So you want to convert an xml file to an odt file using xslt? If you are fine with using OOo3 (that hopefully will be released soon) there is a simple way to achieve that using our extension feature. I was just going to provide some documentation in the wiki and write a blog about it, so if you could wait for a few days ... Once you have your transformation in place as a filter component you can import the xml file via API with or without a file dialog. > (this is the final goal,for the moment i want to just do it from command > line java program) > > I am stuck at how can i use the api to load a filter package i installed > before opening the document,so that when the page opens you see the .odt > file with the table and my data.. > i am able to do so from openoffice interface , the traditional way, but how > can i do it programmatically..? How did you install the filter package? In the "traditional" way for our xslt based filters, as a jar file? > For the moment i open a file from java using > the api but i dont find any info on how to apply a filter prior to opening > it. Sorry, I don't understand this. How do you open your file from api so that no filter is applied? Do you mean that the xml file is imported as a text file?
