How to Install JODConverter 3.0 under ColdFusion 8

ColdFusion 8 Instructions

1. Download latest version of the JODConverter and unzip.

2. Copy all jars from the jodconverter-core-3.0-beta-3\lib directory into the CF classpath. (Your version numbers may vary)

Note: I am not sure if all of the jars are needed. But this is the configuration that I used.


Example: Into WEB-INF\lib

C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\WEB-INF\lib\commons-cli-1.1.jar
C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\WEB-INF\lib\commons-io-1.4.jar
C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\WEB-INF\lib\jodconverter-core-3.0-beta-3.jar
C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\WEB-INF\lib\json-20080701.jar
C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\WEB-INF\lib\juh-3.1.0.jar
C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\WEB-INF\lib\jurt-3.1.0.jar
C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\WEB-INF\lib\ridl-3.1.0.jar
C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\WEB-INF\lib\unoil-3.1.0.jar

3. Smart people will make a back-up copy of the jvm.config file here.

4. Open the jvm.config file and locate the java.library.path value. Append the appropriate OpenOffice directory, using a comma. The exact directory will depend on your O/S. See the configuration page for details.

Example: On windows the new value might be:

java.library.path={application.home}/../lib,{application.home}/../jintegra/bin,{application.home}/../jintegra/bin/international,C:/Program Files/OpenOffice.org 3/URE/bin 

4. Stop and restart the CF Server
