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

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()
