Generate a Word Document

Question

Hi,
I want to generate a Word document and populate it with some values taken from my JAVA application.
Have you got any ideas on how to do this ?
Thanks a lot.

Yeh, sure!
Here are two methods that create and write a .txt file, or anything for that matter.
call them by using:
writeToFile("Hello World", "file.txt")If the file "file.txt" doesn't exist, it will be created by makeFile();
Hope this is of some help.
public void writeToFile(String text, String fileName) {
          File thisFile = new File(fileName);
          if(!thisFile.exists()) makeFile(fileName);// If the file doesn't exist, makeFile will be called
          try {
               FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
               byte data[] = text.getBytes();
               fos.write(data);
               fos.close();
          } catch (IOException e) {
               System.out.println("Error while writing to File.  ");
     public void makeFile(String fileName) {
          File file = new File(fileName);
          try {
               file.createNewFile();
          catch(IOException e) {
               System.out.println("ERROR while creating file.  ");
     }I'm not being rude or anything, but could I get some Duke Dollars for this - it's just that I'm running a bit low and have just spent quite a bit of time on this. But if you can't, it's cool, I understand.
Thanks
