How to enable UNO services through Script on other platforms except Windows?
Hi,
I'm trying to connect to AOO and calling some UNO services by a script. I
found a solution about
Automation_Bridge<http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/ProUNO/Bridge/Automation_Bridge>and
it works for me, but it can only be used on Windows, due to the COM
implementation dependency.
Does anybody know is there any method that I can run a script to control
AOO remotely on other platforms, like Linux or Mac?
thanks!
Ke Jia

In addition to the scripting languages Jürgen pointed out you may also use the scripting languages
that come also with AOO like JavaScript and BeanShell.
If you are in the "Lotus corner" you might be acquainted with the Rexx (IBM's original SAA scripting
language) and/or the opensource Open Object Rexx (http://www.ooRexx.org) scripting language. The
Windows implementation of ooRexx supports COM/OLE/ActiveX and allows you to access e.g. Lotus Notes
via the COM interfaces (transcribing the Lotus script code).
You can get at a cross-platform solution to interface with Lotus Notes and with AOO from ooRexx by
adding the BSF4ooRexx package (https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4oorexx/), which allows one to
exploit any Java bridges (to Notes or to AOO) with the syntax and ease of the ooRexx scripting
languages. The camouflaging support of BSF4ooRexx turns Java conceptually into the interpreted,
dynamically typed and case-independent ooRexx

I'm using LotusScript, a script language used in Lotus Notes, also
described as "BASIC-like". It is useful to access and export the back-end
data. And I'm thinking to use it to export the data and generate
spreadsheet reports from AOO directly.
Is there some
similar samples or experience to do things like that? Maybe something like
VB scripts?

Sure you can use Python to automate tasks or you can use Java. It really
depends on what you have in mind to do.
Maybe you can explain what you have in mind
