How to read/write MS Word files?

[correro]

I need to read/write MS Word files (with tables in them) using Java API. How do I do it?

I've searched extensively online, checked Apache POI, but didn't get anything. If you happen to know, or have some experience in this, please kindly help! Thanks!

There are no core Sun Java API's to achieve this.

POI is what you want.

You can use OLE2 + JNI.

I know Apache POI might do it, or other solution like OLE2+JNI. But can you give some how-to, please? Thanks!

Can you please give me some how-to? Like a snippet of Java code that reads/writes Word files using POI API, or some detailed scheme involving OLE2+JNI? I've spent lots of time studying this, but in vain. I'd really appreciate your help.

Never used either, but searching the web found this :

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/j...g/apache/poi/hwpf/model/hdftypes/?hideattic=0

Which appears to be POI develoeper's junit tests - I'm sure you will be able to glean enough information about how to use POI
