Hi Mirko,
Great to see you on the XWiki list.
I have a few questions about JODConverter..
- I see you already have a web service. How about a nice REST api for
that web service, including username/password ?
- Are you handling a conversion queue ?
- How do you handle OO not coming back from the conversion or crashing ?
- Do you have caching of your conversions ?

Hi all,
I'd certainly be happy to add XWiki to the list of other open source
projects that use JODConverter and provide suggestions if needed.
I see you mention xhtml... well the OOo xhtml filter is quite limited
currently. For one it doesn't export embedded images[1]. But it's going to
see big improvements with OOo 3.0.
You may also be interested to know that there's a new major version of
JODConverter[2] in development.
Cheers
Mirko

Cool ! I'm glad I could be of help ! Mirko
will be happy to know you are
working with his code. Putting him on copy.

Thanks Luis,
This is indeed exactly what we need.. a web service and a java API at
the same time
Wang you should use this.. expose it as an XWiki plugin with a
configuration option to run embed or connect to an existing web service.
My idea is that we ship XWiki configured by default to talk to a server
that we would host on our platform.

Hi everyone,
Sorry to pop in, but I imagine you are aware of Mirko's JODConverter and
JODReports:
http://www.artofsolving.com/
If not I thought it might be useful in the context of your discussion.
His
code is used by Nuxeo, Alfresco, and others and
is very simple to use.
JODCOnverter plugs into OO running in server mode.
Good luck,
Luis
