Hello,
I am testing XWiki (2.1.1, PostgreSQL, XP SP3) for our organisation and I am
running into some problems with the office import feature. The document and
am trying to import is an odt document with one line. This is the stack
trace I get :
8-Feb-2010 4:05:09 PM net.sf.jodconverter.office.OfficeConnection connect

I have checked that i18npool.uno.dll is on my system and it is at the

Hi,
As you have understood it seems the problem is with your OOo installation.
Can you try removing your existing OOo installation and installing the
latest version from http://www.openoffice.org? This will most probably fix
the issue.

Hi Asiri,
I currently use the latest version of OO (3.1.1 Build 9420). What else
can I check ?
Thanks

Well, you can try un-installing openoffice and reinstalling. But I doubt
this will help.
Next thing you can try is use jodconverter directly and try to convert your
document from odt to html.
Here is the link:
http://code.google.com/p/jodconverter/
How to use it:
http://code.google.com/p/jodconverter/wiki/GettingStarted
If the command-line conversion fails for your document, then the error
should probably be reported to jodconverter users list.
Thanks.

Hi Asiri,
I am a little confused by the quality of XWiki 2.1.1. At this point I
find that there are many features that don't work properly or at all :
- Office plugin (the office 2007 ribbon has a very buggy behavior)
- Document import (There is no documentation about version
compatibility between the different elements)
- Usage with SQL Server 2005 is impossible. Works fine with PostgreSQL though.
I can't continue testing such a product. To bad, it looked very good.
Best Regards

I have to agree that documentation isn't one of XWiki's strongest assets.
However I've been using the document import feature on several XE 2.1.1
instances where it works just fine thus I'm pretty sure you can make it work
too. Asiri suggested several steps to debug, have you tried following them?

Is SQL Server 2005 a hard requirement? Which errors do you meet? Would you
agree to report those errors on http://jira.xwiki.org/ ? Do you need XWiki
to work with a product released 5 years ago that much? What's not enough it
works fine with PostgreSQL?
I can't continue testing such a product. To bad, it looked very good.
It is and your feedback could help us make it that much better. I'd be very
happy if you were to agree to reconsider your current stance and give a
little of your time to the community in order to help us make XWiki fit your
needs.

Asiri :
With such a statement, one might think that it is difficult to setup
in order to need commercial support :-)
Guillaume :
As much as I agree that user feedback is crucial to a project's
quality, 2.1.1 is a production release not a rc or beta so such
problems should not occur. As we are looking for an immediate usage, I
can't see myself going to management with such visible features not
working. Nevertheless, in the next few days I will document the
encountered problems on your bug tracking system.

As much as I agree that user feedback is crucial to a
project's
quality, 2.1.1 is a production release not a rc or beta so such
problems should not occur. As we are looking for an immediate usage, I
can't see myself going to management with such visible features not
working. Nevertheless, in the next few days I will document the
encountered problems on your bug tracking system.
I see. Indeed, given your short deployment timeframe recommending XWiki
would be a bit risky. When do you plan to put your new collaboration
solution in production? Anyway, thanks for taking the time to provide us
with your feedback, I'm looking forward to your additions to JIRA.
I'd be interested in knowing which piece of software you'll be using instead
of XWiki and which feature made you choose it instead of XWiki (besides the
issues listed above obviously).
Guillaume

Hi Asiri,

can I check ?
Well, you can try un-installing openoffice and reinstalling. But I doubt
this will help.
Next thing you can try is use jodconverter directly and try to convert your
document from odt to html.
Here is the link:

If the command-line conversion fails for your document, then the error

Hi,
As you have understood it seems the problem is with your OOo
installation.
Can you try removing your existing OOo
installation and installing the
latest version from http://www.openoffice.org? This will most probably
fix
the issue.

Hi Florin,
I have checked the latest version and french accents work well. I
might add that the fix was done very quickly.
My Windows XP regional setting is set to English-Ca, all my
applications are in english but we communicate in french ;-). In the
next few days, I will reinstall XWiki with the latest XOffice plugin
and document the problems on your tracking system.

Hi Simon,
Some words from a long-time user of XWiki ...
I think the issues you encountered might be linked also to the fact that
these features rely on external tools (oo, ms office...), and also they are
quite "recent" in xwiki history. So for sure, all integration issues might
not have been encountered / fixed already.
Of course if you need mainly these features, it might be a problem, but with
some fixes there is no reason they won't work.
For the rest, I must say that on the other side, and even with some (known)
flaws, xwiki is not comparable to other wikis I know. No one offers such
liberty and customization possibilities. I use it for some years now at work
(since v0.9) and migrated regularly to last versions, and progression is
incredible, in terms of features and usability. A good basis is now in
place, and I think not much is needed to have a nearly perfect tool :)
But, again, this tool might need some involvement in order to get its best,
even if it's more and more "plug & play".
I'll take an example, in my office we use a specific configuration
management tool very uncommon, and that is integrated with nothing else. In
wiki I could very easily create some macros to help users create links on
various sources, reports and such in this scm tool. The wysiwyg editor works
really well now, and the new macro displays in a dialog with parameters I
defined, though I didn't code anything for the display. This is really
helpful and really easy to put in place. I don't know much other tools, but
I don't think you can do this kind of thing so easily... For now I did not
install oO server for office import though, but I plan to.
Best regards,
Jeremie

I see your point but I wasn't expecting that much involvement ;-) BTW,
as you speak of customization, I was wondering how to hide the "Import

We are still working on an application manager that allows you to install /
uninstall whole apps. But for the moment you can delete XWiki.OfficeImporter
page and the menu item will dissapear.

With the latest XE version (2.2RC1 or even better 2.2RC2 being released right now, will be
avail in 2-3 hours) if the office importer page (XWiki.OfficeImporter) is not present the
menu item will not be shown. So you can rename that page or delete it (you'd then need
to reimport the officeimporter XAR later on if you want it again in this case).
Of course you can also customize the menu vm files to define the rules you want.

With the latest XE version (2.2RC1 or even better 2.2RC2 being released right now, will
be avail in 2-3 hours) if the office importer page (XWiki.OfficeImporter) is not present
the menu item will not be shown. So you can rename that page or delete it (you'd then
need to reimport the officeimporter XAR later on if you want it again in this case).
Of course you can also customize the menu vm files to define the rules you want.

Hi,
Just to end this thread, I upgraded to OpenOffice 3.2.0 from 3.1.1 and
after creating the missing directory
(http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XAOFFICE-44), import-export works
fine. Great !!!

Glad to see you stick with XWiki long enough to put the effort needed to
make things work fine... Now you'll be rewarded for your patience ;-)
Looking forward to more useful feedback about XWiki,
Guillaume

I wonder if these issues are caused by lack of admin privileges (looks like
file permission issues). Do you have admin privileges on the xp machine you
are testing on? Anyway, I'll do some tests on a XP SP3 machine to verify
these claims asap.

XWord). I do not know why I feel so reluctant to test XE on windows..

Hi Asiri,
I have admin privileges on my machine but if it might be a lock on the
file... I might have had OO already running for file edition and if
that process was using a file need by the OO server that would
probably explain dll loading problem.
Just in case, I restarted the OO server on XWiki after lauching an OO
instance to edit some random file and the import still works fine.
Thanks for your input.
