Oh, what else you can do: 1) Create a pipeline to create the content.xml file (one of the files within an OpenOffice file). You can use ESQL and XSL to create such a file. 2) Use wget http://server/file.xml content.xml 3) Zip it into an .sxw file, together with the manifest.xml and other files.
Et voila, you have a valid OO file, without the hassle of using Java.
