Hi Simon, and thanks for your answer and the classloader-sample-code,
normally if you have the oo-jars (all from oo-home/program/classes) in your classpath (manifest or CLASSPATH or with the -cp switch) the libraries are found. There is a helüper-class, which load the
If you want to deploy your application together with the oo-jars (in a relative subdirectory) the native-libraries cannot be found.
OK
If I understand you correct and you want to deploy your applicationOK. That's what I want to do; deploy my application (if possible as a single java JAR) to users which use different OSses and have their OOs in different locations.
(some mails above on this list) on different systems and OS. You have to
find a way to set the correct-classpath and native-ölibrary-path on the
target system.
I do not need to have officebean.jar in my JAR, but I'll explain why that would have helped in the next paragraph. I won't do it, anyway, because this obviously is not the way it's ment to be.
OK. Additionally, I can not use a selfstarting JAR if I do not have a classloader or a launcher application that changes the JAR-Manifest according to the user's OO-location because a java -jar-Application won't react on the -cp-Argument nor or the CLASSPATH-environment. (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/findingclasses.html, "The JAR archive specified by the -jar option, which overrides all other values. If this option is used, all user classes come from the specified archive.")
You can use start-scripts (run.bat run.sh) which create a classpath and
launch your application with java -cüüp mypath my.package.Main. But the users have to set the OO-path by hand before. In this case you
cannot use a selfstarting jar.
You can develop your own Launcher and add the oo-jars from
the target-system to your application.
Example:
...
On the windows-platform you will get problems if the oo-home/program
directory is not int the %PATH%. You can preload the native-libs, but
you need the right order of the libs and this can simple changed by
newer OO-releases.
Do you mean this order can change in a newer OO-release or this problem can be resolved by using a newer OO-release?
I hope this can help.
very much, thank you
