Creating a Groove tool from a Java app

[CHEMAelMC]

Hello, everybody. I am new in groove, and I've heard that there is a way to
create new tools to use in it, I am creating an application in java, and I'd
like to create a groove tool out of it. My question is, do I have to
translate the java code to C#, or any other code used in groove?

Thanks a lot

It is not possible to create a Groove tool with Java. Prior versions of
Groove had the facility for creating Groove tools using .NET but this feature
is not available in the current version.
Are you thinking about integrating with the Groove client data from a Java
app (using web services) ?

Hi SBC, Thanks for the reply.

I still don't know how I am going to integrate it, do you know any good
tutorial or book about creating a Groove tool?... I saw in the internet a
book: Peer-to-Peer Programming on Groove by James Edwards .

Thanks

This book is quite old (2002) and was dedicated to the Groove Virtual Office
V2 release.
As said by SBC, the dev capability covered in this book (XML, OSD,
Javascript) are (unfortunately) not available anymore...

There are only 2 ways to extend Groove 2007 :

- Use Groove Forms to create forms-based applications ("rapid solutions")

- Use the Groove Web Services API to read/write information from an external
application
You can download the SDK there
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...e9-e1b9-4a10-beea-1fd906b77f92&DisplayLang=en).
Have a look to the documentation provided with it.

All examples you will find will be written in C# or VB.NET.
Writing the same code in Java should be possible...(because of the Web
Services approach)

there's another approach for integration - InfoPatterns' Bambuco scripting.
