I have a component that registers on the GlobalEventBroadcaster to listen for new documents (OnCreate event) to do some processing on every text document that is opened. Now I have the problem that OpenOffice.org broadcasts these events even for internal documents that it creates temporarily. For instance when I insert an AutoText, OOo apparently creates a text document in the background and broadcasts and OnCreate event for it. When doing a MailMerge it creates lots of these background documents.
This creates all kinds of trouble. For instance these documents are quickly disposed which causes DisposedExceptions in my component and while my component catches these and can deal with the situation, OOo becomes unstable and eventually crashes or freezes when this happens too often during mail merge. I think OOo should not even broadcast events for these documents. They are implementation details subject to change. Components have no business dealing with them. But anyway, how do I ignore these documents? And how do I avoid the race condition between me testing if this is an internal document that I should ignore and the OOo internal code disposing the document potentially before I had the chance to test it.
