[libreoffice-users] Re: trying to integrate oracle forms with libreoffice
I have ended finding another solution for this. As OLE is a Microsoft Windows technology connecting LibreOffice with Oracle Form through it will only work on Windows. To build a Linux compatible solution required another focus so after thinking a bit I found that using jopendocument (http://www.jopendocument.org/) to do the job would be very nice and portable. the problem with this is that jopendocument's api is too much large to build a component wrapper for it in Oracle Forms in a quick time so I thought about wrapping it with another more simple thing and wrap that final component in Oracle Forms At the end I have build a wrapper for beanshell (http://www.beanshell.org/) which is very simple and with it I do the calls to jopendocument. the code and a sample of integration with jopendocument is here if anybody wants to use it: http://sourceforge.net/projects/oformsbeanshell/ best regards -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/trying-to-integrate-oracle-forms-with-libreoffice-tp4068433p4071222.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] Re: trying to integrate oracle forms with libreoffice
Hi at the end I could made this work, the integration between libreoffice and webutil fails for two reasons: -there was no an adequate procedure for passing arrays as call arguments -the version of the jacob java library which comes with oracle forms 10gR2 was very old and doesn't support passing a arrays as arguments I made a small component similar to webutil which uses a newer jacob library and implements the call for passing arrays as arguments. I have done some basic testing (open a new document a save it with some text) and it works. I can't make the code public as the code is derived from Oracle code which comes with the Oracle Forms server but if anybody needs it I can send it in a private message best regards -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/trying-to-integrate-oracle-forms-with-libreoffice-tp4068433p4069830.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] Re: trying to integrate oracle forms with libreoffice
libreofffice works well with ole, you can test it with the script in this page: http://www.openoffice.org/udk/common/man/tutorial/office_automation.html the problem is that the libreoffice's api is not the same as the one of m. office so you must adapt the ole calls to do the work with libreoffice. this is not a lot of work if you have already worked a bit with libreoffice macros, some months ago I adapted an app which did the calls with jscript in this way and was quite easy the problem happens when the calls are inside a closed source component (probably your situation) or you have an obscure mediator component (my situation) regards -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/trying-to-integrate-oracle-forms-with-libreoffice-tp4068433p4068516.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] trying to integrate oracle forms with libreoffice
hi In my organization we have some applications built with oracle forms which generate .doc and .xls documents, as we are migrating to LibreOffice we are trying to remove the office suite from the pc's but the users with these applications can't make the switch. the problem is that oracle forms generates the documents in the client using ole2 calls (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Linking_and_Embedding) to the office suite through a component called webutil (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/webutil-090641.html) ole2 is well supported by libreoffice so in theory the connection from oracle forms to libreoffice through webutil is possible: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/ProUNO/Bridge/Automation_Bridge the problem is that it seems that the webutil component was developed only with the microsoft office suite in mindand there is not guarantee to it functioning well with other suites: https://forums.oracle.com/message/4190690#4190690 has anybody faced this problem before? is possible to make libreoffice work with webutil or there is another similar component already developed with the same funcionality? thanks -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] Bug 60390 - FILEOPEN: Cannot open particular document
in situations like this, independently of the work to be done to make libreoffice capable of opening those files you can use a version of microsoft office which supports odf to convert the file to odt. this can be an effective workaround I attach you the converted file (using microsoft office 2013). you can use these software to do the conversion from a shell: http://code.officeshots.org/trac/officeshots/browser/trunk/OfficeConvert I attach also a bat file which can help to automatize the conversion process best regards Al 12/02/2013 13:29, En/na C.
