Hi,
The remote server is the right approach. I've been thinking for a while
that we should propose a server hosted by XWiki that would do that and
give installations instructions for those wanting to run such a server
internally.
You should build a very nice simple REST api for this server.

Hi,
I want to develop a component to handle office documents in xwiki. As we
discussion before, I want to use openoffice api. I set a openoffice develop
environment in my pc running ubuntu 8.04, and learn how to use openoffice
api. Yes, The oo sdk is powerful to address office documents, MS doc, MS
excel...
But there's a problem. AFAIK, openoffice api need a openoffice local runtime
or a remote server running openoffice. The whole openoffice runtime is 356M,
more or less, so we shouldn't contain it in xwiki release. Hense, I think if
we want the office importer run in a computer, the computer should have
installed openoffice or configurate a remote openoffice server.
WDYT?
I need some suggestion.
Thanks.
