[dev] Re: [ooo-announce] [pr] FINAL: OpenOffice.org 2.0.4 Is Here.... And It's Our Birthday!
I hope someone writes the release notes soon because http://development.openoffice.org/releases/2.0.4.html gives me an error 404 Louis Suarez-Potts wrote: All, This is Friday 13 October and the day marks two important events: the immediate availability of OpenOffice.org 2.0.4 and our sixth anniversary. First things first. OpenOffice.org 2.0.4 is ready for download now. It is a significant release and recommended for all. As with all OpenOffice.org releases, it runs natively on Windows, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X (X11) and many other platforms; and it probably runs in your language. Check with your favourite Native Language Project to see if the application is available today. New features, bugfixes, and improvements include: * Enhanced PDF management * Direct export to LaTex * Nested queries in Base * New functionality in Calc and Impress * Mac OS X (X11) uses system fonts * And a lot more... But the most important is our improved use of extensions. We've been very busy here, and have succeeded in making it easier for developers of any level to create extensions (aka packages) for OpenOffice.org. With 2.0.4, a new door to the future is opened: Developers everywhere are invited to start writing extensions! To learn more, visit our Extensions Project, http://extensions.openoffice.org/. Download the application now, start using it immediately, and write extensions tomorrow. * Download: http://downloads.openoffice.org/2.0.4/ * Release Notes: http://development.openoffice.org/releases/2.0.4.html And now our anniversary. Six years ago today, OpenOffice.org was launched as an open-source project. Wikipedia [0] has an excellent timeline, and in the last OOoCon we presented on the State of the Project [1], but the basic fact is that in the last six years we have helped shape a new world. Tens of millions of people use OpenOffice.org daily; governments have or are considering mandating it or its open-standard file format, the OpenDocument format, or ODF; and all have saved hundreds of millions of dollars and taken significant steps to ensuring that data is not lost to proprietary technologies. No small accomplishment. If you want to participate in this huge and peaceful movement for a better world, join us, spread the word, help us and yourself out.

Re: [dev] how to create your own configuration reader in OpenOffice.org (configmgrrc)
see answers inline Joerg Barfurth wrote: Hi Christian, from what I understand this stuff can only be done in c++ right now, not java. Not so. The backends are accessed as UNO services and can be written in any language suitable for writing UNO components. This includes Java and even Python. My information about this is a little bit dated I think the last time we checked if we could use java was on the 1.1.x series of OOo, not 2.0.x series. I've searched the mailiong list but cannot find the mail regarding this, so I might be totally wrong. Anyway, if it now works in OOo 2.0.x that is a great benefit for me, since I don't have to learn c++ :-) The only premise is that the UNO language binding does not access the configuration database for its own startup configuration. IIRC that used to be a problem with Java in OOo 1.1.x, but shouldn't be the case any more in OOo 2. hopefully it does not need to, since the url from where it needs to download the files are specified in the configmgrrc file.. We did create a modified version of the Configuration chapter in the developer's guide that explains the services and interfaces involved in this. Unfortunately it seems to have not made it into the OOo 2.0 version of the guide. I'll check if I can find it somewhere and get it up onto the website. That would be very much appreciated. and if you could telt us the url of this document when/if you find it and have it uploaded :-) The short summary is: You need to create a UNO service that implements one of the abstract services com.sun.star.configuration.backend.SingleLayerStratum [1] or com.sun.star.configuration.backend.MultiLayerStratum [2]. This essentially amounts to implementing the methods of the XSingleLayerStratum or XMultiLayerStratum interface to return a Layer object whose XLayer::readData method reads and parses from your data store. If you store your data in the 'xcu' XML format, you can use the existing com.sun.star.configuration.backend.xml.LayerParser service to implement the Layer object. All you need to do is provide an XInputStream to read the data. ok, this sounds doable, adn I'm looking forward to start testing it next week :-) If I manage to write my own configurationreader can this then be installed using unopkg? or do I have to compile it within my own version of OpenOffice.org? You can install such a backend using unopkg add --shared. That will not automatically enable its use for the standard configuration stack though. To activate it for that purpose, you need to add it to the CFG_Strata entry in $officeinstall/program/bootstrap. don't you mean $officeinstall/program/configmgr[rc|.ini] ?`because that is where I have changed CFG_Strata variable before? and looking in bootstrap now, it shows no such variable.. Alternatively you can have your SingleLayerStratum register itself as an instance of service com.sun.star.configuration.backend.PlatformBackend. In that case it will be used automatically through the special 'SystemIntegration' backend service. Warning: this service is still declared 'unpublished' and thus is subject to change in a future version. (I do think that is unlikely, though and changes will be announced using the interface-announce mailing list.) well, if this is as well-documented in the developersguide as the rest of the configuration system, I'll probably try to add it to the configmgr file :-) -- Christian Andersson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Configuration and Collaboration for OpenOffice.org Open Framework Systems AS http://www.ofs.no - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[dev] how to create your own configuration reader in OpenOffice.org (configmgrrc)
Hi there, I have some questions regarding the configuration system within openoffice. (as you will se from below I'm not that good with how OOo works internally, nor c++) I think I partly understand that basics about what it does (reading configuration files from different places, etc) and what can be done using this, but I have come to a situation where I need to read the configuration from a server using http/soap/etc instead of local files. today I have it working so that it can read these files using com.sun.star.comp.configuration.backend.LocalStratum but that can only read from file:// and not from http:// from what I understand this stuff can only be done in c++ right now, not java. so my questions will be.. how can I create my own version com.sun.star.comp.configuration.backend.LocalStratum that instead of reading from the harddrive it reads over http.. If I manage to write my own configurationreader can this then be installed using unopkg? or do I have to compile it within my own version of OpenOffice.org? I have read the Developers manual, but I still have a hard time figuring out how to do this, is there any other documentation for this then the developerguide? /Christian Andersson - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[dev] Password protecting TextSections
I'm not sure if this falls into this mailing this, but I've already asked on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyway, I need to know how the text:protection-key value is calculated for TextSections. I'm manipulating the xml directly to create password protected sections that the users cannot edit inside openoffice.org , if this was just a straight denial I could enter anything I wanted and be pretty sure that noone from within openoffice.org would be able to unprotect the textsection since it would be very improbable that any hash system would create a hash like this unlikellyhash. unfourtunally I must allow some users to unprotect the section from within openoffice.org and by this I must create a text:protection-key that is compatible with the openoffice.org way, but sofar (without reading the sources for openoffice.org) I have found no other definition on this other then it is an encrypted hash value... can anyone in here help me with the algorithms used? /Christian Andersson - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [dev] Innbrudd på no.OOo's hjemmesi de?
first of all, you are writing to a mailing list that is english based, therefore most users in here will not understand what you have written. what you might have experienced is that the download of OOo 2.0 on no.openoffice.org links to the ftp site that holds the 2.0 norwegian build of OpenOffice.org, this build is not hosted on the main openoffice.org site. (btw I have nothing to do with the norwegian version, or any other version, I'm just an user reading the mailing list you have written to) however the links on the norwegian download pages seems to be wrong since they give an error 404 page from wha tI can see that build has been removed on the ftp site, and a newer build (2.0.1 rc5) can be downloaded instead here (on the same ftp-site) http://ftp.linux.cz/pub/localization/OpenOffice.org/devel/680/2.0.1-RC5/ fo windows you probably want to download OOo_2.0.1_windows_install_nb.exe for the bokmål version and OOo_2.0.1_windows_install_nn.exe for the nynorsk version /Christian Andersson Nils Nielsen wrote: Hei Forsøkte å finne ut om dere hadde OOo 2.0.1 klar.

Re: [dev] createUnoService problem in 1.9.x on windows
The problem is that I'm not writing anything to stdout/stderr, the problem I have is that I think that OOo isnot beeang able to create my javaservice even though it continues to execute AFTER the createUnoService call from basic. (previous versions of 1.9 has stopped at this line, but 118 does not) Ok, I admitt it, I'm in error. my problem was (in windows strangly enough) was that the user had no write permissions to the directory where my debug file was supposed to be placed (for some reason I was locked out of that directory) anyway, this has nothing to do with my problem, since my problem appeard before I tested this.. anyway, After making sure that the log file can be written to, I could redirect both stdout and stderr in java, and use my debug function. anyway after getting the debug info I can still not see why it fails, there are no strange exceptions, it just does not work... the debug-file for linux looks like this - installation part __writeRegistryServiceInfo() __writeRegistryServiceInfo() __writeRegistryServiceInfo() __getServiceFactory(biz.companyon.openoffice.Service) __getServiceFactory(biz.companyon.openoffice.Properties) __getServiceFactory(biz.companyon.openoffice.Section) __getServiceFactory(biz.companyon.openoffice.Document) - Execution part __getServiceFactory(biz.companyon.openoffice.Service) new Service:1 new Service:2 getConfigurationValue loadConfigurationValues setConfigurationValue saveConfigurationValues ... - installation part __writeRegistryServiceInfo() __writeRegistryServiceInfo() __writeRegistryServiceInfo() __getServiceFactory(biz.companyon.openoffice.Service) __getServiceFactory(biz.companyon.openoffice.Properties) __getServiceFactory(biz.companyon.openoffice.Section) __getServiceFactory(biz.companyon.openoffice.Document) - Execution part __getServiceFactory(biz.companyon.openoffice.Service) new Service:1 new Service:2 getConfigurationValue loadConfigurationValues setConfigurationValue saveConfigurationValues ... for windows it looks like this... - installation part __writeRegistryServiceInfo() __writeRegistryServiceInfo() __writeRegistryServiceInfo() __getServiceFactory(biz.companyon.openoffice.Service) __getServiceFactory(biz.companyon.openoffice.Properties) __getServiceFactory(biz.companyon.openoffice.Section) __getServiceFactory(biz.companyon.openoffice.Document) - Execution part __getServiceFactory(biz.companyon.openoffice.Service) new Service:1 new Service:2 as as you can see there is no difference, except that the function getConfigurationValue is never called and the log-file stops the new Service:1 and :2 are the first and last thingh that happens when instatiating the service class, so there is no exception there either... and neither stdout or stderr says anything, so it looks like there are no exceptions, it just does not work... - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Write it all out to a log file... Remove the logging code when you are finished. what if the problem is the instantiation of the class that does the writing? for example, I get an exception creating the class, trying to open the file to write to? there is still quite valid reasons to be able to see what gets written out to stdout/stderr from java, not everything can be solved by manually logging stuff.. If I could have told java itself via some parameter that stdout/stderr should be redirected to a file, that would also work, since I can add parameters to how java will start inside openoffice.
