Hello all
I'm writing an OpenOffice add-in for Calc in Java as part of Apache
Spatial Information System (SIS) project. I would like to access a
database registered as an OpenOffice data source through the JDBC API. I
see how to obtain a com::sun::star::sdbc::XConnection [1] from
OpenOffice database context by following the developer guide [2]. I can
see how I could use XConnection and related interfaces (XStatement,
etc.) as their design seems similar to JDBC. But I need to access the
database through java.sql.* interfaces rather than the
com.sun.start.sdbc.* ones, for use with an existing Java library (namely
Apache SIS). So I would like to know:
* If a com::sun::star::sdbc::XConnection is connecting to a database
using the "jdbc:" protocol, can we get the underlying
java.sql.Connection?
* If the answer to above question is "no", do we have wrappers
somewhere that allow me to use a XConnection as if it was a
java.sql.Connection?
As a bonus, it would be nice if OpenOffice configured a JNDI environment
for applications running in the JVM started by OpenOffice. That JNDI
environment would give access to the OpenOffice data sources in the form
of javax.sql.DataSource. I could volunteer for this part if there is
interest.
Regards,
Martin
