For better performance, here is another idea.

 0. Register a simple XSLT template as an input filter
to your OpenOffice.org.

 1. Do the XSLT transformation with Java or any other command
such as a xsltproc command alone and save the result as a
temporary file.

 2. Let the OpenOffice.org to read the temporary file through
the simple XSLT template which will just do .

In the step 6 below would make a bad performance if the external
Java program is running separately from OpenOffice.org and connecting
to the OpenOffice.org through TCP/IP or named pipe.

It would be possible to let the Java program run as a process
of OpenOffice.org which could dynamically load a Java VM into
a process of OpenOffice.org so that the Java program would be
running more efficiently. To do so, however, you would need to
develop your Java program as a UNO component and deploy it to
your OpenOffice.org.

As you know, Java classes could be packed into .war file and
be deployed to an application server, you can deploy your
Java classes to your OpenOffice.org as a UNO component.
However, I guess, it might be far beyond your expectation.

Any much cooler idea?

 3. Create a XSLT transformer (3) with (2).
 4. Create a pipe (4),(5).
 5. Transform (1) with (3) and write results to (4).
 6. Let the OpenOffice.org to read (5) coming from (4).

So, it could be no need to use a XSLT function embedded in OpenOffice.org.
Just use available XSLT such as javax.xml.transform, instead and
give the result to the OpenOffice.org.

Hi,

Looking up those key words - application, getDocumentService, and loadDocument 
- in the Internet gives us information on what you are using.
That type of helper classes developed by a third party could be one of the ways 
to handle document files.

To understand OpenOffice.org's original API, I guess, many people here would 
recommend use of Software Development Kit of OpenOffice.org first. Once you 
have understood the API, then try to use such helper classes offered by third 
parties.

SDK can be downloaded from a link Download in the navigator SDK at
http://api.openoffice.org/

There are many example codes available in the SDK. They could help you 
understand the API.

API documentation of the method I mentioned is also available in the SDK and a 
web site at
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/frame/XComponentLoader.html#loadComponentFromURL

It would not be hard to do that. There might be lots of solutions.

This is one of the examples:
http://distribution.openoffice.org/source/browse/distribution/mirrors/repository/production/tools/Calc/

The key you might have been looking for would be:

 1. Name the filter as you like and fill "Filter name" field with it
during XSLT installation to your OpenOffice.org.

 2. Specify the exact same filter name as a value of "FilterName"
property which will be passed to loadComponentFromURL().

Hello everyone, i am new here and i have a question to ask which might be a

What i want to do is to develop a component such as a button in open office
which , when pressed, imports an xml file which can be selected by a file
dialog and apply an already installed xslt import filter -which basically
transforms the XML file and fits its data to a simple table-.So the result
is a report-like .odt file with data provided by my xml file.
(this is the final goal,for the moment i want to just do it from command
line java program)

I am stuck at how can i use the api to load a filter package i installed
before opening the document,so that when the page opens you see the .odt
file with the table and my data..
i am able to do so from openoffice interface , the traditional way, but how

if the xslt based filter is installed correctly it has a name and should 
be usable via the normal API. See the code snippet base or the SDK for 
examples how to load a document with a specific filter.


For the UI integration you can implement an addon. If you are using Java 
you can do it quite easy by using our NetBean plugin.
