StackOverflowError While applying Alfresco Rule to convert Word Doc to PDF - pdf

Question

I'm trying to target the following :
using the WebDav or throw the Alfresco (Community): Current version 3.4.0 (d 3370) schema 4113 Admin interface, I'm trying to upload a Microsoft Office 2003/2007 or an OpenOffice/LibreOffice document into the Alfresco repository and with a rule associated to the node in question, convert the documents into a PDFs format.
The Alfresco instance is running on WnXP, LibreOffice is running as a headless instance on a CentOS 6.4
I followed the links cited here after to add OpenOffice support to my Alfresco instance but seems to don't work actually. I have an exception when the rule is trying to start.

My configuration :

<property name="documentFormatsConfiguration">
<value>classpath:alfresco/mimetype/openoffice-document-formats.xml</value>
</property>
</bean>
and added tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/mimetype/openoffice-document-formats.xml
there are no firewall between the Alfresco host and the openOffice host
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

StackOverflowError is normally caused by endless (or at least excessive) recursion. Since you mention a Rule, is it possible that the outcome of your Rule (e.g. modifying or creating a node) triggers the Rule again, causing an endless sequence?
What exactly is the Rule you are using? Does it trigger upon any mimetype, or just a Word document, for example?
Is there just a single Rule on that folder, or several?
