No connection to remote OpenOffice in Alf Community 4.0e

[moosach]

Hi everybody,

I have to ask a new question after a long time as I'm stuck currently. Hopefully I get some hints here how to proceed.

Configuration:
Alfresco Community 4.0e
Tomcat 7.0.26
mySql 5.5

Remote :
OpenOffice 3 running headless and reachable with telnet from Alfresco server on the specified port 8101 (on both sides)

Configuration should be simple now according https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-14240:
ooo.host=<OpenOffice host ip address>
ooo.port=<OpenOffice port number>
ooo.enabled=false

I skipped tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/remote-openoffce-context.xml described in http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Running_OpenOffice_From_Remote_Machine as I got this error " "Error creating bean with name 'transformer.OpenOffice'" as described in issue ALF-14240. So I assume that fix is already included in version 4.0e.

Well I don't get any connection. Log simply says :"An initial OpenOffice connection could not be established."

Should it be possible to connect to a remote OO with Alfresco 4.0e ? Is there a log level to see what is going wrong ?

Any help or hint is welcome. I'm really stuck currently.

Thanks and best regards

Tony

Hi everybody,

on a clean install of Alfresco 4.2b with Tomcat6 and Java 1.7.09 I don't get a connection to my remote office either  :evil:

Again the connection can be established with telnet on the specified port. OO answers.

In the log now I find

WARN  [alfresco.util.AbstractTriggerBean] [main] Job openOfficeConnectionTesterTrigger is not enabled‍

Preview doesn't work. But it is working if I switch back to local OO. So : no connection but no log entry

Any idea smart people outside ?

Thanks for any hint

Tony

Hi all,

correction : On 4.2 the remote connection to OO is working.

Had to set

ooo.enabled=true‍

Unfortunately I'm stuck with Alfresco 4 as the managed server only has Java 1.6 and not Java 1.7 yet.

So no remote connection if nobody has an idea I'm still hoping for 😉

Cheers

Tony
