I am trying to use the API from my portal on one Linux server to access OpenOffice running on a separate Linux server. I took all the jars from OpenOffice and made them part my portal but I could only get the API to work after I installed OpenOffice.org on the portal server as well. And I see that when I use the API for the first time on the portal server, OpenOffice is started up on the portal server.
Do you have to have the complete OpenOffice.org application installed on the API client server and why does it start OpenOffice automatically on the client server? BTW I am using OpenOffice.org 2.4. Thanks for any info on this. Andy
