I need to implement the org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager D-Bus interface in my glibmm application (in order to pass it to the org.bluez service). I see that glib(mm) has already the Gio::DBus::ObjectManagerServer class which implements this particular D-Bus interface.
How can I register my application’s D-Bus interfaces with the ObjectManagerServer? It looks like my application needs to pass an instance of DBus::ObjectSkeleton which in turn needs an instance of DBus::InterfaceSkeleton. As InterfaceSkeleton is an abstract base class, it looks like I need to derive from in within my applications classes. Is there an example how to do this? Which constructor of InterfaceSkeleton do I need to call from my derived classes? What data do I need to pass?
I don’t know much about Gio::DBus, but I think you should use the gdbus-codegen command
to generate one or more subclasses of GDBusInterfaceSkeleton. gdbus-codegen can
only generate C code. You can probably wrap an object of a subclass of GDBusInterfaceSkeleton
in C++ code by calling one of the many overloaded Glib::wrap() functions.
The wrapping C++ object will (hopefully) be a Gio::DBus::InterfaceSkeleton.

This seems to make sense, I’ll try this way (probably next week) and come back with the result.
