Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 82692
deploying a uno_package in a odt document
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:31:19 UTC
I realized a Java uno_package to access a web service so that inside the document I can retrieve a list to populate the combobox dynamically. The problem is that I need to deploy the uno_package.zip to openoffice before the document can access the service from scriptbasic. This means that every person that want to use the document (that is an empty module to be used by many people) has to install a package, an operation not easy to many users. It could be really usefull to be able to deploy the component inside the document (like a macro itself) so that there will be no need to install anything. Do not know if there is a workaround to the problem, but found no documentation about it. Thanks Luca
Hi Luca, I see and understand your use case. IMHO it fits nicely to an overall "construction kit" approach for OOo, though I don't know yet, when and how we are going to approach this. I hope it is OK for you, that we keep this issue open as a feature request for further improvement and generalization. Regards Kay
It's OK for me. I believe that if could be possible to teach OO to look inside a document registry and could be possibile to deploy inside a document the things could be done. Obviously doing so could be a performance hog (having a distributed registry). In any case let's let it open. Thanks Luca
->Kai: I think this is a programmability feature, so please take care of this ... ;-)
Accepted, target 3.x (for now).
