Issues with jodconverter connecting to OOo

[MahadmaGandalf]

Hello,

I have installed the jodconverter-2.2.2 as a part of JBoss Application-
Server on Server1.
There is OpenOffice 3.1.1 installed on an other server (Server2) and
started with:

/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin -headless -
accept="socket,host=172.31.1.133,port=8100;urp" -nofirststartwizard -
invisible -nologo

The port 8100 on server1 is opened:
Server1:~ # netstat -an | grep 8100
tcp 0 0 175.31.1.133:8100 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN

an open connection via telnet from Server1 to Server2 shows that the
port is reachable:

Server1:/u01/app/jboss/jodconverter-2.2.2/lib # telnet 175.31.1.133
8100
Trying 175.31.1.133...
Connected to 175.31.1.133.
Escape character is '^]'.

But when I want to start the conversion of a document the following
error occurs:




Server1:/u01/app/jboss/jodconverter-2.2.2/lib # /u01/app/java/
jdk1.6.0_14/bin/java -jar jodconverter-cli-2.2.2.jar -h 175.31.1.133 -

Has someone a hint what caused this issue?

Using OOo on a different machine is not recommended.

And in fact there's no -h switch on the command line tool, where did
you find that out?

Kind regards

Hello Mirko,
thanks for your answers!

Using different servers is a customer requirement (though I mentioned
that it is not recommended). The command is also given by the customer
with its parameters.
I thought it would be correct. If not, where can specify the remote
Office Server? (is the -p Parameter correct)

Is there any documentation about using JODconverter/OOo on differnt
machines?

The command line tool doesn't support connecting to a remote server,
period. Like most tools, if you invoke the command without arguments
it will tell you which parameters it supports.

StreamOpenOfficeDocumentConverter was introduced for that purpose,
before realising that it wasn't a good idea.
