Asiri, thanks for feedback!
soffice in /usr/share/ooo3 turned to be symbolic link to
/usr/lib/ooo3/soffice script, which in turn uses /usr/lib/ooo3/soffice.bin -
so after configuring, /usr/lib/ooo3 as server path, I was able to start it
from XWiki. Custom script I previously had for starting soffice goes to
history.
Regards,
Stevo.

  Hello XWiki users,
 I'm trying to configure OpenOffice server for XWiki 1.8 installation
 (xwiki.properties). Operating system where all is installed is OpenSuse
 11.1. OpenOffice 3 is installed. For this distribution there is
 /usr/share/ooo3 directory with program subdirectory, but soffice.bin 
 XWiki
  is looking for is not there. Instead, I'm
able to manually start 
 OpenOffice
  server using /usr/bin/soffice script.
 
 Can you look into /usr/bin/soffice and see where your soffice.bin file is
 located?
 This issue needs to be addressed in jodconverter rather than in XWiki. I
 have asked Mirko a similar question some time ago:
 
http://groups.google.com/group/jodconverter/browse_thread/thread/5300d34d71…
 According to the current jodconverter implementation, it looks for a
 OFFICE_HOME/program/soffice.bin file. And it will not work if this
 structure
 is not present.
 Is there any way to configure XWiki to use /usr/bin/soffice to start
 OpenOffice server, or to configure XWiki to use OpenOffice server already
 started outside of XWiki (e.g. using custom startup script) ? 
 Previously this is the way officeimporter used to work. But with the
 upgrade
 to jodconverter-3.0 beta, this is no longer possible :( I need to dig
 around
 a bit and see if this mode can be supported.
 Thanks.
