How to Output Rtf

Question

I need to create an app that reads text from text files and outputs the text to an rtf file, which will later be read into a Word document.
Although my app will not contain any kind of UI, I've discovered that the javax.swing.text and javax.swing.text.rtf packages might let me accomplish my goals. I also found following snippet, which illustrates how to output some RTF:
private void writeFile()
     FileOutputStream stream;
     try
          stream = new FileOutputStream("test.rtf");
          RTFEditorKit kit = new RTFEditorKit();
          Document doc = kit.createDefaultDocument();
          SimpleAttributeSet bold = new SimpleAttributeSet();
          StyleConstants.setBold(bold, true);
          doc.insertString(0, "TITLE", bold);
          doc.insertString(doc.getLength(), "\n\r" , null);
          doc.insertString(doc.getLength(), "Bla bla bla", null);
          doc.insertString(doc.getLength(), "bla bla bla", null);
          kit.write(stream, doc, 0, doc.getLength());
     catch (FileNotFoundException e)
          e.printStackTrace();
     catch (IOException e)
          e.printStackTrace();
     catch (BadLocationException e)
          e.printStackTrace();
}What I need to do now is figure how to create the RTF for a table. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks much...

Hi pdevaal,
Thanks for reply, For first question I test it and it works but it is possible to add MIMETYPE on server other wise I have to modify every Run report procedure for this to work.
For second question I just view the slide show by Oracle to create template for spreadsheet output.
