Re ading microsoft .xls format and openoffice OpenDocument files

Well, this can be realized with the OpenOffice API
and the JRI package i would guess:

I successfully use the OpenOffice APi with Rserve to get and send 
data from or to the OpenOffice calc tool (Windows, Linux). The OpenOffice
API itself
and its use is good documented here:

http://api.openoffice.org/DevelopersGuide/DevelopersGuide.html

So i think it can definitely be done.
