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. Ludovic Wang Ning wrote:
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.
