[libreoffice-users] trying to integrate oracle forms with libreoffice

hi

In my organization we have some applications built with oracle forms 
which generate .doc and .xls documents, as we are migrating to 
LibreOffice we are trying to remove the office suite from the pc's but 
the users with these applications can't make the switch.

the problem is that oracle forms generates the documents in the client 
using ole2 calls 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Linking_and_Embedding) to the 
office suite through a component called webutil 
(http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/webutil-090641.html)

ole2 is well supported by libreoffice so in theory the connection from 
oracle forms to libreoffice through webutil is possible:

the problem is that it seems that the webutil component was developed 
only with the microsoft office suite in mindand there is not guarantee 
to it functioning well with other suites:

has anybody faced this problem before? is possible to make libreoffice 
work with webutil or there is another similar component already 
developed with the same funcionality?

thanks
