An update to my posting. I do have the headless version of openoffice installed:

[root@server2 extension]# rpm -qa|grep openoffice
openoffice.org-base-2.3.0-6.10.el5
openoffice.org-headless-2.3.0-6.10.el5
openoffice.org-core-2.3.0-6.10.el5
openoffice.org-calc-2.3.0-6.10.el5
openoffice.org-writer-2.3.0-6.10.el5
openoffice.org-impress-2.3.0-6.10.el5
openoffice.org-draw-2.3.0-6.10.el5
openoffice.org-graphicfilter-2.3.0-6.10.el5
openoffice.org-pyuno-2.3.0-6.10.el5
openoffice.org-xsltfilter-2.3.0-6.10.el5
openoffice.org-math-2.3.0-6.10.el5

Also I have verified that if I start openoffice manually then launch alfresco, it works fine:

/usr/lib/openoffice.org/program/soffice.bin -accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp; -nologo -headless -nofirststartwizard &

I did find out that there is a bug in the openoffice wrapper: /usr/lib/openoffice.org/program/soffice, so you have to use /usr/lib/openoffice.org/program/soffice.bin otherwise the -headless option does not work properly.

But I have my files all updated to use "/usr/lib/openoffice.org/program/soffice.bin" as my office program and launching "service tomcat5 start" does not seem to kickoff openoffice.

I am wondering if its even trying to run openoffice, I have the openoffice-startup-context.xml in /var/lib/tomcat5/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/bootstrap/
