<br>> Locating a native library loaded by a Java jar is typically done using
<br>> relative path entries in the jar manifest Class-Path. Resolving a
<br>> relative path relative to a symlink can obviously have different
<br>> results, depending on whether or not the symlink is resolved.

<br>classes/methods were properply loaded, except those JNI methods. I don't
<br>know why it is like that and if that is needed or a missing feature from
<br>classloaders/infrastructure.
<br>> However, setting up infrastructure so that a (copied?) officebean.jar
<br>> finds its dependency jars will always be brittle and will likely break
<br>> with new OOo versions. What confuses me is that you need such
<br>> infrastructure at all.
<br>I did in all tests use the original officebean.jar from OOo installation
<br>since it's the same folder structure under windows with <OO
<br>Installation>/basis-link/program/classes/officebean.jar whereas
<br>basis-link is resolved by my setup in Windows and just used under linux
<br>as is.
<br>But only using officebean.jar did result in missing classes since as you
<br>stated the Class-Path is empty. So I had to get the other jars in my
<br>Class-Path. My first solution was to refer to them with symbolic links
<br>to get rid of all platform dependent folder structures. (Don't know if
<br>Solaris or any other systems have again different structures so I didn't
<br>want to bother with creating xx versions of my original jar with
<br>different manifest files.) Instead I did want to edit the setup file for
<br>different folder structures.
<br>I don't know if it is intended that the Class-Path of officebean.jar is
<br>empty or if it's simply a bug. I'd say it's a missing feature at least
<br>;) But maybe Jochen can enligthen us both.
<br>> If the latter (a copy of officebean.jar located outside the OOo
<br>> installation), I wonder whether that is an intended way to use the
<br>> bean, and, if it is, could mention a stable way to obtain from an OOo
<br>> installation a list of jars (with absolute path) that are necessary in
<br>> order to use Java UNO. Namely, calling executable "unoinfo" in the
<br>> brand layer program directory with argument "java" (i.e.,
<br>> "openoffice.org3/program/unoinfo java") and processing its output (as
<br>> done by the Simple Bootstrap mechanism), see

<br>That seems to be a nice way of getting what I need. I'll take a deeper
<br>look into it when there's more freetime.
<br>> Anyway, maybe I misunderstand how officebean.jar is intended to be
<br>> used, Jochen (on cc) probably can put me straight.
<br>Please answer/copy the answer on the mailing list Jochen.

<br>> To follow established expectations on the various platforms, and, in
<br>> some cases, due to technical necessities of the various platforms. In
<br>> principle, on all platforms there are three layers (URE, Basis, Brand)
<br>> at potentially arbitrary positions (even relative to each other).
<br>> Within the URE layer, one difference among platforms is that Windows
<br>> has both executables and libraries in bin, while Unix has libraries in
<br>> lib. Another difference is that, since recently, Windows shifted
<br>> virtually all libraries from the Basis program to the Brand program
<br>> directory.
<br>Thanks for the info on that.
<br>> OOoBean tries to connect to soffice via a named pipe, which requires
<br>> native code in libjpipe.so being called from jurt.jar. I assume that
<br>> some Java error occurs failing to load that native lib which would be
<br>> swallowed by the "catch ( java.lang.Throwable aExc )" at OOoBean.java
<br>> l. 184. I suggest you patch OOoBean.java to include
<br>> "aExc.printStackTrace();" before "throw new NoConnectionException();"
<br>> to give more information.
<br>I patched OOoBean.java (and to a minor extent PipeConnection.java) and
<br>it seems you were right on this one. It's failing at the method
<br>createJNI(String) with "xxx_25B7Office" as parameter.
<br><br>After looking deeper into the subject I decided to test if my
<br>referencing to jurt.jar and the others.
<br>Indeed there was the problem.
<br><br>Since the folder structure under Linux and Windows were different I
<br>decided to fix it with symbolic links. It works fine for all loading
<br>jars, but seems to cause trouble if a jar needs JNI functions.
<br>I referenced with a new manifest file to the original locations instead
<br>of symbolic links and it works just fine :)
<br><br>Don't know why symbolic links can not be used since they are referring
<br>to the same node but anyway. It works, and that's what counts for the
<br>customers ;)
<br><br>Thank you for pointing me to the right direction Stephan and if you know
<br>why exactly it's not functioning with links I would like to know that :)
<br><br>Regards,
<br><br>Steffen B

<br><br>it seems that you are under Linux and you are probably using a non
<br>official OpenOffice.org build because the official OOo doesn't include
<br>the mono support.
<br><br>If you encounter problems with C# under Linux you should contact the

<br><br>It is difficult to answer questions that is related to code that we

<br><br>All those weak reference Level2Entry entries are invalid, the condition

<br><br>I'm having a strange problem that affects only certain versions of ooo 3.1.1
<br><br>In practice, having a listbox model, if you set the SelectedItems
<br>property, on some ooo version the itemStateChanged event of the ListBox
<br>is raised.
<br><br>The problem does not affect OOo vanilla version (sun build) but affects
<br>the ooo packaged from Ubuntu.
<br><br>you can test with the code below (you'll need to prepare a simple dialog
<br>with a listbox before)
<br><br><br>Now, my question is:
<br>what is the correct behaviour:
<br>OOo by sun: the event is NOT raised if you modify the selection from the
<br>model but it is raised if the user modify the selection manually.
<br><br>OOo Ubuntu 9.10: the event is alwais raised
<br><br>IMHO the first is correct or at least is the most used, because I have
<br>never observed the second in old ooo versions.
<br><br>thanks

<br><br>I finished my project under Windows and since it's all written in Java I
<br>wanted to try it under linux.
<br>Several errors that occured (Sidenote: Why is the folder structure of OO
<br>installation directory different under linux compared to windows??)
<br>could be fixed but one is persistent:
<br>I always get a NoConnectionException under Linux, whereas under Windows
<br>everything goes fine.
<br>For testing purposes I checked OO Connection before loading from Stream:
<br><br> aBean = new OOoBean();
<br> try
<br> {
<br> aBean.getOOoConnection();
<br> }
<br> catch (NoConnectionException e1)
<br> {
<br> e1.printStackTrace();
<br> }

<br> at de.abas.macro.AbasEditor.<init>(AbasEditor.java:112)
<br><br>I think the rest of the stacktrace is not important.
<br>I did setup all needed external jars in the manifest file
<br>(ridl.jar,juh.jar.jurt.jar,sandbox.jar,officebean.jar,unoil.jar) and
<br>they are properly loaded.
<br><br>Executing "soffice" is also working if executed from the shell. So the
<br>com.sun.star.comp.beans.LocalOfficeConnection.OfficeService.startupService()
<br>doesn't throw an error.
<br><br>I don't understand, why it is able to execute under Windows with the
<br>above "setup" (external jars, environment variables UNO_PATH) and why it
<br>is not loading under linux.
<br><br>I'm out of available options (for me) since I read through every
<br>relevant source code of OOBean several times but I don't see what I'm
<br>doing wrong here.
<br><br>Any help/hint would be great.

<br>>
<br>> I have no idea how to do this, and have not found examples that I

<br>> mean I should use UDP rather than TCP? Below is my current output
<br>> routine. I would be grateful for suggestions on how to convert or
<br>> replace it.
<br>>
</div><br>I have no idea whether socket communications can be done in OOoBasic.
<br>But I would know how to create a small Windows application that can read
<br>a string from a file and send it to a port on a given IP address. You
<br>can then use SHELL() from OOoBasic to run that application when you need
<br>to update the display. This should be fast enough since you are using it
<br>for something equivalent to subtitles on TV.
<br><br>But first you should get communications going with the LED display. Try
<br>doing "telnet 10.10.10.1 10001" where 10.10.10.1 is the IP address of
<br>the display. I then believe you should be able to see the text you write
<br>on the LED display. If that works for you I can help you with a
<br>dedicated application for sending strings. Feel free to write to me in
<br>private at the address "jan <at> jan-holst.dk".

<br><br>My next step is to send the data to the display device instead of disc
<br>file. The instruction I have from the device manufacturer is -
<br><br>"Use a socket component and transmit the data string to port 10001 on
<br>the IP address of the display device."
<br><br>I have no idea how to do this, and have not found examples that I
<br>understand. The display only listens and does not respond - does that
<br>mean I should use UDP rather than TCP? Below is my current output
<br>routine. I would be grateful for suggestions on how to convert or
<br>replace it.

</div>sure i totally agree but it is as it is at the moment. I don't see that
<br>we be able to make the big shot. The only thing we can do is to improve
<br>the available controls step by step and can try to improve the overall
<br>usability. This includes hopefully a layout manager some day ;-)
