Hi,
By the way, completely unrelated to the java eid applet, I've created a very small signing script
in Groovy, using only the standard Java SE libraries, plus a dummy certificate store (so you
don't need an eID card)
It's been a while, but's in the OIC svn:
http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/oic/TestSuite/branches/barth/odf12/misc/#_TestSuite_branches_barth_odf12_misc_
I have to update it a little bit, and change it so you don't have to add the documentsignatures.xml
manually to the ODF package
Now, last time I've checked OOo / Symphony did not add the dsig and ds prefixes suggested
(mandated ?) by the latest ODF 1.2 spec (and just ignored signatures that did use the correct
prefixes, no warning or error, just... nothing). To be checked !
Anyway, about a signature scenario, what about a timesheet:
- lpOD script generating a document with a table (or just a spreadsheet) with the days of the
month and some nice headings + fields / cells were one can fill out his / her name etc
it is stored in the "to be filled out" directory
- Symphony user ("the consultant") filling out the hours for this month, 210 in total, and signing
the ODF, stores it in "filled out" directory
- ODFDom parsing signed document, checking if total of hours / month exceeds 200 hours,
and moves it to "to be approved" directory
- OpenOffice user ("the boss") signs the document for approval, and copies it to "approved"
directory
- ODFDom checks the two signatures, creates a short summary document and copies it
to "management" directory
- KOffice mobile user ("the CFO") reads the document
(Yes, I realize all this could be done using html/forms... but you'd surprised how many
document-flows are still around)
Best regards
Bart
