Hi,
ooobean is great, I use it in a small project (gnuaccounting.sf.net),
but I have a problem:
my app only works when ooobean.jar is in the classpath. I can't deploy
ooobean.jar with my application because it uses relative paths to the
installed openoffice. I can't use sth. like a custom OOoconnection
because this would require a started OO instance with a customized config.
1) Is there any way to start a standard openoffice instance (without
changing the config) from a custom directory, something like like
startOOoConnection('file:///usr/local/lib/ooo-2.0')?
2) if not, how hard would it be to patch ooo to support something like
this? Would one have chances to get this upstream?
3) would this violate any design issues, e.g that a ooo 2.0.3 officebean
could or should not connect to 2.0.2 libraries (.so/.dlls)?
4) how else could this be done? As far as I understood a classloader
would be tedious(?), so i currently use a starter. This starter
basically executes java -cp <your openoffice location> mainclass (is
there any way to tell a running jre to change classpath or start another
instance with another cp?) and interestingly is currently the reason why
the windows version of my app does not work.
5) I'd like to keep this thing as multiplattform as possible, that's
e.g. the reason why I don't just bundle it with
windows-portableopenoffice....
so: how would you do that?
thanks a lot and kind regards,
Jochen
