Hi Asiri / Marius

I've been looking around in JODConverter documentation and indeed there's no 
support for running OpenOffice in a remote Server. The only way I see (in a 
very near future, I hope) is running JODConverter as the so called "Web 
Service" mode, which is not available yet on the version we're using in XWiki, 
right (3.0beta3)? It's said on Issues page: 
http://code.google.com/p/jodconverter/issues/detail?id=40

Asiri, when the web service mode turns available on next versions of 
JODConverter, will it be possible to use it in XWiki, in the way to have 
OpenOffice and XWiki on different servers? I'm so interested on it because in 
our company here, it's not (and I believe it won't be) possible to share our 
production container server with an openoffice instance (policy restrictions 
higher than we can deal), and we do have a dedicated openoffice server up and 
running, on another machine, for other applications. We're running XE2.4.3 
without Office Importer functionalities and the main reason to upgrade to the 
last version, among others, would be the opportunity window do activate this 
amazing feature, what would substantially boost our XWiki experience. 

Aren't there any possibilities or approaches in the short term, at all? 

Thanks in advance for your precious help.

We're using http://code.google.com/p/jodconverter/ to connect to the 
OpenOffice server and convert office documents. Here's a discussion 
regarding your problem on their google group, raised by Asiri, the 
person who wrote the xwiki-office-importer module: 
http://groups.google.com/group/jodconverter/browse_thread/thread/f4f0e8328d422fbf
 
.

Using a remote OpenOffice server had some limitations at that point. 
Maybe you can check if the latest version of jodconverter was improved 
in this direction.

Hope this helps,
Marius
