But according to the (example) source code I first create a so called OleFrame: oleFrame = new OleFrame(sShell, SWT.NONE); within that frame an oleClientSite object is created, which specifies the actual ole application oleClientSite = new OleClientSite(oleFrame, SWT.NONE, opendocument.WriterDocument.1); That pretty much looks like OLE stuff. whereas boolean oleYesOrNo specifies if you would like to include ole information. I assume you yes no, so you directly get the file stream and not the OLE storage. Not really sure what you mean here. The file that is saved is a sort of an openoffice document. I unzipped it and it contains several xml documents, including a content.xml where I can find my bla bla editings. Then I compared it with a normal saved document and I found that it was missing some pieces, e.g., the thumbnails directory and the meta.xml file. The appearance of the filter dialog (as mentioned in your first mail) seems to tell us that the file misses a proper MediaType. Is there a manifest.xml with the correct type added?

Tobias Himstedt wrote: oleClientSite = new OleClientSite(oleFrame, SWT.NONE, opendocument.WriterDocument.1); That pretty much looks like OLE stuff. Yes, internalay this oleClient.save method results in a JNI which in turn calls a OleSave function (where ever that comes from). OleSave is a Windows API call that can be used to retrieve the stored content of an embedded OLE object. The appearance of the filter dialog (as mentioned in your first mail) seems to tell us that the file misses a proper MediaType. Is there a manifest.xml with the correct type added? No this is missing too. OK, that explains why you get the dialog. It should load in OOo1.1 and later developer builds of OOo2.0 though if you select the correct filter. To my knowledge the file stream OO stores into the OLE storage is a complete OOo document, so it's a miracle to me how something can get lost. Maybe SWT manipulates the file?! Unlikly as SWT does not know any internals of the embedded document and why should it just pick out the manifest.xml? I puzzled about this. If OOo documents are embedded as OLE servers they store themselves as OLE storage that contains a stream named package_stream and contains the whole zip file as usual. So an OleSave should give you the OLE storage (that does not look like a zip file, so it's not what you obviously got).

Can a document lost the frame? No, a Controller can't exist without a frame, so OOo never will detach a Controller from its frame without destroying it. But it's possible to have a document without a controller (non-active OLE objects are a good candidate for this). So I see two possible explanations: either you don't have even a controller or you have a Controller that is disposed already, but somebody kept a reference to it (bug!) and this dead object of course can exist without a frame.

Personally, I don't think that a fork would be successful, but what I was trying to say is that we shouldn't make our lives difficult by dwelling about what RMS might have in mind. Just let him do whatever. This doesn't have to be a big deal if we don't make it one. I also don't believe in the success of such a fork - and I don't see the point in it. They would be better off just rewriting the stuff that depends on Java and contribute it to the main code base. If their code had the same quality than the existing one it could replace the Java code that obviously bothers them. And I'm sure that developers capable of maintaining a complete fork should be able to deliver the necessary quality, and after that they don't need to maintain the whole code base, only their parts (but maybe even not all of it). If these contributions where rejected they still could create a fork using it. If people don't consider a contribution first I think they have other reasons for the fork and the Java thing is only an excuse. Maybe it's the missing intention or ability to support platform independent development (many free developers only care for Linux, and many free developers only for their special breed)? Maybe it's the JCA? But YMMV, it's only my personal opinion. As repeatedly mentioned on several mailing lists, Java implementations in OOo wheren't carried out in Java just because - usually Java was either the easiest or the cheapest way or there have been other good reasons for the developers. Believe it or not, it's easier to find god Java developers than to find good C++ developers, especially for a platform independent application as OOo.

No I hadn't considered it, but now that you've mentioned it, I've discussed it with the network guy that maintains our Apache server and that capability should be simple to install and activate. It appears to be a superior approach to accomplish what I'm trying to do anyhow. What features does OOo currently support of DAV (or what OOo/SDK doc page can you point to, if available)? Currently OOo supports only basic features, not more than for ftp. You can open the folders in the file dialog, you can create, open and save files. Access to files and folders can be password protected or not. Locking is currently not supported. One advantage over ftp is that WebDAV folder access also works through a proxy, while the usual ftp-over-http-proxy does allow only file access, not folder access. I assume this isn't interesting for your environment, but I wanted to mention it. I nevertheless recommend WebDAV instead of ftp because it is the better technologie on server side and we might add more features in further versions of OOo.

Re: [dev] Writer allows deleting opened file while saving
Ales Kahanek wrote: With such applications we do another approach: we try periodically to get ShareExclusive access to this file. If the request is rejected, we know that the file is still opened and edited. And here is the problem with Writer - when you save the file in Writer, there is a short period of time, when the the exclusive access to the file can be obtained and more, the file can be even DELETED. There is an important point to know: this behaviour can be reproduced when the OO QuickStarter is running (I do not know if this could have any impact on it). What do you think about it? How can I know, when the file opened by Writer was closed? Or better - shouldn´t this behaviour be changed not to release the file access lock? If we overwrite a file we must (at least for a short span of time) release the old one or (to keep the lock) use a more complicated approach that - when things go haywire - can result in crashes and data loss or would need a complete rewrite of our persistence code to avoid that. It's too much to explain it here but believe me, we considered this very carefully. There are so many things that can happen why saving a file, you wouldn't believe it. And Linux/Unix file systems add a lot of complexity that make them incomparable with Windows file systems, so a comparison with Word or Excel doesn't really help. BTW: we changed the behavior a bit for OOo2.0 (but still with a temporary release) and now we have the most robust solution implemented, Even removing a remote file system while a file gets saved to it shouldn't cause OOo to crash or lose data. Relying on the locked state of a file IMHO is a hack (sorry). But there's no need to use such a hack because you can use our API to get the job done. If you placed a listener in every open document you would get notifications when they are closed and then copy the content of the file they have been saved to to your database.

Re: [dev] Best way to send a doc without saving it
Magnus Timmerby wrote: Hi, I'd like to contribute one feature to OO, also I need some advice on the best way to do it. I checked the SDK docs and my conclusion is that there is no provision in the SDK, i.e. I need to work on the source. Suggestions are welcome. I want to add a custom export feature that typically would: - export the current doc to the chosen target file format - NOT bring up the file save dialog - but instead send the file with a HTTP POST to a web application Configuration for the web targets would include: - URL to target web server - optional POST parameters (used for metadata) I think it's getting more common with this type of integration. We have a few web applications that support receiving files via POST in this way, and with the correct parameters, the resulting effect is that you can push any doc into the target application into the right place, without going via file. Today we manually export and import PDFs 50 times per day so it would simplify our workflow immensely. Would this be of interest? And can you please help with some starting points in the SDK and/or the source? OOo allows you to store a document to a stream, use the storeToURL() method of the document and provide on OutputStream to it in the arguments (Sequence of PropertyValue) of the call. If you have a stream that both implements com.sun.star.io.XInputStream and com.sun.star.io.XOutputStream (so preferably an object that implements com.sun.star.io.XStream) you then can immediately use the stream as PostData for a post request to your server. It should be possible to use the com.sun.star.ucb.SimpleFileAccess service to create such a stream. If you don't want to use Basic for your implementation you can also use the com.sun.star.io.TempFile service that directly implements a com.sun.star.io.XStream interface based on a temporary file (a bug prevents using it in Basic currently). The simplest way to post content given by a com.sun.star.io.XInputStream to a server is to open(!) the URL of the server via Dispatch API. The server is expected to return some HTML content, but I think it works even without this. I haven't any code here at hand, but maybe it gives you some guidance. You can read more about storeToURL(), PostData and Dispatch API in chapter 6 of our Developers Guide. All interfaces and services should be documented in the API Reference documentation. Both are part of the SDK. BTW: are you sure that using WebDAV to store the document directly one the server isn't the better choice?

Re: [dev] drawing with Java2D inside Openoffice
Bernhard Haumacher wrote: I was thinking about something like the formula editor of OpenOffice.org. Such formula is displayed within the document, stored within the documents ZIP and can be edited from the plugin. Is it possible to write something like the formular editor as plugin or UNO component for OpenOffice.org? OOo Math is a so called Embedded Object. In OOo 1.x these objects needed to be OOo (internal) C++ objects or (on Windows) COM objects, but in OOo2.0 it is possible to implement them in Java too (by implementing some UNO APIs we have defined for this and by providing some configuration files that make new object types known to OOo), but there are two obstacles you need to overcome: What you need first is a replacement image. This is the graphic OOo displays when the object isn't active (for various, mainly performance reasons embedded objects are not loaded except they must be!). It shows the state of the object when it was edited the last time. After successful editing, the objects' state is stored into the container document (the one that embeds the object) and a new replacement image is retrieved from the object that is stored inside the container document also. You can study all this in the 1.9.x versions of OOo. Usually you would like to use a vector graphics format for the replacement image because of its better scaling capabilities. Unfortunately the only vector graphics formats OOo supports are Windows (Extended) Metafile and our internal VCL based GDIMetafile format. I assume that the latter is not possible for non-VCL applications, so if you can't provide a Windows Metafile I'm afraid that you must use a pixel graphic format (like png). I hope that we will have graphic import filters for Tiny SVG in the near future so that we no longer need the proprietary formats. The other thing that creates a problem is dispensable, it depends on your goal for user experience. As explained above, embedded objects in OOo2.0 are not always loaded, they are loaded only when you activate them, e.g. by doubleclicking. Activation in general means that the object should present its user interface, mostly it will start an editing session. Now you can decide: if you want to edit your object like a plugin (we call it InPlace) you still might need OOo GUI components using the VCL C++ class library or the AWT package of our UNO API. If you are fine with Outplace editing (means: once your object is doubleclicked it will launch an external window where you can edit it) you don't need this. In your external window you don't need any OOo stuff.

I looked into dev guide (DevelopersGuide/Components/Components.htm#1+7+3+Add-Ons) but it hasnt given the way to write the handlers for these menu and toolbar actions... I'm not sure wether I understood your question completely, but I assume you want to know how you have to write your code to get it called from the Add-On menu and toolbar entries. When GUI elements in OOo are used to execute a function they look for so called Dispatch objects that implement the UNO interface com.sun.star.frame.XDispatch. Such objects are provided by so called Dispatch Provider objects implementing (usually amongst others) the interface com.sun.star.frame.XDispatchProvider. Dispatch Providers decide wether they can handle a command or not. In the case of Add-Ons the Dispatch Providers are called Protocol Handlers because they are responsible for a set of commands identified by their protocol. It's called protocol because it is syntactically identical with the protocol part of a URL. The Protocol Handler is registered at the OOo framework through a configuration file that tells the framework which handler is responsible for which protocol. To avoid name clashes the protocol(s) of each project should have a unique name usually enabled by a proper name space. So more or less you have to implement a Protocol Handler and its Dispatch objects. This is described in the DevGuide to a suitable extent IMHO. We are currently working on ways to ease this process. The idea is to have a code generator that automatically creates the Protocol Handler code an large parts of the Dispatch objects. But it will still take some weeks or months to deliver this in the necessary quality.

This is not a bug, the argument Author it not allowed here, so the

You don't get an exception (IoException is expected) because no suitable
exception is allowed here. The API was designed wrongly, but it's
unfortunately not possible to change it because this would break
existing code. So it's a bug, but it can be fixed only by introducing an
additional interface.

If it was reproducable it would be a bug.

Ditto. In both cases it's possible that the hanging office could be

The reason it takes so long to load is that the XML for each cell has to be parsed by OOo. Microsoft's xls format is a binary format - loading and saving are literally just memory moving operations. That's why they can open a file in 1 second - there's no processing involved at all - the contents of the file are simply dumped into memory, and that's that. I think that your analysis correctly describes why an XML based format will always be slower than a optimized binary format. OOo has some special problems here though, even with an XML format it could be much faster. This is something that is worked on with high priority. I've heard that Microsoft's XML format also has binary elements, so they'd also be getting performance benefits over OOo in cases where the format is binary. Lastly, Excel is most likely not checking the validity of each element of the file. Excels XML may contain some binary elements (e.g. embedded Word objects).

Re: [dev] Macro problem: Export all draw pages to SVG
Bernhard Haumacher wrote: Hi, I'm trying to write a macro that exports all pages in draw to separate SVG files using the page name as file name. Everything works, except the export to SVG (export to PNG or JPEG works fine) :-) When replacing aArgs(0).Name = MediaType aArgs(0).Value = image/png with aArgs(0).Name = MediaType aArgs(0).Value = image/svg+xml in the following code, only empty files are created. I also tried image/svg and svg as mime types. Can someone give me a hint? The MediaType seems to be correct, but it seems that you provide a wrong filter name when exporting to SVG. I don't know how the graphic export filters work, but a look into my configuration files shows me that the filter name for the SVG export filter is svg_Export. So you should at least change this. I don't know wether you must provide a filter name at all, your code example looks as if you don't do it for png. Perhaps it works without one for cvg also, just with the (correct) MediaType only. But it will definitely not work with a wrong filter name.

I really dont know. Filter development does not force you to compile any OOo source code at all. I don't know what you want to import (only text, some attributes or even more complex structures and elements), but in general a UNO based filter using the Writer API is a good option. Of course you must learn something about this API but AFAIK the SDK contains a simple example for a pure text import filter for Writer written in Java so you have at least a starting point how you can import the pure text, adding the formatting or other things can be done later.

I think you have a misconception how document conversion in OOo works. There is no direct translation between input and output format, input filters always convert the input format into a representation in memory (the core of a document) and the output filter converts this into the output format. If you think about this a little bit you will see that anything else doesn't make sense, at the end OOo is an application and not a conversion service: why should there be code that directly translates from e.g. doc to html? OOo itself doesn't need such code. So it will never make sense to isolate the filter code, you always also need the code of the document core also. Theoretically it is possible to take the code of the filters and the core and make it a smaller package but until now nobody needed something like this so very badly that he started the work to create such an environment. You will need a kind of an application anyway and you will need UNO and its bootstrapping, you will need some of the services in OOo used by the filters etc. So it's possible but quite some work to do and all you earn from the work to make it happen would be that you safe some MB on disk. Is that worth the effort? BTW: you don't need an *installed* version of OOo on your machine, it's enough to have a runnable *copy* (though in this case you have to create each UNO connection manually because your system doesn't provide a hint where the OOo installation is).

If you can set the protection via API you also can remove it this way (with e.g. a macro), but a protection against overwriting should be something you can't bypass. The only working way to prevent modifications on configuration entries by users is by adding the XML attribute 'oor:finalized=true' to the entry in the share layer of the configuration.

It is stored in a file and a macro, etc. could simply manipulate the relevant file and then force a reload of the configuration. It gets just more tedious. But that is unfortunate as it also disallows building administration tools upon our UNO services. Instead such tools have to manipulate the XML directly which is more prone to producing files our services can't read. Of course I assumed that there is no possible write access to the share directory so a direct file manipulation is not possible also. A manipulation of configuration data in a running OOo instance should never access anything in the share directory of OOo. My choice still would be to have an API in the configuration service like you want and disable it in OOo at runtime. OTOH the configuration service in an administrative tool with suitable access rights could provide this API access.

The view opened that way does not have any toolbars for scrolling, even if the document is not fully visible. Is that a bug? Do I have to do something special to get the toolbars to appear? Previews don't have scrollbars in OOo and a preview in OOo always has a fixed part of the document. I thought the Preview mode is the right choice because you wrote that you wanted a preview window. Obviously that's not the case. So I think that the only way to go is switching of the UI explicitly. First you should load the document in readonly mode and then you need to switch off the Layout Manager object of the frame you are loading the document into. The Layout Manager is a property of the frame that - surprise! ;-) - is named LayoutManager (IIRC). You can call lock() and setVisible(False) on it. This will remove all toolbar and the menu.

FAouzi Abderrahman wrote: // I search the equivalent to this line : (remark this line is not operational) fDocument.OnClose := CloseDocument // CloseDocument is a procedure will be called when I close the document OK, so you want to get a notification when the document is closed? In general there are three kinds of notifications that can handle this: (1) Listening for document events You can get a notification *before* the dialog asking for saving the document (if necessary) will appear and another notification immediately before the closing will happen. In both cases the document is still complete and you can do anything with it you like to do. But you can't intercept the closing procedure, it's only a passive notification. So this way of notification is useful if you don't want to intercept but still want to do something with the document when it is going to be closed. (2) Listening for disposal of the document When the document is closed successfully and before it can be removed from memory it sends a notification to all interested listeners that it is going to die and that all listeners must release their references to it. At that time you can't use any API of the document anymore, you will always produce a runtime exception when doing so. So this notification is useful when you just want to know that a document will vanish but don't need to intercept the closing procedure and don't need to do anything with the closing document. (3) Listening for close events OOo documents can be closed by calling their close() method. Here listeners can prevent the closing by throwing a suitable exception. This notification gives you the full control over the document, but are are not allowed to use any GUI elements in your listener. Unfortunately you can't do that because you are using the Automation Bridge that does not support exceptions. We are planning to offer a workaround for this in OOo2.0. Then you can install a locking service that prevents locking of a document as long as you tell it to do so. I hope that this gives you some hints about the direction you can go.

Is this simply an aesthetic change, or was there a serious problem with the previous icons? Just wondering why it's worth confusing users at a micro version change - usually these thing change only at major version increments. It was a big request of the developer community to integrate new features more often, preferrably in the next possible release. Reading your comment it seems you can't please everybody. sigh It also affects work on the documentation projects. Luckily the OOo2 user guide hasn't quite got as far as updating images yet - but it's very close - I believe GRS want's to link the icon images, but then there are the screenshot images to cope with. It may be a matter of getting used to them, but I thought the previous icons more clearly conveyed what they represent. People wanted the new icons because they are more like the ones they have on their desktop. I agree that the previous one are better and IIRC you can still use them. Choice is good. :-) Also, the Help - About window still shows OOo 2.0. This is a current issue because users are finding it difficult to describe which version they're using on the users lists. They're generally told to press an obscure key combination to display the build version and credits.

Usually the only sense that Writer/Web has is that it shouldn't offer anything that can not be stored into HTML. I thought that applies to OLE objects also. Obviously my memory fooled me, so sorry for the confusion. I still maintain the point that the OLE objects get lost on saving to HTML. Having them converted to graphics is a data loss because you can't edit them any longer. You can save your WebDocument to odt, yes, but then why using Writer/Web at all? As I wrote above, WriterWeb is just a Writer document with a reduced function set that should hinder users to add content to their documents that will get lost on saving them to HTML. So consequently inserting OLE shouldn't be possible in Writer/Web. If you wanted to add OLE objects and get them converted to graphics on HTML export you can use the normal Writer.

Mikhail Voitenko wrote: Hi Jean, The problems seems not to be reported till now. I have just submitted a new issue for the problem you have described: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=63440 The problem lies in documents created with OOo2.0.2. A fix will be available for 2.0.3. You will have to fix documents created with 2.0.2 though because the fix only can prevent the creation of further documents containing the error. Fortunately you can fix your documents already now and get the updating procedure back. Please do it in the following way: Load the document you want to fix, execute the following macro on it: Sub FixDocument TemplateName = ThisComponent.DocumentInfo.Template if TemplateName then ThisComponent.DocumentInfo.Template = TemplateName end if End Sub and then save the document. Next time when you open this document you will have the update from template feature back. This strange looking macro will set an internal switch in the document meta data that enables the template update procedure. BTW: the same macro will re-enable the update procedure in case you have switched it off by answering the question do you want to update your styles with No. You can execute this macro on every document if you want (e.g. by assigning it to the OnLoad event on application level), if the document is not based on a template it will not be modified by this macro.

Re: [dev] Draw ideas
Werner Schulte wrote: In can create the layered figure, name the single objects and find that objects in the content.xml file, which can be extracted from my application easy. The only thing I am missing is the fact, that I would need to add some kind of meta data to each object, which can be used for filtering during runtime. Whould that be a big goal to implement that, e.g. provide a Object-MetaData context menu and allow to fill in one or more meta information fields, which then are stored into the odg file ? Meta data in ODF files is stored in the meta.xml stream, in a simplified description they are name/value pairs. Since OOo2.0 you can add your own meta data to this stream with arbitrary names and a wide range of possible types. So a possible way to implement your feature is using the object name as a namespace and use objectname.dataname as the names of your meta data properties. There is a simple API to add, set and retrieve such data, of course it is a little bit cumbersome to retrieve all meta data for only one object. You can use Basic or Java to create a dialog working with this meta data. So this is a way how it could be done, but maybe there is a better or smarter one. In case you don't get further answers here please try the dev@graphics.openoffice.org mailing list because that's the place where the Draw specialists can be met with a higher probability than here.

If anyone knows of a better forum in which to post this, please tell me. The issue: System: Linux (LFS) OOo version: 2.0.0rc3, 2.0.2 I wish to prevent users from altering their OOo directories (~/.openoffice.org2) and from saving files in them. To that end, I supply a user with a ready-made '~/.openoffice.org2', and disallow any write-access to it and its contents. A problem occures when I edit a file (.odt, .ods), save it, and then exit OOo: After exiting I get the following pop-up dialog: 'Error saving the document: user-home-dir/.openoffice.org2/user/basic/script.xlc/ General Error. Genereal input/output error.' When I press 'OK', it repeats, only with 'dialog.xlc' instead of 'script.xlc'. Apparently, OOo tries to replace those two files with something of its own making, so placing ready-made files is not an option. Does anyone know of a way to go around this, either by means of configuring the already-installed OOo, or by means of altering the source-code/installation process? ATM it is not possible to run OOo without write access to its user profile without getting runtime errors that at least cause an error message. I even wouldn't exclude crashes.
