Hi Ramon,
Asiri, when the web service mode turns available on next versions of
PS: Notice the huge overhead in transferring documents and results up and
down to / from the machine running openoffice server, but this is inevitable
if you plan to run openoffice server remotely.
JODConverter, will it be possible to use it in
XWiki, in the way to have
OpenOffice and XWiki on different servers? I'm so interested on it because
in our company here, it's not (and I believe it won't be) possible to share
our production container server with an openoffice instance (policy
restrictions higher than we can deal), and we do have a dedicated openoffice
server up and running, on another machine, for other applications. We're
running XE2.4.3 without Office Importer functionalities and the main reason
to upgrade to the last version, among others, would be the opportunity
window do activate this amazing feature, what would substantially boost our
XWiki experience.
Aren't there any possibilities or approaches in the short term, at all?
I think I proposed one possible alternative sometime back:
1. On the machine you are running openoffice server, you'll have to setup a
tomcat server and a small servlet. This servlet will take care of converting
office documents into html and zipping them up (because the conversion could
result in multiple artifacts) and streaming them back to the client who
invoked the servlet.
2. Modify officeimporter codebase so that OfficeConverter (IIRC) now
instead consumes this servlet for document conversion instead of the local
openoffice server.
IMO this solution is not that hard to implement but as I remember nobody
commented on this approach back then.
Thanks.
- Asiri
Thanks in advance for your precious help.

Hi,
Is it possible to use an external OpenOffice
Server that is not on the
same machine as the XWiki instance, i.e., not local? If
so, how can I do
that? If not, can't I even test this possibility? External local one is
running in my test place, but in production environment this probably won't
be the case.
We're using http://code.google.com/p/jodconverter/ to connect to the
OpenOffice server and convert office documents. Here's a discussion
regarding your problem on their google group, raised by Asiri, the
person who wrote the xwiki-office-importer module:
http://groups.google.com/group/jodconverter/browse_thread/thread/f4f0e8328d…
.
Using a remote OpenOffice server had some limitations at that point.
Maybe you can check if the latest version of jodconverter was improved
in this direction.
Hope this helps,
Marius
I'm using XE 2.7.1 and I'll test also XE 3.0M3.
