Bug #: 49517
Summary: : Java Macro Embedded in document will not
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.5.2 Release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
AssignedTo: [email protected]

Test file is an empty document with an embedd 'HelloWorld' java macro.
Running libreoffice 3.5.2.2
Problem description:
The HelloWorld java macro that runs just fine when invoked from its normal
location (under libreoffice/share/Scripts/) but fails with a scripting error if
the same macro is embedded in an .odt and run from there. A popup says:
"A Scripting framework error occurred while running the Java script
org.libreoffice.example.java_scripts.HelloWorld.printHW.
Message: org.libreoffice.example.java_scripts.HelloWorld.printHW"
Running this macro in the same .odt in an earlier version (3.4.4) of
libreoffice (and an old openoffice) works just fine.
I have to admit that embedding a macro in a document is not something that I
can find any documentation on. Although this is something that I have done for
several years with OpenOffice and LibreOffice with no problem, perhaps it was
an undocumented feature that has been removed?
Steps to reproduce:
1. First test the existing macro:
Open writer.
Tools/Macro/Run Macros/LibreOffice
Macros/HelloWorld/org.libreoffice.example.java_scripts.HelloWorld.printHW
The text "Hello World (in Java)" is written into the open document.
This is as expected.
2. I do not know the 'correct' method for embedding a macro in a document (if
there is one), but this works on earlier versions of libre office:
- save an empty .odt
- unzip the .odt
- copy the HelloWorld.jar and parcel-decsriptor.xml from /opt... to the
unzipped files Scripts/java/
- make suitable changes to the META-INF/manifest.xml
- zip it back up to the .odt
To save you the bother, a test.odt is attached to this report.
3. Change your libreoffice security options to allow macros to run from a given
directory as a 'trusted source'. Save a copy of test.odt there.
4. Open test.odt.
Tools/Macro/Run
Macros/test.odt/HelloWorld/org.libreoffice.example.java_scripts.HelloWorld.printHW
The above error popup is displayed.
Current behavior:
Macro fails to run.
Expected behavior:
Expect the macro to run and write "Hello World (in Java)" into the .odt.
This works in version 3.4.4
Platform (if different from the browser):
Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/12.0
Also true on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit with the same result.
Also tried removing Ubuntu libreoffice packages, downloading everything from
libreoffice directy and installing those '.deb's.
All give same error.
