Alfresco on Ubuntu 9.10 with OpenOffice.org

[jeff_krull]

We are having an issue with an Alfresco 3.3 Community installation on Ubuntu.  We can't get it to successfully transform documents with OpenOffice.org.  I can telnet into port 8100 and confirm that it is listening, but any time I attempt a content transformation it fails and throws a stacktrace:

There are no errors thrown during startup, and as far as I can tell the Alfresco OpenOffice connector starts up successfully.  The OpenOffice.org build version is 3.1.1-5ubuntu1.1.

Can anyone offer any insight?

Try with this thread http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=16484 and also look at issue here http://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-2594 where they have same problems and they state in one message that it might be open office bug which is fixed in version 3.2.

Uninstalling and reinstalling OpenOffice.org 3.2 from the website resolved it.  Thanks!
