query should be on.  Let me know if I've sent to the wrong list.)

I'm trying to write an application using BlueZ which will:
- advertise a service, based on SPP (custom UUID, etc)
- listen for incoming connections for that service
- when an inbound connection is requested, create the connection
- send data to/from on the connection

I'm having problems trying to work out how to do this using the DBus
interface.  I've browsed through the Wiki (http://wiki.bluez.org) but
all the examples that I've found seem to be from the client
perspective, not a server.  (Correct me if I'm wrong.)  The only
server example I found is for the network service, not the serial
service.  Similarly, the 'test-serial' python script only implements a
client.

The approximate sequence of actions that I'm currently
(unsuccessfully!) using is:
- Determine the default adapter (DefaultAdapter())
- add the service (AddServiceRecordFromXML())
- activate the serial service (ActivateService ("serial"))

The service is then visible to remote devices (so far so good!)

- create a proxy (serial.Manager.CreateProxy (uuid, "/dev/rfcomm0"))

This is where I'm obviously missing some basic stuff, I'm not sure in
this area (with ports, proxies, etc).  Any help that people might have
in this regard would be appreciated.

Thank you.
