Additionnal installation to install OpenOffice on a remote server

To request OpenOffice from a remote server, a web service has to be deployed on the same server as OpenOffice. The web service is provided by a J2EE webapp. You may either use the webapp embedded in a Tomcat unzipping jodconverter-tomcat-2.2.0.zip (make sure a convenient JDK is installed and JAVA_HOME is configured), or deploy the webapp jodconverter-webapp-2.2.0.zip in your favorite J2EE app server.

If you wan't to restrict the acces to the web service, you have to do this with a firewall. The web service does not provide restriction for a IP range.

1. Install a JDK 1.5
2. Download jodconverter-tomcat-2.2.0.zip
3. Unzip jodconverter-tomcat-2.2.0.zip
4. Start the web service with jodconverter-tomcat-2.2.0/bin/startup.bat or jodconverter-tomcat-2.2.0/bin/startup.sh
5. Add the following property in WEB-INF/data/custom.prop and restart JCMS.
