 Posted: Tue Feb 10, 2009 2:12 pm Post subject: Call Open Office API from ASP.NET |
 |
|
Has any one had any success doing this? I keep getting "Access Denied". And when I add "ASPNET" and "NETWORK SERVICE" (the app pool user) to the administrators group It just freezes on the "CreateInstance" call. I opened up sysinternals File Monitor and Reg monitor and found no "access denieds" in either. I also went through dcomcnfg and added permissions on 'OpenOffice.org 1.1 Text Document'
Code:
| Code: | Type i_svc_manager = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("com.sun.star.ServiceManager");
Object l_obj_instance = Activator.CreateInstance(i_svc_manager); |
Error:
| Code: | | Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {82154420-0FBF-11D4-8313-005004526AB4} failed due to the following error: 80070005 |

I didn't get that point from your post. And even I would have got it, I still would have recommended the above mentioned link

My knowledge of Microsoft technologies is very limited. Anyway, perhaps I'm not totally wrong assuming that ASP is in some ways similar to Java's JSP (Java Server Pages). If so, I never would try to connect from an ASP to OOo! In a web application it is possible to open the same JSP simultaneously from several browsers. If I would embed in such a JSP to open a connection to OOo, it would result in opening several connections at the same time. That is a very bad idea! Instead, needing a web application to create some documents through using OOo, I would (and I had) write a service in Java (because that's the programming language I'm familiar with) and call that service from my JSP. So it would be the task of the service to get one connection to OOo and serialize all parallel calls from the JSP. Is something like that possible for you, too? You write a "console app" which waits for calls from an ASP? Let the "console app" handle one connection to OOo and let it act as a service serializing all parallel calls from the ASP. What do you think? If I'm totally wrong, let me know in which way you intend to use OOo from your ASP.

Thank you very much for your clarification, but your post didn't sound angry to me. |

The intent is a webservice that would convert an ms word document into a pdf. It would be great to have it set up to handle multiple connections at once, but for my needs the frequency at which the service would be called I don't need to worry about that yet. You are very correct in assuming asp is like php. Its the very same concept (server side code execution)
I think the problem I'm having is permissions. So even if I were to create such a console app I suspect I would still hit the same issue. |
