Re: Registering a GATT service via DBus

Hi Edmund,
 
Hello,

my attempts to register a GATT service via DBus from Java have so far
been unsuccessful. The GattManager1.RegisterService method does not
return any reply, instead I simply get this timeout exception:
Exception in thread "main" org.freedesktop.DBus$Error$
NoReply: No reply within specified time
As I understand, RegisterService DBUS method in gatt-database replies back to
client only when client is fully ready. It happens when service is successfully created
by gatt-database and all managed objects are successfully retrieved from client
service and parsed by gdbus/client.c.
Also, all I see in the logs is the registration attempt, but no error:
Aug 11 14:42:02 raspberrypi bluetoothd[5466]:
src/gatt-database.c:manager_register_service() Registering service -
path: /com/lilandit/iventcloud/skg/service
This print only only suggests that external service is created by gatt-database
Introspection of the service (with mdbus2 tool) shows this info (which
matches the specs as far as a DBus noob like I can tell):
[METHOD]   org.bluez.GattService1.GetPrimary() -> (b:arg_0)
[METHOD]   org.bluez.GattService1.GetDevice() -> (o:arg_0)
[METHOD]   org.bluez.GattService1.GetUUID() -> (s:arg_0)
[METHOD]   org.bluez.GattService1.GetCharacteristics() -> (ao:arg_0)
[METHOD]   org.bluez.GattService1.GetIncludes() -> (ao:arg_0)
[METHOD]   org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect() -> (s:arg_0)
[METHOD]   org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer.Ping() -> ()

The implementation of the service is incomplete (same applies to the
ObjectManager registered at "/"), however I was expecting to at least
get some feedback on registration and possibly see some of the service
methods being called at this point. Instead I get nothing.

Any ideas what may be wrong or where I should be looking for the cause?
According to GATT API doc, client service should export ObjectManager interface
on its client root path. If this is not done, then I think 
GetManagedObjects call from gdbus/client will fail and client ready
will not be invoked and possibly DBUS timeout occurs.

Is your service exporting ObjectManager interface on service root path?
Kind regards,
Edmund

PS: I'm using BlueZ 5.32

We are currently discussing if the service interface shall be exposed
in the root path give, ObjectManager documentation has been documented
saying that only child path interfaces shall be returned. That said
the problem here is that GetManagedObjects probably never returns,
thus the request times out.

PS: I'm using BlueZ 5.32
I think I need to clarify that I have exported two objects. The ObjectManager 
(path "/" with interface org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager), and the 
GattService (path "/com/lilandit/iventcloud/skg/service" with interface 
org.bluez.GattService1). Is this OK, or should I have one object that implements 
both interfaces?

Note that GetManagedObjects is never called (nor are any other methods I 
implemented, each of which has a log statement right there in the first line).

Because ObjectManager interface is in a different path which
bluetoothd has no idea of.

I am now making some progress with one class implementing both interfaces. At 
last, I am receiving method calls.
