What is the technology behind OpenOffice.org Anywhere
I able to launch open开发者_StackOverflow中文版 office through web browser, even I do not have a copy of open office.
http://www.ooanywhere.com/
May I know what is the technology behind?
(Although the launched open office is quite slow and not responsive)
Thanks.
Our service is based on the following technologies:
- Linux based machines running in the cloud (datacenter is located in the eastern US and it may indeed be slower for distant locations);
- for remote access we're using open source NX server from NoMachine;
- on the client side we're running custom-built Java Applet which talks to our servers via SSH;
Let us know if you want to know something more.
On the client side, a Java applet is used. The Java applet creates a new Frame, that appears on the client computer.
The Java client applications then uses a screen sharing protocol (I think something X tunnelling) to display the interface to you.
The server is a Linux machine, that launches OOo for you, the display beeing deported to your client machine.
Based on the FAQ, I would assume it uses some form of screen sharing protocol, such as VNC.
