How do I close a java<->OOo bridge?

[coolcaptcha]

Hi there,

I would like to close the bridge between Java and OOo without having to kill either program.

• XComponent.dispose() alone makes the Java program hang after ending main (some connection reader thread is blocking)
• System.exit(0) does not kill OOo but it stops (logically) the Java program.
• XDesktop.terminate() kills OOo (even other open documents are being closed)
• BootstrapPipeConnector.disconnect() kills open OOo as well.

Now I am out of ideas. Is there another way to close the bridge?

I have the same problem too. Even the java is terminated, the soffice process(tow processes as show below ) still running.

I recently ran into this problem. It's hard to find the right bridge. After much digging, I found the local service manager had a reference. Here is a method I wrote that closes the connection, leaving both processes running. It is safe to call even when there is no connection.

Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view

import static com.sun.star.uno.UnoRuntime.queryInterface;
import com.sun.star.bridge.XBridge;
import com.sun.star.bridge.XBridgeFactory;
import com.sun.star.comp.helper.Bootstrap;
import com.sun.star.lang.XComponent;

   /**
    * Close our connection to the office process.
    */
   public static void closeOfficeConnection() {
      try {
         // get the bridge factory from the local service manager
         XBridgeFactory bridgeFactory = queryInterface(XBridgeFactory.class,
            Bootstrap.createSimpleServiceManager()
               .createInstance("com.sun.star.bridge.BridgeFactory"));

         if (bridgeFactory != null) {
            for (XBridge bridge : bridgeFactory.getExistingBridges()) {
               // dispose of this bridge after closing its connection
               queryInterface(XComponent.class, bridge).dispose();
            }
         }
      } catch (Throwable e) {
         System.err.println("Exception disposing office process connection bridge:");
         e.printStackTrace(System.err);
      }

   } // end closeOfficeConnection()
