Sorry, I have little experience in this area, but it seems like a good
way to do it. I just don't remember how to launch a second copy of OOo
using a different profile. I used a different google search this time
and found...

Andrew,
Thanks for replying. Yes, I want only the instance of OpenOffice that is
launched from my java application to be listening. If a user launches
OpenOffice any other way, it would not be listening on the same port. I too
have had unreliable results with oooforum.org and have done an extensive search
on the web for this topic. Your suggestion about the two instances is
interesting, thanks for it. I may look into that.
Lastly, placing:
<prop oor:name="ooSetupConnectionURL">
<value>socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager</value
</prop>
Into the maind.xcd file seems to be unreliable. Is there something else that I
should be doing to launch OpenOffice in listening mode?

Is it possible to open a single instance of calc via loadComponentFromURL() in

define editing a Setup.xcu file, but the information here,
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=117803, says that Setup.xcu no
longer exist in version 3.3. Apparently, I could update the main.xcd file, but
I only want listening mode when a specific application opens calc because
another application will need to close that instance. I'd prefer not use a
script to launch soffice -accept=socket,host=0,port=2002;urp;.

My initial reaction is that "Calc does not listen, OpenOffice listens".
So are you saying that as soon as a Calc document is opened, you want OOo to
start listening? Off hand, I don't think that you can do that. I believe that
the choice must be made when OOo begins (not sure how that plays into the whole
quick-starter stuff).
You do not mention your operating system, but, you might be able to configure
another copy of OOo for a different user or location that is configured to use
it. I have seen comments on this in the past, I don't remember the details. I
ran a quick google query using
running two instances of OOo at the same time
and it returned links into oooforum.org, which has been highly unreliable
lately, and I could not connect. Give it a try and maybe it will work for you.
The idea is to use two different OOo profiles so that you can have two
different instances. Then, you can choose which instance you want to run.
