Java to microsoft word communication

I am a s/w engineer involved in the creation of an intranet application .One module deals with this criteria:- the details entered from the jsp page has to be converted into a to a word document.The word document has to have headers and footers.Is it possible with java.
if possible can any one help me in guiding me in the process of doing so.
The actual formatting has to take place from the file that I am creating from java.
Thanks for your suggestions in advance.

Sounds like a job to be done via OLE/ActiveX-Automation.
Would create a DLL which access Word via Automation interface to create document, put in text, do formating etc, etc. Is most easy to create this DLL with Visual C++ because they have some wizards, which can create the automation wrapper for word automatically. Doing this manually is nasty stuff.
This DLL which "rides" word can be used from your Java app via JNI.
Hope this helps.

Can JAVA read Microsoft word document?

Hi
I am trying to make a program that read a word document, and split the document in to each pages and save each pages with file as it's footer of each pages.

Is there any way to import word document and process like that above?
I have searched about this, and found out 'Jakarta POI' can access to word document but with many restrictions. (I heard it doesn't support word version 2003 and 97)
Can any one please answer this?
Thankx

I'm not really sure that java is the best language to use for this particular project. I haven't looked into writing a standalone application to do this sort of thing, but Microsoft Word has a built in VB editor that allows you to write scripts that will do this very simply, using Word's Document Object Model.
I would imagine the same sort of the thing could be done from a Stand-alone aplication as well, but you might need some libraries for reading the document and obtaining the object with the same model. I would look into Microsoft's .net solutions for this one. You might even be able to work out a solution in C++, C#, or even J# (which I understand is "similar" to java), if you don't know visual basic.
It is possible that there is a library out there that will read a Word Document, and create the appropriate Java object with the same object model, but I don't know where it can be found.
Anyway, if the option is available to you, take a look at Microsoft's .Net. You'll probably have more luck that way. Good Luck!

Searching a string in Microsoft word from a Jav Application

Would appreciate if you could provide me with an example/ suggestion to search for a string in Microsoft Word document from a java aplication. Thanks

Short and rude answer: STFW.
Long and polite answer: If you use "java apache word excel" as the criterium to search the web with Google, the first hit is what we are looking for:
http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/
Good luck anyway!

Embedding Microsoft Word in Java

Hi,
i want to embed Microsoft word in my java application. Can anyone one tell me how to embed word in java. By embedding, I don't mean to invoke word from java. I want to use word as an editor in java.
Thanks,

COM-JAVA bi-directional bridge can be used to transfer calls between Java-COM-Java. Almost all the MS products come as COM Components which by COM specifications can be reused or upgraded with out any need for recompilation.
By using bi-directionaly bridge we can make such a way that Word is extended from Canvas and add to any java component. All the connection points (In COM Tech, Connection points are used for event firing) can be converted as events and methods calls can be directed thru bridge.
I checked out JIntegra. Its good and working fine. They give u a limited time evaluation version and after that you have to pay. Check out JIntegra at linar.com
Check this thread for a sample code. It shows how I can use IE in panel.

Can Java be used to parse Microsoft Word(.doc) files?

Hi guys ,
I want to know whether Java can be used to parse Microsoft Word(.doc) files for searching a string or for checking for grammatical errors, etc
Thanks in advance.
Avichal

Hey man, anything and every thing can be done these days.
About ur question doc is like all other normal text files with some extra features and extra character supports and other stuffs.
If u neglect those parts and if u consider it to be a normal text file then its a much simpler job.
Here is a code that searches for the key word in all the doc files, txt files, pdf files and html files
in the mentioned folder and sub folders. Any way its a servlet u can change it to a normal program.
It first check the file to know whether they are doc, pdf, html or txt files if yes then it will read the file and
store the contents in the vector and parse the vector for the search string and display the result.
Along with the result the below code will also display the time taken and the number of search string found in the document

Copying from Oracle SQL Developer to Microsoft Word doesn't retain formatting (Font,colors etc)

Copying from Oracle SQL Developer Worksheet doesn't retain formatting (font,color etc...)in Microsoft Word but copying from other programs such as
visual studio, chrome browser etc works fine. This doesn't work even after changed the setting to Keep Source formatting of Options-> Copy and Paste Settings

Hi,
I notice that you have cross posted in Answers forum and Oracle forum. Have you tried Mr. Peter's suggestion?
Then, I recommend we check the Word settings:
1. Go to: Options > Advanced > Cut, Copy and Paste
2. Make sure that Use smart cut and paste is ticked.
3. Click the Settings button next to this option
4. Make sure that Smart Style
Behavior is checked.
If the issue still exists, please upload a sample through One Drive, I want to test.

Whenever I try to open a certain document on Microsoft word it keeps saying it is unable to find the document. How do I find it?

I typed a 10 page paper. And when I went to submit it to my class online the document was grey and it had no information and it wouldn't let me open it; like it was corrupted. When I do click on it, it says that Microsoft Word is unable to find my document.
When I click would you like to locate it yourself, it brings me to all my documents but it is no where to be found on my computer. How do I retrieve it?

Hi Jessica,
From where did you open the file for editing originally? Have you saved it properly before you submit it?
As Paul mentioned above, in some cases, corrupted documents are rarely recoverable. Do you have a backup of that file? Or elaborate a little bit about your situation for further assistance.

Microsoft Word "Smart Quotes"

I hope this will save other developers some time.
This may be obvious to others, but I just spent several hours Googling and testing to determine what actually happens when a user copies text containing "Smart Quotes" from Microsoft Word into a Java JTextComponent. For those not familiar with Smart Quotes, by default, MS Word changes double-quoted strings from using the US-ASCII character for quote (0x22) into left- and right- curly quotes (UTF-16: 0x201c and 0x201d). Word also does this with serveral other characters. This plays havoc with the display and Java Strings later encoded with java.beans.XMLEncoder, unless treated carefully. Here is what I discovered (obviously, this applies to MS Windows):
All values are in hexadecimal.
- Word is storing the character for double quote as UTF-16 internally (201C).
- When the character is copied to the clipboard, it is copied as UTF-8 (E2 80 9C).
- When the clipboard is pasted into Java, Java is assuming the it was originally Windows-1252 encoded, because that is the default for the US-EN locale in Windows XP (probably also Vista, but I only tested in XP).
- Java translates this into a-circumflex, euro-sign, o-e-ligature, the characters corresponding to E2, 80, and 9C respectively in Windows-1252 and represents it internally in UTF-16 as 00E2 20AC 0153.
-When the String is XML-encoded using java.beans.XMLEncoder, it is written in UTF-8 as C3A2 E282AC C593, which equates to UTF-16 00E2 20AC 0153 -- the characters a-circumflex, euro-sign, o-e-ligature.
I am not sure how to fix this, but maybe another reader does. I am experimenting with the Clipboard (java.awt.datatransfer) to see if I can programmatically find out the original character encoding (in this case, UTF-16).

Doesn't the DataFlavor contain the character encoding? What is the content of the InputStream returned by
            InputStream is = (InputStream)contents.getTransferData(DataFlavor.getTextPlainUnicodeFlavor());
If I use
                DataFlavor df = DataFlavor.getTextPlainUnicodeFlavor();
                String mimeType = df.getMimeType();
                String encoding = mimeType.replaceAll(".*?charset=(.*?)\\s*$", "$1");
                InputStream is = (InputStream) contents.getTransferData(df);
                ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
                for (int count = 0; (count = is.read(buffer)) != -1;)
                    baos.write(buffer, 0, count);
                baos.close();
                result = baos.toString(encoding);to transfer
Hello "World"
which Word changes the quotes to the smart 'smart quotes' version I get as a result
Hello World
which is what I expect.
Am I missing something?
