Manipulate WORD document via Java

say i am going to transfer a WORD document from tomcat server to client to allow modification and then save back to the server. The thing is server provides service only with tomcat that i can not use IIS to write some ASP plus ActiveX.
What should be such a pattern if only Java technology is applied?

client can get the WORD file using HTTP GET, after modification, client can post the modified file back to server using multipart/form-data format.

How To Create MS-Word Document in JAVA ?

I want to create a MS-Word Document using JAVA.
then i want to create table in that document.
is there any way through which i can create a Object of MS-Word in JAVA.

As far as I know. There is no support. And you can't get the file format specification for MS Word documents.
My advice is to look in to RTF, the spec is out there, although its not very nice.
I think you can do tables in RTF, and you just need to write your output as text and MS word will load it.
One thing to do is create a table in Word and save it as RTF, then look at the text and try to see whats going on. Although it won't be pretty !! Good luck

HOW TO OPEN WORD DOCUMENT FROM JAVA???

hi everyone! Can you please help me to come with this problem? Let me to set my main target I want to achieve:
1) In my program user should first press a button;
2) Then already created Word Document should be opened (I DO NOT NEED to open that Word Document in Java or something like JField). Just simply it should be opened as a Microsoft Word Document.
I DO NEED YOUR HELP! PLEASE HELP ME....!

Running cmd using the exec is also a windows only solution, there is no "more" or "less" it that solution compared to the rundll.
Since word is a windows format its pretty obvious that the application is ran under windows platform.
If you are running on a different platform (maybe using open office you can open word documents, i'm not sure) you might want to use the JDIC library (https://jdic.dev.java.net/) which enables you to open/edit/browse such files using the default viewer/editor/browser of the system you are working on.
Look at the org.jdesktop.jdic.desktop.Desktop object for these methods.
You can also find the Desktop object in J2SE6 but its still in beta.

When I receive word documents via my yahoo on my mac, the format always come up as a TEXTEDIT doc. This is causing me serious problems. How do I enable my documents to open in the original format it was sent?

Do you have Microsoft Word installed on your Mac? If so, you can reassign all .doc files to Word by selecting the file in Finder and choosing "File > Get Info" from the menu. In the window that opens look for "Open with" and change the entry to "Microsoft Word".

I used to be able to send document as a PDF or Word Document via email using the toolbar.

I used to be able to send Pages documents as a PDF or Word Document via email using the Pages toolbar (not the iWork feature). Lately, it hasn't been working at all. No email pops up; just nothing. Is anyone else having this problem? Any solutions? I'm running Pages '09 version 4.1.

This Apple Express Helper is a dumb one.
File names with # and $ are perfectly treated by the share to Mail feature.
What is rejected is the slash (/) and it's perfectly normal.
Since the delivery of the first version of OS X, slash is an illegal character in file names.
Apple thought that it would be fair to build a piece of code taking care of such chars because they were valid ones in the older operating systems.
But they expected that users will drop these chars. Alas they didn't and users like you are continuing to play with matches.
At last, OS X 10.7 removed the extraneous code and now, hosanna, iWork refuse to export files whose name contain the infamous slash.

Generating reports in .doc format (Word Document) using Java POI - HWPF

Hi
Can anybody help me how to generate the report in .doc format using POI API?
Please share the sample code, if you have.
Thanks in Advance
Dhilip

Hi,
I dont think that your requirement has to do with ADF capabilities.
You want to edit a word document with JAVA. For that reason, you will need an API, as the suggestions above.
You can do it without ADF and by using standard JAVA and the API of your choice. a static void main will do for that matter.
ADF comes into the game when you want to handle the document with your ADF application.
This means that you either want to get your new data to be placed on your doc from BC or any other DataControl or you want to do something else with ADF..
My guess is that you want to get data from ADF into your Doc.
You could create an API on handling your Doc and then use it into your ADF application.

Dimitris.

Desktop.print() is the simplest way.

If Word is installed, it should start word with the file as an argument and whatever parameter it takes to tell Word to print it.
If you don't have anything installed that can view/print words files (or the correct entries are missing in the registry), then it won't work, of course.

Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat. By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.

Opening a word document in Java

HI
I am new to java. I am trying to open a word document when user press the button. I just want to open the document that exists on my computer. I have tried using exec() method of Runtime class. But I was not succeed. Here the code that I have used.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)     {
     String str = ae.getActionCommand();
     if(str.equals("Search")){
          Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
          Process p = null;
          try{
               p = r.exec("C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\OFFICE11\\WINWORD.exe C:\\Resume\\coverletter.doc");
          }catch (IOException e){
               System.out.println("Error");
repaint();
Here "Search" is th name of Button.
So if anyone have a solution please help me regarding to this.
Thank you

Use java.awt.Desktop (available since Java 6), it provides a .open() method that will open any file with the users associated application (so no dangerous hardcoding of application paths necessary).
If you insist on using Runtime.exec, then you must read [When Runtime.exec() wont|http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html].

How to open Word Document using java?

Respected Sir/ Madam,
I am doing my project in Network Security using java. I have to transfer the files from server to the client. Each transferred file should have some of the access privileges such as read, write and exeucte. If the transferred file is a word document means then automatically the client should open Microsoft word and if the file is having Read Permission alone then the save, Save As, cut,copy, paste options in the MS - Word should be disabled. This is similar for all the files that i have transferred. That is if the transferred file is excel, audio, video,txt file the corresponding application should be opened properly. How could I acheive this. If the file is having write permission then if the user clicks the save option then the contents of the file should be saved in the server machine not in the client machine, Could we achieve this???? Can anyone help me regarding this? Please give me your views about this query?

Respected Sir / Madam,
Thank you very much for your reply. Could we use Microsoft API inside java program to achieve my doubts?? Could U explain it more????
