OpenOffice service hangs

[shan]

Hi,

I am using PyODConverter to convert doc to html and vice-versa, on
CentOS with OpenOffice Version 2.4 .

When i do bulk conversions, the OpenOffice service hangs and the
command does not exit in the middle. This stops the subsequent
documents from conversion. This issue pops up on a random basis.

I have a script to start the OpenOffice service, if in case the
service crashes and terminates. But when the service hangs, i could
not figure out a way to identify and restart the service.

I would like to know if there is a better approach to handle this
issue and ensure 100% conversion.

thanks,
Shan

Hi Shan,

JODConverter 3.0 adds the ability to abort a conversion if it doesn't
finish within a timeout (e.g. 2 minutes) killing and restarting OOo.
It can do that because JODConverter 3.0 starts and manages its own OOo
process.

Kind regards

Mirko

Hi Mirko,

Thanks for suggestion.

My Web Application is implemented in Python/Django.
I implemented a similar timeout mechanism for managing the OOo service
in python.

thanks
Shan
