I posted this in the Macros forum, but think it may be the wrong forum. Hopefully, this is the correct forum. There are updates here though.

I am trying to connect to a remote instance of StarOffice 9(basis3.1) on Solaris 10 x86, however, I am having some strange inconsistencies. On some systems, my application successfully launches the SpreadSheet application by using the bootstrap method, although it fails if I use a user that did not compile the code. However, on other systems (same architecture), the SpreadSheet application will not launch unless I already have StarOffice running, otherwise it throws com.sun.star.lang.DisposedException: java.io.Exception. Any help on this matter would be greatly accepted.

I've narrowed it down to this call:
ProtertyValue[] load_props = new PropertyValue[0];
XComponent comp = xComponentLoader.loadComponentFromURL("private:factory/scalc", "_blank", 0, load_props);

This call never returns and is throwing the exception.

Thanks in Advanced,

Raymond

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but I did the following with the same results.

PropertyValue[] load_props = new PropertyValue[0];
load_props[0] = new PropertyValue();
XComponent comp = xComponentLoader.loadComponentFromURL("private:factory/scalc", "_blank", 0, load_props);

Any ideas?

That's an environment I've never used. So all I can give you is a little bit of general advice, although that might not be helpful in your case.

This two lines are ok. I've used myself this line, always without any problems: So, in my opinion, we both use the same load_props in the loadComponentFromURL() call. If this statements throws an exception, it might be caused by an unsatisfactory initialized xComponentLoader. You didn't post your code, how you initialize that loader and didn't describe how you call that code. So, just as a wild guess, give the bootstrapconnector a try: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/ ... pconnector
