A temporary document created while doing mail merge can be seen as implementation detail, but not if there is an extension that wants to hook into the handling of database fields in general, like e.g. Stampit. I know for sure that we would break that extension by not broadcasting the events for documents created while doing mail merge. How does Stampit prevent OOo from disposing the documents behind its back? My experience so far has been that even if I wanted to do something useful with the temporary mail merge documents, I couldn't, because OOo concurrently disposes them. Another big problem I have is performance. Right now I test the URL of the document and ignore it when it's in /tmp (Doesn't work with 3.2, unfortunately). Even with this simple test, mail merge performance drops significantly. I need to determine as quickly as possible that a document is from a mail merge process. Otherwise mail merge performance becomes intolerable when you do several 100 instances. After all, our ex-Word users already consider OOo's mail merge performance (several orders of magnitude slower than Word's) intolerable even without an extra extension slowing it down further.

[dev] How to ignore implementation details exposed via GlobalEventBroadcaster
I have a component that registers on the GlobalEventBroadcaster to listen for new documents (OnCreate event) to do some processing on every text document that is opened. Now I have the problem that OpenOffice.org broadcasts these events even for internal documents that it creates temporarily. For instance when I insert an AutoText, OOo apparently creates a text document in the background and broadcasts and OnCreate event for it. When doing a MailMerge it creates lots of these background documents. This creates all kinds of trouble. For instance these documents are quickly disposed which causes DisposedExceptions in my component and while my component catches these and can deal with the situation, OOo becomes unstable and eventually crashes or freezes when this happens too often during mail merge. I think OOo should not even broadcast events for these documents. They are implementation details subject to change. Components have no business dealing with them. But anyway, how do I ignore these documents? And how do I avoid the race condition between me testing if this is an internal document that I should ignore and the OOo internal code disposing the document potentially before I had the chance to test it.

Re: [dev] Announcement: Migration to Mercurial
Maybe I've overlooked it but I haven't seen an equivalent to svn switch URL-of-CWS-or-tag With svn I had one checkout which I switched to whatever cws or tag I wanted to build and svn switch would only download the differences between my current checkout and the target. That was fast, saved bandwidth and hard drive space (believe it or not, I have to make do with an 80GB hard disk). With Mercurial it looks like I have to clone a complete repository whenever I want to build a CWS or a tag. Could someone give me the Mercurial equivalent to the following sequence of instructions: svn co http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/trunk/ cd trunk svn switch http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/cws/blabla # Now the current directory contains the OOo sources for CWS blabla svn switch http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/tags/OOO320_m2/ # Now the current directory contains the OOo sources for milestone OOO320_m2 # NOTE: The changes from CWS blabla are NOT merged. Unless they have been incorporated in m2 by # the OOo developers, they are gone now from my checkout. # This is an important point.

I wholeheartely agree. This was a big issue with 3.1. OOo was so broken for a while that it was unusable and we simply stopped building OOo since we saw no point to it. When we got back into testing (OOO310_m6) we found several regressions but we were too late for 3.1. The result is that OOo 3.1 will be the worst OOo ever from our POV. It's so broken that it's impossible to use with our app and our organization (that's over 9000 OOo installations) will have to completely skip 3.1 and pray for 3.2 to be better. that means i won't find some other bug that will prevent somebody else from using a dev build and finding yet another bug and so on ;) Exactly. Because we have to skip 3.1 due to its brokenness, there may be other regressions that we won't be able to find until 3.2 and we may end up having to skip that release also, which will prevent us from finding more bugs, and so on... It's absolutely no fun to maintain a complex app that interfaces with OOo. There are so many regressions and backwards-incompatible changes that about every second MINOR version release of OOo breaks our app and requires us to change stuff and/or introduce workarounds. There needs to be more stability and fewer regressions! Matthias - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org

[dev] Removing the ability to write data into ODB files
For policy reasons we want to prevent users from storing data directly inside ODB files. But we want to retain all of OpenOffice.org features for other database types that use external storage. Does anyone have an idea how we can achieve this? Matthias - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But we want to retain all of OpenOffice.org features for other database types that use external storage. Does anyone have an idea how we can achieve this? Try removing the hsqldb2.dll (resp. libhsqldb2.so) library from the installation. This is the driver which implements the embedded database. Okay. That's a piece of information I've been missing. I checked the Dev Guide but didn't find HSQL listed in the table of drivers and since the table is prefixed with Below is a list of all available drivers. I concluded that storing data directly in ODB files is special functionality implemented outside of the standard driver framework. I think I'll file an issue for that omission. The cleaner solution would be to de-register this driver at the global service manager. This is needed once, and should be possible with a Basic macro, but I don't have any code at hand. The following code will do it - Dim oPathSubst as Object oPathSubst = createUnoService( com.sun.star.util.PathSubstitution ) Dim sRegistryLocation As String sRegistryLocation = oPathSubst.substituteVariables( _ $(prog)/services.rdb, true ) Dim oRegistry as Object oRegistry = createUnoService( com.sun.star.registry.SimpleRegistry ) oRegistry.open( sRegistryLocation, false, false ) Dim oKey as Object oKey = oRegistry.getRootKey() oKey.deleteKey(/IMPLEMENTATIONS/com.sun.star.sdbcx.comp.hsqldb.Driver) oRegistry.close() -- However, after executing this code, regview services.rdb still lists hsql in the instances listed below in the SERVICES subtree. So the removal is not complete, which I assume will have unwanted side effects. What do I have to do to get rid of these entries, too? / com.sun.star.sdbc.Driver Value: Type = RG_VALUETYPE_STRINGLIST Size = 416 Len = 10 Data = 0 = com.sun.star.comp.sdbc.calc.ODriver 1 = com.sun.star.comp.sdbc.ODBCDriver 2 = org.openoffice.comp.drivers.MySQL.Driver 3 = com.sun.star.comp.sdbc.MozabDriver 4 = com.sun.star.sdbcx.comp.hsqldb.Driver 5 = com.sun.star.comp.sdbc.JDBCDriver 6 = com.sun.star.comp.sdbc.flat.ODriver 7 = com.sun.star.comp.sdbc.evoab.OEvoabDriver 8 = com.sun.star.comp.sdbc.dbase.ODriver 9 = com.sun.star.comp.sdbcx.adabas.ODriver / com.sun.star.sdbcx.Driver Value: Type = RG_VALUETYPE_STRINGLIST Size = 301 Len = 7 Data = 0 = com.sun.star.comp.sdbc.calc.ODriver 1 = org.openoffice.comp.drivers.MySQL.Driver 2 = com.sun.star.sdbcx.comp.hsqldb.Driver 3 = com.sun.star.comp.sdbc.flat.ODriver 4 = com.sun.star.comp.sdbc.evoab.OEvoabDriver 5 = com.sun.star.comp.sdbc.dbase.ODriver 6 = com.sun.star.comp.sdbcx.adabas.ODriver - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[dev] Questions about qatest failures
Hallo, I've run the ooo_releasetests.sh on my own build of OOo 2.1 and I have some questions about the tests that failed. The first failure is tGallery_CheckNames - check the number of gallery-themes Warning: Difference in count of gallery themes; found: '6'; expected: '30' - check the names of gallery-themes file for comparison is : /ooo/qatesttool/graphics/update/input/gallery/gal_49.txt I've checked several other OOo installations (from the PrOOo Box) on Linux and Windows. In every case the Gallery had only the 6 entries Begrenzungen, Bullets, Eigenes Thema, Hintergründe, Homepage and Klänge. Where are the other 24 themes supposed to come from? The next failure (well, not technically a failure) is tHelpCheckForUpdates This could be a (patched) OOo installation on Solaris Sparc/Intel - No Online Update Feature available. This used to be tHelpCheckForUpdates Warning: Online Update Feature isn't available in this build? (no 'UpdateURL' in file: '/opt/openoffice.org2.1/program/versionrc') then I entered UpdateURL=http://update.services.openoffice.org/ProductUpdateService/check.Update in versionrc and it turned into the message about a patched OOo installation. I've checked the OOo from the PrOOo box. The Windows version has the Check for Updates item in the Help menu, but even after entering the above URL in versionrc the Linux version 2.1 and 2.2 from the PrOOo box don't have the Check for Update item. Is this normal? What are (aside from the UpdateURL) the conditions that have to be met for the menu item to appear under Linux.

On 2/12/07, Thorsten Bosbach [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Where are the other 24 themes supposed to come from? That is because the test writer assumed that he always has a StarOffice version to test ;-) He updated his test for OOo 2.2 and SRC680: on 14.12.2006 http://qa.openoffice.org/source/browse/qa/qatesttool/graphics/update/inc/global/gallery.inc?r1=1.16r2=1.17 The change wasn't done for the tests in the branch for OOo 2.1 I will ask him, if he will do it for OOo 2.1 also... Thanks, but all that I wanted to know is that there's not some hidden switch I have to set at build time to get more themes. How to get this Update feature enabled is described in: http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/onlineupdate/Software_Update.odt That's where I got the UpdateURL from. It says The visibility of the new menu item Check for Updates... will be triggered by a new key entry in the version.ini|rc files. The key is called UpdateURL and should provide a valid http URL to the update server. The menu item will be visible if this key has a value, otherwise menu item will be hidden. The following line illustrates the new key in the version.ini|rc file: That's why I'm surprised that setting the UpdateURL does not make the item appear (on Linux). Apparently there's more to it than is written in the specification. Matthias - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[dev] Is a dbgutils build supposed to produce so many messages
I've done a --enable-dbgutils build because I thought it could aid in debugging the frequent OOo crashes we suffer from. I'm a little bit shocked (although on 2nd thought not really surprised) at the number of message boxes with failed assertions and other messages about conditions that are not supposed to happen. Is that expected or is that just because our application (we're making heavy use of UNO to construct documents from a Java program) is stressing OOo so much? Is anybody interested in these messages? E.g. the message below tells me Please inform OD. Is OD really interested? Error: Assertion failed == FILE : /ooo/src/OOE680_m6/sw/source/core/layout/anchoredobject.cxx at line 738 ERROR : SwAnchoredObject::GetObjRectWithSpaces - cache for object rectangle inclusive spaces marked as valid, but it couldn't be.

[dev] How to build multi-language OOo or language packs?
I've managed to build OOo from the standard sources. I've specified --with-lang=de and was hoping to get an OpenOffice whose GUI I could switch between US English and German. However I ended up with 2 independent directories with a full set of .deb packages in each directory. The German packages only install the German language and the English set presumably only the English language. What do I have to do to either build a set of packages that will install both languages at the same time or alternatively how do I build a language pack that will add another language?

I've tried without success to dispatch URLs for a custom URL-scheme supported by a custom component via the command line, i.e with the command soffice URL This works fine for http:-URLs and private: URLs as well as file: URLs, but not for my custom URLs.

Re: [dev] Distributing data sources to multiple machines
On 12/19/06, Andrew Douglas Pitonyak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Matthias B. wrote: You say Data Source, and I think Base Document. You no longer need to register a data source to use it. You simply need to point at the Base Document. The primary advantage for this, however, is that they are displayed when the user presses F4 (I think it is F4). You're thinking about programmatic access. But my problem is that we have several template documents for form letters. The templates are already linked to the appropriate data source (via Edit/Exchange Database) by the template creators. We want the templates to just work on every client PC, so we need to set up appropriate datasources. But even in the context of programmatic access, database files are not a good replacement for registered datasources. We have a heterogeneous environment here with different operating systems in different networks connected to different servers. While we can standardize on abstract datasource names such as FormLetterSource, it is impossible for us to define a single URL to a database document that will work everywhere. Think about the following problem: You have 2 completely separated networks, one with an Oracle database storing client addresses and one with a MySQL database storing client addresses. You want to create a form letter template that works unchanged for users in both networks. How would you do it? Abstract datasource names look like the only good solution to me. And that brings us back to the question how our admins are supposed to preload them on all of our machines in an efficient way. If you desire the data source to be a registered data source, well, then you must run a script to register each base document. You say script, does that mean there is a command line tool or options to call soffice with that will do that? Or do you mean I'll have to write a program that uses com.sun.star.sdb.DatabaseContext to register the datasource? What about the problem of multi-user machines for which we do not know in advance who will use them. Is there a way to register datasources in a shared way, so that all users on the machine will see them?
