Then you just need some feed handler(s) to suck the prices from Google or another source and transmit them into the OpenMAMA framework. You can change the feed handler when necessary without having to change all the code that consumes prices. > There's this guy here (worked for me in the past): > http://extensions.openoffice.org/de/project/getquote > > For your original question wrt. a suitable example: > http://www.enigmacurry.com/archive/2009/12/1/ The description looks very similar to what I had in mind, but I notice that is in Python. For OpenMAMA, there is a C++ and Java API and I notice that LibreOffice offers both C++ and Java extension writing tutorials. Can you make any comment on which might be the better choice and any example in one of those languages? I suspect C++ would be the better choice for performance. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Icedove - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJSj7mqAAoJEOm1uwJp1aqDFrcQAMdwBGhTYxkFGHBgzg4hdp4D mxTiXeptsRBhI5yeSXJQduWPguLVG8aOjnyaW3hdHbFZ4sEWzEAG1MWWpaPYD8RK TEE9qDs4fGsZZprGRd3WX1Y1foNKu1z2F0aNjYaV4iyEXceexOw7JGCOXEocvFTf J3L19GJkK4npVLSJQu0LKx/TwDxjjrRwTcFHvfv57lmlC/ffS3aFjWXZCfFtaibc X/9h16SKdJ8GkRIrMPj2xRqpUgzVnqM8hCO/8lBDB6NHfvbK95TafnmJsFKuuXNT /DVJuYo3qjYctLcRFnRlo4JOdRRvJBSXpd4PJPbxNCex6QYCCQor04BalQa5F3uN C7x3ZVOoxRyG6IML9BI0rw8T2R91k0/3MwzysG9sMRAMQhaOwWLvnhfCONlXomxi 2Z4fKXk4D6/j5mmSnpC7iSB8rwxDN3NqZIQt0bXVrJxSMOqoW82NG7x8pOaP+oz6 L23VFYHEyJL5cft5G0ACqZkDJ8oJlzfv1+5UfhjyAUnLSToQe9zTArn1fLsvMRNs QyVYORS5N+VXKXxLNOA5UBxzJs1WIoCPVBEgRNJ8TyNQNIyrDAFdBZLvkRk05b8l S6MjgfM1J98G2NaV5p8BfRIWq1LKGienhKEHZlxHQGv+HZXfVp7vgW3VEWK1nKAb uQ55Nco90B3/FWknfHRV =xpqk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
