  1. POhow to use MS Office with proprietary java back-end document system
    text
    copied!<p>Currently I have a document system that launches documents in Star Office or LibreOffice in an iframe.</p> <p>Moving to the future I ideally want to retain the document system I have but integrate this into SharePoint so as to enable us to open and edit documents using MS Office.</p> <p>As there is no Java Api to integrate with MS Office this is why I have chosen to go with SharePoint.</p> <p>I can manage to get my documents to load from a link on a sharepoint page but then comes the hard part of manipulating the save features in MS Office and ensuring that my document doesn't get saved in sharepoint.</p> <p>Has anyone done anything similar.</p> <p>Basically I just want to use MS Office to interact with my documents without storing things in sharepoint. So I need to get access to the save functions etc.</p> <p>As far as I see Apache POI is not a viable solution as it doesn't physically open the document and allow user to click file -> save. My understanding is that it can manipulate documents by manipulating them in code but can't use any of the controls in office.</p> <p>I've read here <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb462633(v=office.12).aspx?cs-save-lang=1&amp;cs-lang=vb#code-snippet-2" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb462633(v=office.12).aspx?cs-save-lang=1&amp;cs-lang=vb#code-snippet-2</a> that you can repurpose the commands in office and modify the ribbon?</p> <p>Thanks for any advice</p> <p>It appears it is possible with WOPI and Office Web Apps. Basically needing to create a WOPI application</p>
