Hi Joerg,

I am actually also not sure, whether this belongs in a core api. This function is a nice helper for starting to program with the office but it hides too much away imho ( if the office process cannot be reached, the function loops endlessly, it always an office process even when an office is running, etc.) to be used in a professional application.
that bootstrap currently starts an office process is an implementation detail only. Actually we chose the wrong name for it, when we implemented it. The right name would have been something like

Reference<XComponentContext> getComponentContext();

The semantics are, that this function returns the systems (which could be a process, a user, a host, a LAN, a WAN, ...) component context.

The height of the abstraction allows us, to basically implement / optimize everything behind the scenes, while providing a compelling and simple to use interface for developers.

In my understanding, especially "professional" developers want to mostly deal with the customers problem, and less with nasty API details.

Bye,

Joerg
