hi folks
i am having lots of trouble importing documents with graphics in them.
even a doc with 1 or 2 small graphics is running past the timeout period
(even though i've set timeout to 300,000 msec - 5min).
system is:
- xwiki 2.0.3 standalone
- openoffice 3.1
- centos 5.4 linux on vmware
- java heap set to 300MB (JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx300m)
is this a known problem and/or can anyone suggest a fix?
is office importer even supposed to be able to handle graphics?

Yup, office importer can handle graphics without issues. I think this has
something to do with your particular operating environment, is this a
desktop system or a server? I suspect this is something with your X server
configuration but I'm not sure. I will check 2.0.3 myself to see if there
have been a regression.

the xwiki is running on linux (centos 5.4) which is running in a VM
guest with VMware server running on windows xp.
i'm accessing the xwiki via a web browser on the windows system
the linux system is at runlevel 3 - multiuser server, no gui login.
Xwindows, etc, is installed however.
the openoffice.org instance is running internally
any thoughts on what can be done would be appreciated.

said you are on a VMWare platform, make sure that your OpenOffice server is
actually listening in port 8100 (configurable).

Hi,
With X turned on (runlevel 5 on the linux box) there's no improvement in

I start xwiki automatically from an init script - so it doesn't pick up
a DISPLAY environment variable.
Can anyone confirm whether they can import documents with images with:
- linux 2.6(.18)
- openoffice.org 3.1.1
- xwiki (standalone) 2.0.3
Here is my configuration:
- Fedroa 10 desktop (2.6.27.30-170.2.82.fc10.i686.PAE kernel)
- XE 2.0.3
- OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 (Build 9420)
Importing documents with images works fine.
Few questions for you:
1. Is openoffice server listening on port 8100? Can XE connect to that port?
2. What does the XE log tell you when this problem occurs.
Another possibility is that there might be a problem with your openoffice
profile. Usually this should not happen because jodconverter automatically
creates a profile. Just in case, in xwiki.properties file try uncommenting
openoffice.profile option and point it to a valid (initialized) profile
directory (like /home/user/.openoffice.org/3).

No, the profile is not created automatically, at least not every

yourself or change the office importer settings.

Well, if the OpenOffice server is started internal to XE AFAIR OpenOffice
profile should be created automatically. But if you are starting OpenOffice
server externally, then you have to provide a profile directory manually.
I'll investigate a bit further.

With jodconverter 3.0-beta-2 you don't need a profile directory if you are
starting OpenOffice server internal to XE:
Refer:
http://groups.google.com/group/jodconverter/browse_thread/thread/8b73b26b70…
details.
Note that we've mentioned this on the documentation at
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/OfficeImporterApplication
"For the *profilePath* configuration option, you need to have an OpenOffice
profile directory created somewhere on the system. This can be a problem in
server environments where launching OpenOffice is not an option. In such
situations you can create an OpenOffice profile on a local computer and
upload it to the server running XE."
Although it is under the wrong topic (internally managed..) it should be
under "Externally managed..." section (fixing that now).
Also jodconverter 3.0-beta-3 has been out for a while:
http://groups.google.com/group/jodconverter/browse_thread/thread/6e4eeb3d7e…
I did not have time to upgrade office importer. And I think they have few

Hi Asiri,
Could this be also caused by the opened streams issue?
JODConverter creates extra files when exporting embeded elements like
images. Since this seems to work on the 2.0.5 snapshot but not on 2.0.3,
is it possible that this is solved as a side effect of fixing
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4636 ?

Jodconverter will try to figure out the openoffice installation dir

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. I think you have different behavior depending on
the system. I tested on Windows Xp, 7 and Fedora. It never created the
profile dir. Anyway, I don't think this is the cause of the current issue.

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/8b73b26b70…
"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.

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. :)
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.
Thanks,

http://groups.google.com/group/jodconverter/browse_thread/thread/8b73b26b70…
"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.

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

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.

Thanks,
Florin Ciubotaru

With the
-nofirststartwizard flag you don't need a profile dir.

thanks for all the responses to this.
to be clear, importing the document /without/ graphics works as expected.
these are MS word for windows (2003) documents; the graphics are
embedded (not linked to external files)
when timing out, no data is produced.

Another possibility is that there might be a problem
with your openoffice
profile. Usually this should not happen because jodconverter automatically
creates a profile. Just in case, in xwiki.properties file try uncommenting
openoffice.profile option and point it to a valid (initialized) profile
directory (like /home/user/.openoffice.org/3).
# grep profilePath /var/xwiki/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/xwiki.properties
openoffice.profilePath=/var/xwiki/.openoffice.org/3

Hi,
The images embedded inside Office document, how large are they? (very
high-resolution images?)
- If they are quite large, you might want to increase the time-out for
officeimporter operations (from xwiki.properties file).
- Now, if they are not that large (if the most trivial images also fail),
then it'll be great if you can provide us a sample failing document.
Also, there is a small test you can perform if you have access to a GUI in
your computer:
- Open the failing document in OpenOffice.
- Save the document as HTML into some place.
Does above operation work without issues? And what about images, are they
properly saved? and what type of images are they ? (The last question is
because OpenOffice has a problem with EMF/WMF image formats on windows and
linux boxes).
Thanks.

in my sample case - not large at all (whole document is 125KB)
- If they are quite large, you might want to increase

officeimporter operations (from xwiki.properties file).
timeout is set to 5 minutes (300000ms)

i will send you the sample document directly so as not to spam the alias.

worked without issues. the images in this case are PNG and GIF

Hi Peter,
i will send you the sample document directly so as not to spam the alias.
Thanks. I received your file and tested it both on XE 2.0.3 and XE snapshot
and it worked without issue.
However, I must ask you to do one more experiment to nail down this issue.
Sorry about having to ask for this much but this is because I cannot locally
reproduce your issue.
This is what you have to do:
1. Download
http://jodconverter.googlecode.com/files/jodconverter-3.0-beta-2-dist.zip
2. Extract this zip file into (say) $JOD_CONVERTER_HOME
3. Go inside $JOD_CONVERTER_HOME/lib and issue the following command:
java -jar jodconverter-3.0-beta-2.jar /path/to/sample.doc
/a/path/to/sample.html
The second path is a non-existent one and it is important that the target
extension is "html".
4. Report your observations into the mailing list. (Whether sample.doc was
successfully imported into html and whether output images look fine).
Thanks for your time & patience :)

This is what you have to do:
...i haven't tried these steps yet, but i think i've uncovered the problem:
i transferred the VMDK to a different computer & re-created the VM. it used the
default settings, giving the system much more RAM (1GB vs 600MB) & i was able to
import graphics immediately.
nothing else was changed.
