Re: XP/Vista/Office 2007/IE Compatibility Question
Martin, 3) If the software is not independent of Office 2007, is it compatible with it? If not, what is the compatible version and what are the costs involved in upgrading? MGthe way TC handles Microsoft Compound Documents such as XLS and DOC files are thru POI Apache interface MGhttp://www.apachenews.org/archives/001180.html MGThis common POI interface allows access to HSSF (binary file format, .xls) and XSSF (ooxml file format, .xlsx) MGi think its safe to assume POI access to legacy .doc Documents and .xls Spreadsheets is assumed MGin other words read access to POI docs is almost assured..write capability is another matter There is NOT as much support as you say - please read the note more carefully. The Apache POI project is working on OOXML and this support is limited and in Beta form - POI 3.5 Beta 3 was released just this Sunday. (Announcement attached below.) Support for .doc files is nowhere near as robust as .xls, If you have questions about POI you can send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, Dave From the Apache POI Team: The POI team is pleased to announce the availability of Apache POI 3.5 beta 3, our latest beta including OOXML (Office Open XML) support. Apache POI is well-known in the Java field as a library for reading and writing OLE2 office file formats, such as Excel, PowerPoint, Visio and Word. With POI 3.5, it also support the new OOXML formats introduced in Office 2007. See http://poi.apache.org/ for more details Release Highlights: POI-SS - Java API To Access Microsoft Excel Format Files * This common interface allows access to HSSF (binary file format, .xls) and XSSF (ooxml file format, .xlsx) in the same way * Very similar to HSSF usermodel, allowing easy translation of old code support to the new format * All of HSSF should support this interface * Partial implementation of XSSF for this interface POI-XSSF - Java API To Access Microsoft Excel 2007 OOXML Format Files * partial implementation of high level interface * text extraction supported * low level, low memory parsing supported POI-XSLF - Java API To Access Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 OOXML Format Files * text extraction supported POI-XWPF - Java API To Access Microsoft Word 2007 OOXML File Formats * text extraction supported In addition, all fixes from the forthcoming 3.2 release (svn trunk) are included. This includes a large number of formula fixes and improvements, and initial Publisher file format support. For full changelog details, and documentation, please see /docs/ in the distribution. The documentation on the website reflects the state of work on POI 3.2. The source and binaries can be downloaded from your local mirror: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/poi/dev/ The release is also available from the central Maven repository under Group ID org.apache.poi and Version 3.5-beta3. Note that the ooxml support is not available via Maven, as the dependencies are not packaged. For the Apache POI Team Nick Burch
AW: XP/Vista/Office 2007/IE Compatibility Question
Hi Good afternoon. My company, Centocor, is in the process of upgrading its operating System from Windows 2000 to XP/Vista and its Office 2000 to Office 2007. They have installed on, I'm not sure how many, some computers Apache Tomcat, version 5.5. Please answer the following questions at your earliest convenience: 1) Is the software compatible with XP? If not, what is the compatible version and what are the costs involved in upgrading? 2) Is the software compatible with Vista? If not, what is the compatible version and what are the costs involved in upgrading? 3) If the software is not independent of Office 2007, is it compatible with it? If not, what is the compatible version and what are the costs involved in upgrading? 4) If the software is not independent of IE, what versions of it are compatible? Basically I get the idea, you have no idea what tomcat is all aboout. Check out it's homepage first. Upgrading has no costs except for you to learn how to. Most web applications are compatible with every version of tomcat, but that depends on your webapps. You need to check those. Tomcat itself only depends on the JVM, which is already available for any windows. Tomcat's service helper may need adjustments, I don't know. You not going to have any problems with the above... except that Vista is alergic to a hell of a lot of good stuff... if you can, try stay on XP... nothing to do with Tomcat... Vista sucks... This is off-topic and this list is not a good place to discuss about advantages or disadvantages of vista. However I want to note, that there are people, who prefer vista over xp, like me. (I agree, the windows explorer made a little step back, but overall it's IMHO better.) http://www.iexbeta.com/wiki/index.php/Windows_Vista_RC_1_Software_Compatibil ity_List Did you note the RC_1 in the url? Vista is at SP1 and things are different now. Also I want to note, that every decent program I use, worked on vista flawlessly since RC1...

If not, what is the compatible version and what are the costs involved in upgrading? It runs beautifully on XP. I have it running with identical settings on Win2k and XP (my development machine is XP, and the production server is 2k). 2) Is the software compatible with Vista? If not, what is the compatible version and what are the costs involved in upgrading? Yes it can run on Vista, but I have no personal experience as to what settings adjustments may need to be made, if any. 3) If the software is not independent of Office 2007, is it compatible with it? If not, what is the compatible version and what are the costs involved in upgrading? It neither knows nor cares what versions of office or IE are installed; there is no connection between Tomcat and office or IE. 4) If the software is not independent of IE, what versions of it are compatible?

Please answer the following questions at your earliest convenience: MGanswers prefixed with MG 1) Is the software compatible with XP? If not, what is the compatible version and what are the costs involved in upgrading? MGTC does not have incompatibility issues as long as you stay with basic java -jar bootstrap.jar functionality MGIf you are using windows binaries such as jsvc and or Windows installer to execute windows startup binaries MG(such as windows startup services) which modify registry you will have to resolve each issue on as needed MGbasis More information is available at MGhttp://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/setup.html 2) Is the software compatible with Vista? If not, what is the compatible version and what are the costs involved in upgrading? MGAs this question has been answered before and I encourage you to read this response MGhttp://www.mail-archive.com/users@tomcat.apache.org/msg30394.html MGunfortunately as Vista is cost prohibitively expensive for the majority of TC developers many of us cannot MGhelp you with that specific requirement ..keep in mind MGVista is in charge of resources e.g. how Users are created ,who has access to what Folder, Sockets MGwhen vista sees an external process (especially Java.exe) it may disallow MGaccess to that socket (port 8080 may be blocked by Vista firewall) MGaccess to the binaries ..Vista may be disallowing access to java.exe or jspc binaries MGaccess to the folder %CATALINA_HOME% may be blocked by Vista MGthe security issues of That installed .NET Framework will need to be addressed 3) If the software is not independent of Office 2007, is it compatible with it?

MGTC by itself is not dependent on any IE version but uses IE for browsing HTML MGThe question you may want to ask is which version MSXML capabilities will I get with MS Office 07? MGhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSXML MGas you can see you have a choice of only use MXML 5 for Office-07 or use the universally accepted MSXML6 MGagain TC developers use (MSXML) capabilities -generally for XMLHttpRequest transmissions for Ajax MGbut you may want to consult with certified Microsoft Office technicians who do these installations day in and MGday out for any incompatibilities between (a specific version of) IE and (a specific version of) Microsoft Office Thanks, MGThanks, Isabel - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Get more out of the Web.
