Hi, for the connection to an oracle-db via OOo-Base, a jdbc-driver is required. This driver normally comes as a third-party jar-archive. Wich is the preferred way to deploy the jar-archive in a network with multiple hosts and multiple OOo-Installations?
I already have got some possible ways for deploying the jar-archive in mind, but there is no way that convices me. There might be a better solution. 1) Manually add the jar-archive via Tools->Options->General Settings/Java/ ... add archive: This works but it is no alternative as user interaction is required on each single host and even for each single user. I need a deployment option that could be done by an admin. 2) Putting the third-party jar-archive into the <jre>/lib/ext directory: This is not a good option as the jar-archive might conflict with other drivers from other components than OOo base. The jar-file should only by visible for OOo/OOo-Base. 3) In former versions of OOo there was a java.ini-file that defined a systemClassPath. Regarding to the schema definition schema/org/openoffice/Office/Java.xcs this option is deprecated. So which is the preferred way? best regards, Christoph --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
