java.net.ConnectException Connection Error

[bapu rout]

Hi,
I am very first to jodconverter.
I am trying to convert a .docx to .HTML.
I have written following source code:

----******Code Start Here*****-------


import java.io.*;
import java.net.ConnectException;
import java.net.Socket;


import com.artofsolving.jodconverter.openoffice.connection.*;
import com.artofsolving.jodconverter.openoffice.converter.*;
import com.artofsolving.jodconverter.*;


public class Test {



public static boolean checkServerAvailability(String host,int port) {
try {
Socket testSocket = new Socket(host,port);
return(true);
}
catch(Exception e) {
return(false);
}
}

public static void runOpenOfficeServer(String serverExecutable,String
host,int port,long delay,boolean runInvisibly) throws Exception {
String execString = serverExecutable;
if(runInvisibly) {
execString = execString + " -invisible";
}
execString = execString + " -quickstart -accept=socket,host=" + host
+ ",port=" + port + ";urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager";
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(execString);
/*Wait for OpenOffice server to sort its life out. Kludgy, but cant
find a better way to do this,
as the process doesn't write anything to it output stream*/
Thread.sleep(delay);
}
public static void main(String a[])
{

String openOfficeServerHost = "localhost";
int openOfficeServerPort = 8100;
if(!
Test.checkServerAvailability(openOfficeServerHost,openOfficeServerPort))
{
try {

Test.runOpenOfficeServer("/Users/priyaranjan/Desktop/
jodconverter-2.2.2/MacOS/
soffice",openOfficeServerHost,openOfficeServerPort,20000,false);

}
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("Unable to start the OpenOffice server");
e.printStackTrace();

}
}


File inputFile = new File("/Users/priyaranjan/Desktop/Hello.docx");
File outputFile = new File("/Users/priyaranjan/Desktop/Hello.html");



// connect to an OpenOffice.org instance running on port 8100
OpenOfficeConnection connection = new
SocketOpenOfficeConnection(8100);
try
{
connection.connect();
// convert
DocumentConverter converter = new
OpenOfficeDocumentConverter(connection);
converter.convert(inputFile, outputFile);

// close the connection
connection.disconnect();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

}



-------********Code Ends Here-----*******


But while trying to run it as java application it is showing an error
messages like:

java.net.ConnectException: connection failed:
socket,host=localhost,port=8100,tcpNoDelay=1:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
at
com.artofsolving.jodconverter.openoffice.connection.AbstractOpenOfficeConnection.connect(AbstractOpenOfficeConnection.java:
79) at Test.main(Test.java:66)


So can anyone help me to solve this error.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Bapu

Check that the OpenOffice server is listening. Try 'telnet localhost 8100' and you should get something like this

$> telnet localhost 8100
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.

Hi Brian,

I have visited the site http://www.artofsolving.com/node/10.
I have also tried various method like :

soffice -headless -accept="socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp;" -
nofirststartwizard


$ unset DISPLAY
$ soffice -headless -accept="socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp;" -
nofirststartwizard


But when ever i tried accept="socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp;" in
the terminal it is taking with no error.

But then I type telnet localhost 8100 it is showing same error:


Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying fe80::1...
telnet: connect to address fe80::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
Priyaranjan-K-Rout:MacOS priyaranjan$


Can You please guide me how to make OpenOffice server is listening.



Thanks and Regards,
bapu

Hi Bapu,

I don't know why it say this "Unable to connect to remote host" since you are within the same computer. Please check this thread http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=60176. It could lead you to the solution.

Have a blessed day.
Regards Richard Gathogo.

Hi,

I am facing the same problem while converting the HTML file to PDF file by using JOD converter .

Here is the error :

java.net.ConnectException: connection failed: socket,host=localhost,port=8100,tcpNoDelay=1: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
    at com.artofsolving.jodconverter.openoffice.connection.AbstractOpenOfficeConnection.connect(AbstractOpenOfficeConnection.java:79)
    at OpenOfficeConverter.openConnection(OpenOfficeConverter.java:115)

I am new to this concept , Can anyone please suggest me on this issue.

If anyone running the openoffice 3.0 services, please share me the hostName and port .

Thanks for your reply in advance .

Better to use JOD Coverter beta version. This version will take care about opening and closing the connections.
Link to get Beta Version: http://code.google.com/p/jodconverter/downloads/detail?name=jodconverter-core-3.0-beta-4-dist.zip
