Re: [dev] OpenOffice Integration
Hi everybody, Could you tell me please, what settings should I provide for OO (environment variables, configuration files, etc.) to make it working in the context of my application if I simply copying OO from its original installed location on some computer to certain folder on other, or by using my own compilled version without an installation? Thank you. Kirill 2009/12/28 Juergen Schmidt juergen.schm...@sun.com Hi Kirill, it is already possible to have multiple instances of OOo on one computer. Your described scenario is also possible and you can manage your own copy of OOo in the context of your application. You can use your own application specific user directory, can control the life cycle and can connect to exactly your configured office from your own application. You can start the office listening on a specific pipe, connect your app to this pipe and everything else is the same as before. See the SDK examples how to connect to an office via a socket connection. Simply replace the socket connection with a pipe connection. See the DevGuide in the wiki for more details.

Thank you. This is exactly what I need to do too. And I was googling all day yesterday to find documentation about how to set up a minimal bare bones oo writer installation and couldn't find anything. That's why I subscribed to this newsletter in the hope to find the information I need. I have my own process that starts up a headless instance of writer to run a doc to pdf macro. This already works, but I would like to provide a minimal installation inside my own software tree. I don't want my users to have to install a full version of Office, which installs a lot more than I need and creates registry entries all over the place. I could do with a pointer to the right information too. Thanks in advance, Gert - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org

Re: [dev] OpenOffice Integration with Eclipse RCP Application
Hi, Kent Gibson a écrit : I need to access the Plugin C from my app, without using the the java.library.path property. OpenOffice seems to rely heavily on the java.library.path property, but when I set it at runtime it doesn't seem to make any difference. This whole thing only seems to work when the OpenOffice Lib is in a subdirectory of PlugIn A. OpenOffice looks for the local library (Windows: officebean.dll, Unix: libofficebean.so) relative to the officebean.jar in the OfficePath/program directory. OpenOffice has some special class loading, which I can't get to work with Eclipse across multiple plugins. Does anyone have any pointers how I can this to work? In the Eclipse plugin for OOo Code support, I used a trickery: I created a Java application (packaged in a jar in my plugin) that handled OOo. I just launched this application with Runtime.exec and the right environment variables (LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux and PATH on Windows). However, there should be other ways that I'm not aware of. If this couldn't do your trick, I'm interested in any other solution to dynmically set the java.library.path variable. Hope that helps, Cedric - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[dev] OpenOffice Integration with Eclipse RCP Application
Hi-ya, I am having a bit of a nightmare integrating OpenOffice and any help would be great. Here is the scenario: I have an eclipse rcp app which uses Plugin A - my OpenOffice handling code and PlugIn B - My User Interface code which uses the Swt Bridge, Plugin C - My OpenOffice Lib ie all the classes and dll's, and other files openoffice needs. I need to access the Plugin C from my app, without using the the java.library.path property. OpenOffice seems to rely heavily on the java.library.path property, but when I set it at runtime it doesn't seem to make any difference. This whole thing only seems to work when the OpenOffice Lib is in a subdirectory of PlugIn A. OpenOffice looks for the local library (Windows: officebean.dll, Unix: libofficebean.so) relative to the officebean.jar in the OfficePath/program directory. OpenOffice has some special class loading, which I can't get to work with Eclipse across multiple plugins. Does anyone have any pointers how I can this to work? many thanks. Sorry to be so verbose, however I can't find much info about this. But I found someone who had what sounded like a similiar problem with a OpenOffice and Java Web Start (JNLP) Integration. I have copied it below: Working around this constraint, I created a custom ClassLoader (subclassing the java.net.URLClassLoader) which will load all the JARs in the classes folder (hard code the directory for now). Should work, won't it? But no. Java Web Start uses a specialised com.sun.jnlp.JNLPClassLoader, which does not bother about the system classloader. This is to say that by loading all the JARs via my custom ClassLoader does not trigger JNLP's ClassLoader to pick them up. The result - ClassNotFoundException. My next venture is to explicitly set the java.ext.dirs property via the JNLP file, pointing it to the classes folder and hoping the system class loaders will automatically load all the JARs in it. Don't get me wrong, as this approach works for a stand-alone GUI application, but when run via Web Start, we now get a different result - NoClassDefFoundException. In a desperate experiment, I tried to force the system classloader to load these JARs, by force introspection, using the URLClassLoader's addURL(URL) method. Since this method is private, I had to use the reflection API to invoke the method. Improvement here, as the classes were finally picked up by JNLP, but then comes a strage error - InvokationMethodException, with a strange error message - This cannot happen. __ Do You Yahoo!?
