[dev] OpenOffice running in the background

2007-09-21 Thread houh

Hi 

Iam using OpenOffice1.1.5, and I have a cron job that fires an application
that runs packs and generates PPT files using OpenOffice API and saves them.
Currently, the server that OpenOffice is running on needs to be logged on
all the time so that the cron job will be able to run the packs and save
them. Is there a way to run OpenOffice in the background without the need to
be logged on to the server that OpenOffice is running on?. 
Need to mention that the way the pack is saved by running the pack displayed
to the screen first and then a call to the API saveSpecificDocument will
save it. 

Please advise ASAP 

Tx 

Hussein

Re: [dev] deploying jdbc-drivers (.jar) on multiple hosts/OOo-Installations

I did it that way (WindowsXP):
Deploy the jar file in a folder of your choice and then set the 
classpath via the options/java.
Take the generated file ./user/config/javasettings_Windows_x86.xml and 
deploy it to all users.


It's not convenient but AFAIK there's no way to do it with a uno-package 
until now.

[dev] deploying jdbc-drivers (.jar) on multiple hosts/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 /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
