UNO and the URE will not bring you a direct support of different clients, or generate reports. In your case UNO will be used as Corba or ICE. That is that your framework can be split into components performing specific tasks (eg, reporting component, GUI components, ...) and they will expose an API which can be used by anyother component in different implementation languages, or on different machines. You can even establish a connection to a UNO environment throught a network, but I never tested it with the URE... Here is some documentation about the URE and UNO: http://blogs.nuxeo.com/sections/blogs/cedric_bosdonnat/2005_12_07_creating-an-ure http://development.openoffice.org/servlets/GetAttachment?list=contest&msgId=2598090&attachId=1 http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/ProfUNO/ProfUNO.xhtml http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/JavaEclipseTuto I'm currently working on an Eclipse plugin to support development of UNO components. For the moment it works only with an OpenOffice.org installation and Java implementation, but I planned to support the URE before June (C++ will come later). I hope this could help you to make your decision.
