How can I use OpenOffice in server mode as a multithreaded service?

Question

What is the experience of working with OpenOffice in server mode? I know OpenOffice is not multithreaded and now I need to use its services in our server.
What can I do

Answer 1

Yes, I am using OpenOffice as a document conversion server.

Unfortunately, the solution to your problem is to spawn a pool of OpenOffice processes.

The commons-pool branch of JODConverter (before it moved to code.google.com) implemented this out-of-the-box for you.
