I am working on converting html to doc thru java program. I have an html which is already fully formated . i got to export this as an doc file .any info on this would of help and if so some sample impl .

Hey, it's very bad practice not to tell what you want. Be specific about what you want done and how. Don't leave people guessing - that's wasting their time. They might say: "Open the file in Writer and save it as .doc."

I am working on converting html to doc thru java program.

Try this threads:
- Java: Using the Bootstrap Connection Mechanism: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/ ... =44&t=1013
- Java: Using the Interprocess Connection Mechanism: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/ ... =44&t=1014

But use another save filter, like "MS WinWord 6.0", instead of "writer_pdf_Export". Change

Code: Select all

conversionProperties[0].Value = "writer_pdf_Export";

to

Code: Select all

conversionProperties[0].Value = "MS WinWord 6.0";

Or try the filter list, if you need another conversion: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wik ... st_OOo_2_1

HI ,

I am almost there with the suggestion gave ... on converting html to doc ..
but life does not seems to be easy with this ...

here goes ....

Note :html2doc this is written in java program to run on a webserver .

If my from input url i.e loadurl is locally (hard disc) stored . the program is able to store properly .

but when the input url is an weburl i.e http://xyz.com . my program is not able to store .. wondering what is the problem .

will attach the code in the next post ... for check ..

any inputs are highly appreciated .

This works ...
public static void bootstrap() {


String loadUrl = "file:///c:/dev/netbeans/oootest/viewtopic.php.htm";
// String loadUrl = "http://www.google.com";
String storeUrl = "file:///c:/dev/netbeans/oootest/mydocoutputboot.doc";

try {
XComponentContext xContext = Bootstrap.bootstrap();
XMultiComponentFactory xMultiComponentFactory = xContext.getServiceManager();
XComponentLoader xcomponentloader = (XComponentLoader) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XComponentLoader.class, xMultiComponentFactory.createInstanceWithContext("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop", xContext));

PropertyValue[] conversionProperties = new PropertyValue[2];
conversionProperties[0] = new PropertyValue();
conversionProperties[0].Name = "FilterName";
conversionProperties[0].Value = "MS Word 97";

conversionProperties[1] = new PropertyValue();
conversionProperties[1].Name = "Hidden";
conversionProperties[1].Value = new Boolean(true);

// Object objectDocumentToStore = xcomponentloader.loadComponentFromURL(loadUrl, "_blank", 1, new PropertyValue[0]);
Object objectDocumentToStore = xcomponentloader.loadComponentFromURL(loadUrl, "_blank", 1, conversionProperties);


XStorable xstorable = (XStorable) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XStorable.class, objectDocumentToStore);
// xstorable.storeToURL(storeUrl,conversionProperties);
xstorable.storeToURL(storeUrl, conversionProperties);
// Getting the method dispose() for closing the document
// XComponent xcomponent =
// ( XComponent ) UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XComponent.class,
// xstorable );
System.exit(0);
}
catch (java.lang.Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
System.exit(0);
}

}


and this does not ...

OK - I don't use Java per se, but I do recall seeing a discussion before where the problem ended up being the hidden property - have you tried this with the document window not being hidden?

[codewriter]

Hi Thanks,

Yes i tried that too . But it doesn't seems to be working .

Problem: Loading HTML with OOo creates a Writer/Web document and NOT a Writer document. For that reason, you cannot use the com.sun.star.text.TextDocument filters, you have to use the com.sun.star.text.WebDocument filters.

Here is an example of working Java code using the Bootstrap Connection Mechanism to load a HTML page and store it as HTML and PDF:

Code: Select all

package oootest;

import com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue;
import com.sun.star.comp.helper.Bootstrap;
import com.sun.star.frame.XComponentLoader;
import com.sun.star.frame.XStorable;
import com.sun.star.lang.XMultiComponentFactory;
import com.sun.star.uno.UnoRuntime;
import com.sun.star.uno.XComponentContext;

public class BootstrapConnectionWebToHtmlAndPdfQuickAndDirty {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        // Loading HTML creates a Writer/Web document! It does NOT create a Writer document!
        String loadUrl      = "http://www.xyz.com";

        // Store web page as HTML and PDF
        String storeUrlHtml = "file:///c:/dev/netbeans/oootest/xyz.html";
        String storeUrlPdf  = "file:///c:/dev/netbeans/oootest/xyz.pdf";

        try {
            XComponentContext xContext = Bootstrap.bootstrap();
            XMultiComponentFactory xMultiComponentFactory = xContext.getServiceManager();
            XComponentLoader xcomponentloader = (XComponentLoader) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XComponentLoader.class,xMultiComponentFactory.createInstanceWithContext("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop", xContext));

            Object objectDocumentToStore = xcomponentloader.loadComponentFromURL(loadUrl, "_blank", 0, new PropertyValue[0]);

            // Sometimes loading from the web needs some time.
            // 4000 waits for 4 seconds. Try different settings.
            Thread.sleep(4000);

            XStorable xstorable = (XStorable) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XStorable.class,objectDocumentToStore);

            // Filter names are listed at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Framework/Article/Filter/FilterList_OOo_2_1
            PropertyValue[] conversionProperties = new PropertyValue[1];
            conversionProperties[0] = new PropertyValue();
            conversionProperties[0].Name = "FilterName";

            // Store Writer/Web document as HTML
            conversionProperties[0].Value = "HTML";
            xstorable.storeToURL(storeUrlHtml,conversionProperties);

            // Store Writer/Web document as PDF
            conversionProperties[0].Value = "writer_web_pdf_Export";
            xstorable.storeToURL(storeUrlPdf,conversionProperties);
        }
        catch (java.lang.Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        finally {
            System.exit(0);
        }
    }    
}

Hol.stein,

Well, I am sure the OP will appreciate that example and I know I do - this will help with a project I have on the drawing board immensely. Thanks.

[codewriter]

Hi Thanks very much,

Now I have used writer_web_StarOffice_XML_Writer to store it as .doc file .

I still have one issue , where the images are not seems to be embeded into the doc file while it loads from the weburl . Can i embed the avilable images from html page into the generated doc file some how .
the reason is , this generated output file will be used offline also , where there is no internet connections available .

regards,

[sarath]

U might try this To embedd images in the doc itself using java

[kunal14]

if html is in string format like "<html>...</html>", then how to convert it to doc
