ior with dropped files has little or nothing to do with the LS
database.
if you remember (or search the archives), i had exactly this
problem a few months back. i get openApplication and
reopenApplication but not openFile. and there's way too much work
in my (Ruby) launch script to simply switch to
JavaApplicationStub, so i'd love to know what the magic ingredient
is.
I suspect, given my experience, that what happens is that
JavaApplicationStub launches the Java code, but stays connected
with the JVM and listens for Apple Events from the rest of the
system. Those events are then passed to the application via the
ApplicationListener interface.
I think the handleOpenApplication happens as a direct result of
registering the listener. When trying to get the hipster code to
work, I watched the Apple Events being sent back and forth and
there didn't appear to be one, which suggests the method is called
whether or not a stub like JavaApplicationStub is running.
Consequently an application starting via a shell script will still
get the handleOpenApplication().
I must admit, I never got the handleReOpenApplication() method.

You did get one open document event, why that may not of processed
unless there was no AppleEvent handler I don't know. You did not get
two open document events which when I re-read one of your prior posts
seemed to be what you should of got. Something does need to install
the native appleevent handlers and remain around. The
JavaApplicationStub is strictly tied into the launch as far as I know
so it probably is not what does it. It is probably additional code
included with the OS X JVM to manage that.
This is getting to be guess work on my part, but it provides about
all the additional knowledge I have in my experience. Which has
included java JDirect and JNIDirect AppleEvent handlers. Actually
java AppleEvent client/server code. Although that was supposed to
make more sense when I had more machines to mess around with for
client/server type applications. For now it's still just me and the
mighty mini so I don't do that much with that or the RMI client/
server functionality in my code.
