Hi Jürgen,

The secure way is that you start your OOo server manually and connect
to it via TCP/IP and the specified socket. It is recommended to use
this way if you want to develop something serious.
sorry but that is wrong, the simple bootstrap mechanism is serious even
if it has some problems on systems where special scripts are used around
the normal binaries or default scripts.
we could debate here about what is serious and what not, however I
didn't talk about the SimpleBootstrap mechanism being not serious, I
said it would be better to set things up manually when you're
developing something 'serious' (==> more secure, more control etc.).
it depends on your requirements. If you only need a connection to a
running office (which of course can be specified) and no remote
connection the simple bootstrap mechanism does fulfill your needs quite
well and a named pipe connection is more secure than a socket connection.
My comment was related to your statement "It is recommended to use
this way if you want to develop something serious." and that is from my
point of view wrong. You can develop a serious program using the simple
bootstrap mechanism, it depends on your requirements.
Excuse me if my last answer wasn't clear enough.
Juergen
Besides the problems there could be on some systems, it also has
limitations. For example you cannot hook up to a remote-machine OOo.
Thus if you're dealing with servers and you write code on a client
machine, you can only go by TCP/IP to connect to the Office (named
pipes work only on the same machine).
