3.0 Labs Lucene Indexer Job Exception and OO connector issue

_sax — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 12:12:02 GMT

I tried Alfresco 3.0b (Labs) and 3.0d (December 9).With both I run into issues concerning search. The log talks of two separate, but probably connected issues:12:48:10,486 INFO [org.alfresco.service.descriptor.DescriptorService] Alfresco started (Labs): Current version 3.0.0 (d-dev 1344) schema 100

Retested with 3.0E and found that there is no more hint to disconnected openoffice-instances, yet the Index Job continues to fail.
All I did was to start 3.0E (openSuse 10.3, MySQL), applied a custom content model (featuring several aspects and two new types), restarted Alfresco, uploaded a file and gave it one of the two custom types and as soon, as I did, the problem reoccured:

The very same content model works flawlessly in our 2.9b installation for months.
One thing I noticed before was

14:15:45,551 WARN  [org.alfresco.web.bean.repository.Repository] Metadata extraction failed:
   reader: ContentAccessor[ contentUrl=store:///opt/Alfresco/tomcat/temp/Alfresco/alfresco38081.upload, mimetype=application/pdf, size=810025, encoding=UTF-8, locale=de_DE]
   extracter: org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.PdfBoxMetadataExtracter@c977fc
‍‍‍‍

Still, a content conversion (Word to PDF) was possible, so I presume that OpenOffice is running properly.

Hi _sax,
did you solve the problem?
I have a similar nullPointerException in ADMLuceneIndexerImpl.java.
This is the thread I opened

Thank you

Glad you recovered your database by the help of derek over there. I succeeded with upgrading from OpenOffice 2.1 to 3.0.
With it, the error is now gone. By finding the cause I also noted, that the messages were right: a connection to OpenOffice was not established. It just seemed to be, because during the document conversion from DOC to PDF no error was thrown. What I did oversee, though, was the resulting document was an exact copy of the Word-file, just having another file extension. In earlier versions of Alfresco, an error was thrown, instead of a "pretended" conversion :wink: taking place.
