Hi all,
I'm looking for a good solution to create reports from several programs. Can I use the openoffice sdk to do this?
What I need is a solution with which it is possible to create reports as editable and non-editable files.
Thanks in advance,
Alexander |

That should be possible.

For non-editable files you can export the report as PDF.
For editable files you can export the report as OXW or DOC for example.
Both can be accomplished with Java without the sdk. In this case you need the sdk only for the very important OOo Development Guide http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/DevelopersGuide.htm.
Alternatively you can open the editable files directly with the so called OfficeBean. For this you find an example in the OOo sdk.
With kind regards

Hi,
Thx for the reply.
I'm trying to run some examples from the SDK but get the following error: com.sun.star.comp.helper.BootstrapException: no office executable found!
Where does this error come from?

No idea, because I don't use the SDK examples. Only guesses:
- You have OOo not installed?
- Something is wrong with your SDK installation?
- Your OOo was not start or it was not in listen mode?
- Your OOo (perhaps 1.9.104) and your SDK (perhaps 1.1.x) don't fit together? Which OOo version, SDK version, and operating system are you using?
With kind regards

Running some other examples from the sdk works, so I guess the sdk installation is ok.

When is OOo started? If the quickstart app is running is OOo started? And if not, how do I get it in listen mode?

Using OOo 1.9.104, the 2.0 SDK on WinXP-SP1
Thx for the help,

No. Then you have only the quickstarter running.

Read http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/FirstSteps/FirstSteps.htm#1+3+Getting+Started Section 2.3.3 Configuration: Make the office listen.

Have you tried OOo 1.1.4 with 1.0 SDK? The 2.0 branch is still beta...
With kind regards

Thx, this makes it work.
Now I will try to create some reports I need to have. Perhaps you can help me out with one more thing for now: I need to create reports that have an unknown/dynamic number of lines in it. Is using a bookmark the best way to insert these lines in the template? Or is there something that can handle recursion?
Again thx,
Alexander |

I myself use bookmarks and they suffice for what I need.
