If a UNO 41cdf0e10cSrcweir interface was mapped to <code>IDispatch</code>, then all objects 42cdf0e10cSrcweir (interfaces, structs) and other types which are obtained from that Automation 43cdf0e10cSrcweir object are automatically mapped to the corresponding Automation types. Hence, 44cdf0e10cSrcweir if one provides an initial object which forms the root of all other objects, 45cdf0e10cSrcweir such as a service manager, then only that object needs to be explicitly 46cdf0e10cSrcweir mapped by a call to 47cdf0e10cSrcweir <member scope="com::sun::star::bridge">XBridgeSupplier2::createBridge</member>. 48cdf0e10cSrcweir The same holds true if an automation object is mapped to an UNO interface. 49cdf0e10cSrcweir </p> 50cdf0e10cSrcweir <p> 51cdf0e10cSrcweir For Automation objects to be mapped they have to implement 52cdf0e10cSrcweir <code>IDispatch</code> interface.
