Hi there,

for an extension I would like to have the OOo update feature active. If
an update is available then the user should be directed to a HTML page
that explains what is necessary to get and install the update.

Unfortunately, my tests do not show this feature to be triggered
(changing the update xml file to a version level that is higher than the
deployed extension).

For that purpose the "description.xml" file is defined as (just showing
the relevant elements):

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <description xmlns="http://openoffice.org/extensions/description/2006";
    xmlns:d="http://openoffice.org/extensions/description/2006";
    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>

      <version value="4.04" />

      <identifier value="org.oorexx.uno.ScriptProviderForooRexx.package" />

      <dependencies>
        <OpenOffice.org-minimal-version value="2.0" d:name="OpenOffice.org 
2.0"/>
      </dependencies>

      <update-information>
        <src 
xlink:href="http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/rgf/rexx/bsf4oorexx/current/ooRexx4OOo_update.xml";
 />
      </update-information>

    </description>
      


The update xml file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <inst:description 
xmlns:inst="http://installation.openoffice.org/description";>
      <inst:id>org.oorexx.uno.ScriptProviderForooRexx.package</inst:id>
      <inst:version>5.00</inst:version>

      <inst:update type="text/html" 
src="http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/rgf/rexx/bsf4oorexx/current/ooRexx4OOo_update.html";
 />

    </inst:description>
      

Is there something I am doing wrong here?

TIA,
