Hi Florin, Hi,
Sorry for the previous empty mail. All this quoting is not necessary, I never asked how jodconverter behaves nor do I trust the doc without testing it ;) My point is that just relying on that upgrade or specification didn't do the trick and we still have the issue. Please test the use case. :)
What do you think I have been testing for last year or so? :) I have tested OfficeImporter in a lot of scenarios (mostly on linux boxes though) but I cannot do exhaustive testing on all the environments. I know we have a problem with OfficeImporter on fresh boxes but you have to understand that currently I cannot do a lot of investigations regarding this issue. An issue like this cannot be fixed just by going through the code, I need some time to investigate. Please understand me, it's about priority, not about technical details. Why I pointed out the docs was because this problem never came across me until recently, so without getting someone's clear confirmation that we _really_ have an important issue, I'd rather not spend time on investigating it.
The server fails to start when you call the start() method in DefaultOpenOffice manager if you don't provide an valid folder. Note that there is a difference between profileDir and templateProfileDir which you set in the configuration. Maybe you could investigate this. Since this is not related to the current thread, i propose to move the discussion on jira. This is a low priority issue as it only happens on a fresh machine.
I agree, and I plan to investigate this issue (and there are several other issues on my list), I just need to find time for them. - Asiri
Thanks, Florin Ciubotaru

Hi,
Jodconverter will try to figure out the openoffice installation dir automatically. But this is not very accurate, and I have metioned this on the doc:
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/OfficeImporterApplication
Yes, but even when it figures out the open office installation dir, it doesn't create the profile folder if it doesn't exist. This will cause the connection to fail.
As I said before, with jodconverter 3.0-beta-2 version, you don't need a profile dir (if you are internally starting the OOo server).
Refer:
http://groups.google.com/group/jodconverter/browse_thread/thread/8b73b26b701...
"OOo is now started with -nofirststartwizard by default. This avoids the frequent problem of OOo refusing to work on a new machine because
it's
expecting somebody to accept its license dialogue even in -headless mode."
It is after accepting the license agreement the profile dir gets
created.
With the -nofirststartwizard flag you don't need a profile dir.
