How to disable openoffice connection ?

nis — Thu, 02 Feb 2006 10:20:51 GMT

Hi,How to disable openoffice connection at Alfresco startup ?I don't use OO features for my tests and so I would like a faster startup :wink:…2 fÃ©vr. 2006 10:18:12 net.sf.joott.uno.UnoConnection connectINFO: connecting using "socket,host=localhost,port=8100,tcpNoDelay=1"…2 fÃ©vr. 2006 10:18:13 net.

This is an unusual request, but easily done.

First read the WIKI on how to extend configurations: http://www.alfresco.org/mediawiki/index.php/Repository_Configuration

Then override the Open Office transformer bean:


   <bean id="transformer.OpenOffice"
         class="org.alfresco.repo.content.transform.UnoContentTransformer"
         parent="baseContentTransformer"  />
‍‍‍‍‍

Notice that the init method is NOT called.

Override the metadata extraction registry list:


   <bean id="metadataExtracterRegistry" class="org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.MetadataExtracterRegistry" >
      <constructor-arg>
         <ref bean="mimetypeService" />
      </constructor-arg>
      <!– metadata extracters –>
      <property name="extracters">
         <list>
          <bean class="org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.PdfBoxMetadataExtracter" />
          <bean class="org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.OfficeMetadataExtracter" />
          <bean class="org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.HtmlMetadataExtracter" />
          <bean class="org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.StringMetadataExtracter" />
          <bean class="org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.MP3MetadataExtracter" />
          <bean class="org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.OpenDocumentMetadataExtracter" />

         </list>
      </property>
   </bean>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Notice the lack of the UnoMetadataExtracter. The latter structure will change by the time 1.2 final is released - it will be similar to the transformers that self-register.

I'd also like to disable openoffice integration with enterprise 2.2 (to make automated integration testing simpler) but it seems the technique detailed in this 2006 post no longer applies…

Can anyone suggest a way of doing this with 2.2? disabling openoffice.

When openoffice is not running i get the following exception:


15:55:59,828 ERROR [web.context.ContextLoader] Context initialization failed

Hi,
I run without a connection all the time, so I'm surprised you get SocketException. You can disable the connection tester by adding this to your custom-repository-context.xml:

<bean id="openOfficeConnectionTester" class="java.util.ArrayList" />‍

Hi derek,

Thanks for the reply, I'll try that now.

In regards to being surprised about having any issues at all - well so was I!

I had strict set to false in openOfficeConnectionTester bean, and looking at the code for that it's supposed to surpress the exception however testAndConnect() is trying to catch a java.net.ConnectException where as the method is actually throwing a net.sf.jooreports.openoffice.connection.OpenOfficeException as is shown by the trace below.

Guess I should raise a bug. Will try overriding the bean.

Cheers,

Overriding worked but I had to take out the following three beans with fake ones:

   <bean id="openOfficeConnectionTester" class="java.util.ArrayList" />
   <bean id="openOfficeConnectionTesterTrigger" class="java.util.ArrayList" />
   <bean id="openOfficeConnectionTesterJobDetail" class="java.util.ArrayList" />

Once they were gone all was well,

Thanks,
John

This issue is happening to me too.
I experienced skazer's problems.
I have Alfresco 3 labs, Ubuntu 8.04 and experienced the same problems with stock OO 2.4.
I then upgraded OO to 3.0.1 from hardy repos, but the problem is still there and it's preventing alfresco to start.
The strange thing I see is under top: I get peak loads by openoffice under the two cpu cores.
Here's some more logging:

…next I'm gonna try to disable OO, but it's sad to cripple alfresco's features!

Re: How to disable openoffice connection ?

This is happening to me too

I had two alfresco versions running in my machine without problems; those were 2.1 and 3 final; both of them were just unzipped from the alfresco tomcat distribution.
Then, I had to install alfresco 3 final using the installer (.exe distribution) and then I uninstallit again; then when I tried to start any of the two previous installations, the exception is thrown… I think the Alfresco Installer modifies something in windows that makes the OpenOfficeException be thrown instead of ConnectException

The stack trace is as follows:

Re: How to disable openoffice connection ?

derek — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 07:55:32 GMT

I had two alfresco versions running in my machine without problems; those were 2.1 and 3 final; both of them were just unzipped from the alfresco tomcat distribution.
Then, I had to install alfresco 3 final using the installer (.exe distribution) and then I uninstallit again; then when I tried to start any of the two previous installations, the exception is thrown… I think the Alfresco Installer modifies something in windows that makes the OpenOfficeException be thrown instead of ConnectException

Is OpenOffice running?

No, it is not running, in fact, when I installed Alfresco (using the .exe), I choose not to install open office neither java.

Anyway, I don't know why, but after a lot of workarrounds trying to solve this problem, I just moved java to a different folder, and then I changed the java_home and jre_home enviroment variables… then, I changed the path enviroment variable to have the java bin directory at first, and it's all working fine again.

The original path had alfresco bin directory at first, and then java bin directory… I just changed and seems to be the solution..

Old Classpath
E:\Arkimia\dev\Alfresco\alfresco-community-tomcat-2.1.0\bin;%java_home%\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Intel\Wireless\Bin\;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\ConnectUtilities;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo;C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Client Security Solution;%ant_home%\bin;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Teleca Shared

New Classpath
%java_home%\bin;E:\Arkimia\dev\Alfresco\alfresco-community-tomcat-2.1.0\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Intel\Wireless\Bin\;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\ConnectUtilities;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo;C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Client Security Solution;%ant_home%\bin;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Teleca Shared

I think this is maybe a bug from the .exe installer when we don't want to install open office nor java.

Now I know it wasn't because of the path order… I think this is a problem with the firewall, and I'm gonna explain why…

Initially, when the problem started (after installing alfresco), I had java in the following folder (java_home and jre_home pointing to those directories):
JDK: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_12
JRE: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_12

If I just rename the "Java" folder to something like "Java.x", the new paths are (I changed java_home and jre_home too):
JDK: C:\Program Files\Java.x\jdk1.5.0_12
JRE: C:\Program Files\Java.x\jre1.5.0_12

After renaming them, when I start Alfresco, windows firewall alerts me to allow access to java, and starts normally…

If I just rename back "Java.x" to "Java" (and change the java_home and jre_home), the open office error occurs again… the jdk and jre folders are
JDK: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_12
JRE: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_12

So, that's why I think it is a problem related to the windows firewall; at the moment I installed alfresco (without installing oo neither java) something could had happen that made the Alfresco installer to cause a problem when using java in the original path…

When I rename again to "Java.x", alfresco starts normally again!!!

I haven't tried to solve this to make alfresco running with the original java location… I just moved java to another location, changed the java_home and jre_home env variables, and it's working fine.

I'll let you know If I can solve the problem with java running in the original path.

bye

Hello,

I have installed Alfresco 3.2 r2 on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karnic) and seem to have troubles with OpenOffice. I want to deactivate it but there is no "custom-repository-context.xml" file to add the changes mentioned above. Also http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Upgrading_to_Alfresco_Community_Edition_3.2 says that custom-repository.properties contents should be moved into the alfresco-global.properties file. But in which file shall I add the changes supposed to got into the associated "custom-repository-context.xml"? How can I switch off openoffice in Aldfresco 3.2 r2?

Thanks!

Hi,

I've solved the problem creating the file "shared/alfresco/extension/subsystems/thirdparty/default/default/custom-openoffice-transform-context.xml" (based on alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/subsystems/thirdparty/default/openoffice-transform-context.xml), with the following contents:


<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>
<beans>

   <bean id="openOfficeStartupBootstrap" class="org.alfresco.util.exec.RuntimeExecBootstrapBean">
      <property name="startupCommands">
         <list>
         </list>
      </property>
      <property name="failOnError">
         <value>false</value>
      </property>
   </bean>

    <bean id="openOfficeConnectionTester" class="java.util.ArrayList" />
    <bean id="openOfficeConnectionTesterTrigger" class="java.util.ArrayList" />
    <bean id="openOfficeConnectionTesterJobDetail" class="java.util.ArrayList" />

</beans>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The first bean avoid the openoffice executable to be started.
The other beans inhibits the Tester to check the openoffice connection at start time.

It seems to work.

Bye
