Partially solved! The CLASSPATH-environment variable must also have the directory listed, in which soffice resides. The shell script to create the needed environment on Apple looks like:
UNO_PATH=/Applications/OpenOffice.org.app/Contents/program export PATH=$PATH:$UNO_PATH OOOJAVA=/Applications/OpenOffice.org.app/Contents/basis-link/ure-link/share/java export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:*$UNO_PATH*:$OOOJAVA/juh.jar:$OOOJAVA/jurt.jar:$OOOJAVA/ridl.jar:$OOOJAVA/java_uno.jar:$OOOJAVA/unoloader.jar It is now possible to start OOo employing the OOo Java APIs. --- There is one problem (not occurring on Windows and Linux) left, which maybe someone has an idea about: [java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException], getCause(): [com.sun.star.lang.DisposedException: com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.star.frame.XDesktop] \\\ BSF4ooRexx subfunction "invoke": object 'java.lang.Class@1db699b' - method [FINDINTERFACEWITHMEMBER], method not found or error (exception) executing method!]] The flow is as follows: * after bootstrapping the received context is stored in a Java class which uses the context later for reflection, * then the "com.sun.star.frame.Desktop" service object is created with that context, * then the XDesktop interface is queried using reflection; this is where the error occurs: o unwrapping the wrapped exceptions (with getCause()) yields the string: + "com.sun.star.lang.DisposedException: com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.star.frame.XDesktop" If it is a disposed exception, then the cached context or the service object are candidates for that to occur. However, on Windows and Linux this does not happen as there are (global) references to these Java objects which should inhibit any disposals.
