Re: [dev] Print PDF using OpenOffice

Re: [dev] First release of the PengYou project
Hi Jérémy, I testes the whole system and really looks promising (I'd like to include the whole in our SWT-Application). Might I suggest that you set up a mailing list to ask questions. I saw the webform at your the homepage but a mailing list or newsgroup would be a really great thing to ask questions (e.g. I'm having trouble to get the web-client working) and to give feedback. Another great thing would be if the project could provide its SVN or CVS repository to access the sources and create patches for problems found in the projects. One more thing: The timestamp displayed in my openoffice-plugin always shows 1.1.1970 is this a known bug? Oh and a bugtracker would also be a great idea!

I am also interested in adding some custom attributes or information to ODF files. Is there a recommended way of adding more information to an ODF document using the existing schema that would be persisted through saving in OO? Only for metadata, as far as I know: User-defined metadata is a more generic mechanism which specifies a triplet of name, type, and value. Supporting applications can present these value to the user, making use of the supplied data type. The user-defined metadata can be referenced from within the document through the use of suitable text fields. Custom metadata are arbitrary elements inside office:meta. Since their semantics is not defined in this specification, conforming applications in general cannot process or display this data. Applications should preserve this data when editing the document. I don't know whether that would be enough for you. Probably not, from your table example. Well in my idea it it would be really great if you could do something like this: custom-data.xml 8-- office:custom-data id=custom1 ftm:if test=x=1 / /office:custom-data 8-- content.xml 8-- table:table-row table:style-name=ro1 office:custom-id-ref=custom1 8-- So any element can hold additional data beside the offical ones.

Do you just want to load the file, ignoring the extra content, or do you
need to preserve your markers? Foreign elements and attributes are
ignored in most places. In a few places, like
style:table-cell-properties in a cell style, foreign attributes are read
and preserved. In the case of a cell style, they are then included when
the cell is copied or moved, and written again in the cell's style when
the file is saved.

Yeah I would need to preserve those markers take the following:
1) I design a reports in OOCalc
2) I open the Document in my vi, notepad, ... and add my special tags
like e.g.
table:table-row table:style-name=ro1 ftm:list=persons as person
table:table-cell office:value-type=string
text:p${person.givenname}/text:p
/table:table-cell
table:table-cell office:value-type=string
text:p${person.surname}/text:p
/table:table-cell
/table:table-row
In the template engine which is gets passed variable named persons (in
Java an Array of Person-Objects) now the template loops over this
foreach person and the resulting document (plain ODF-File) with say 3
additional rows holding the person information.
(Maybe I one day you this is done directly in OpenOffice with an
Extension or something else) = Hey OpenOffice get's a reporting engine
with one of the greatest visual report designer people ever saw ;-)
3) I want to change the design of the document e.g. adding a header and
footer. I want to open the file add change add the header and footer and
my information should have been preserved.
From your mail i got the feeling that this is not possible at the moment
in OpenOffice. Wouldn't it be a simple to restore this non-odf values
e.g. as strings next to the object and insert them back when saving the
object (I know this is not so easy but you may get my point :-).

The Method createQuerydefinition() which I'm using is one-to-one from the
CodeSamples.java (see code below)
The Problem is that the last-but-one command returns null (= the xStore
variable is null).
When I look at the XQueryDefinitionsSupplier interface at api.openoffice.org
there is nothing about a support of XStorable. But there should be one as
the example of the DevelopersGuide and CodeSamples.java explains.
So how else can I retrieve the XStorable interface and then store the query
definition?
Besides:
I have read in the api reference that XSingleServiceFactory is deprecated
and it is recommended to use the XSingleComponentFactory instead.
So I alter the method (see code below) with this code:
XInterface nQuery =null;
try {
nQuery = (XInterface)
xSingleFac.createInstanceWithContext(xContext);
} catch (Exception e) {System.out.println(e);}
XPropertySet xProp = (XPropertySet)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class,nQuery);
Here the NullPointerException is already thrown at the [nQuery= ..]
line.
I'm at my wits' end. I have read through the API 100 times but can't find a
solution.

I can save MS Word and OOo Writer files as HTML but not as PDF.
I am using the following environment:-

The snippet of code that creates the PDF files is as follows. (Most of
this is adapted from the ConverterServlet in the examples folder for
the SDK together with parts adapted from ooo-cgi):-
// Getting an object that will offer a simple way to store a

// If Xcloseable is not supported (older versions,
// use dispose() for closing the document
XComponent xComponent = (XComponent)
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XComponent.class, xstorable);
xComponent.dispose();
}
For every PDF filter type a com.sun.star.task.ErrorCodeIOException is
thrown but not when using the HTML (StarWriter) filter.
Is there something obvious that I'm missing? Do I need to add any extra
jars to the classpath?

Hi Kirk, No you simply have to discover the right filters which have to be used ;-) A more appropriate place to ask is: - dev@api.openoffice.org - http://api.openoffice.org/DevelopersGuide/DevelopersGuide.html But once more if you plan to use this snippet in a multi-threaded environment like your J2EE-Server you need to serialize access in your application or have to have a pool of OO-Instances and dispatch conversion process to one of them.

Well normally ooffice, oowriter, ... are bash-scripts or even perl (on mandrake) starting soffice to popup the appropriate OpenOffice-Application. On Mandrake for example one would have to same problem because: ooffice2.0 does the following: 8 #!/usr/bin/perl -w my $SystemInstallDir = '/usr/lib/ooo-2.0'; ... exec $SystemInstallDir/program/soffice, @ooo_argv 8 which means soffice is not in my path.

Nothing changes. unsupported wrapper stuff ;-) What you could try is 1. ensure that office_install/program is in the PATH I tried: -%- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/openoffice/program [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/usr/lib/openoffice/program [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ eclipse searching for compatible vm... testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj...found -%- and then I run the application again: nothing changes 2. call your java class with parameter, like java -Dcom.sun.star.lib.loader.unopath=/opt/OpenOffice.org/program .. OK, I added a classpath variable to the project. Variable Name OFFICE_HOME value /usr/lib/openoffice/program. Then it work. You suggested the solution. mmh, that shouldn't be necessary when you have a normal installation on your system. But i don't know if Debian does anything special. In your first mail you mentioned that you have started your office with ooffice -accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp Why is it named ooffice? Is that Debian specific? If yes that is probably the problem. The bootstrap mechansim requires some pre-conditions (e.g. soffice must be in the PATH, a symbolic link is sufficient). Please can you test to rename ooffice to soffice and insert a symbolic link ooffice - soffice instead. It would be interesting for me to know if this solves your problem. Juergen Thanks a lot!

Re: [dev] Install-Macros on OO2
I'll take a look in the dev-guide section where addons are described and other uno-packages. In OO you also have an MenuEntry to install addon-packages, there are makefile/ant examples which create an Addon-Package for you in the SDK you can obtain from api.openoffice.org. We are also discussing an addon-manager which downloads addons from locations on the web. Normally the process of install packages is to create a ZIP-File out of your addon. Take a look e.g. to the snippet creator a link can be found here: http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.org/ For a description of unopkg I'd ask on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tom Helmut Seidel wrote: hello tom, that may well be(?) - is there anywhere a description/howto of unopkg? thanks helmut Tom Schindl schrieb: Helmut Seidel wrote: hello everybody, i've got another question which is of importance for me: i developed several applications (partly commercial - that means password protected) in oo-basic. up to now it is quite difficult to install them on customer computers (partly windows, partly linux) - but still its no problem because the are marketed regionaly and i can do the setup myself. in near future the are sold on a wider basis - so a mechanism to install the macros is needed (i.e. copy the librarys, forms and documents, register the librarys and create startbuttons or menus etc.) is there (or will there be) a possibility to do this in oo2? thanks for your answers helmut - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do you search for pkgchk OO 1.x and unopkg on OO2?

Ask at dev@api.openoffice.org where people don't discuss OO development but API things.

Re: [dev] New Add-On
[...] Have you considered an incubator project http://incubator.openoffice.org/ or submitting your code to the codesnippet project http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.org/ ? Codesnippets is not the right place for such large projects like addons its here to show small programming exercises. Currently we are discussing at the api-list an OO-Extension-Manager to install Addins/Templates/ from a central web-repository. This would be the right place for a project Alex announced. See for more information http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=43532 and api-list. Tom If you are interested, email me back. Then, I may send you a rough trial.

Re: [dev] New user of postgresql drivers
Now my first question, I need to add actions to some of the fields, I can see how to do that from the control window but I need more help with the actual 'programming' of the macros. So where can I find documentation on the Macros? http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.org/Database/oobasic.xml If this should really be on the user list rather than the dev list then apologies but as I'm using the very new postgresql drivers and want to know about programming macros dev seemed more likely to be right. users@dba.openoffice.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
