How to create a Word document using Apache POI?

Question

How to create a Word document using Apache POI?

I am developing a resume editor for Atlassian Confluence as a commercial plugin.

I wish I had to ask about this, but I do not find textbooks that can help me.

Answer 1

The attached code file "DownloadAsMicrosoftWordDocument.java.txt" contains code for downloading files; no word document creation.

When you are looking to create a Word Document, refer to the links below:

HWPF link (.doc): There are no examples in the POI line like XWPF, however the Scratchpad POI has test files around it, please find

• POI Scratchpad
• Javadoc HWPFDocument
• Javadoc org.apache.poi.hwpf.usermodel

XWPF Link (.docx): Examples from Apache POI SVN Repo

• SimpleDocument.java
• SimpleImages.java
• SimpleTable.java
• UpdateEmbeddedDoc.java

And also link to POI Javadocs for XWPF (Word Document).

I hope this will provide a launch for you!
