problem with embedded OLE attachments
Hi, I was trying to parse a word file with an embedded OLE attachment and I
got this error...
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method
org.apache.poi.POIDocument.<init>(Lorg/apache/poi/poifs/filesystem/DirectoryNode;)V
from class org.apache.tika.parser.microsoft.WordExtractor
I dug into the source code and noticed that most of the methods in
microsoft.WordExtractor are set to private or protected.
I was wondering if the folks on this list thought that could be the source
of the error. It would make sense to me since the IllegalAccessError get's
thrown when two instances of the same class have been loaded by the class
loader in the jvm and the classes have been irreconcilably changed. The
usual work around for this error is to set the methods in the class that is
causing the error to public. But what does everyone else think?

Ok, I forgot to get rid of poi scratchpad and it worked without the errors.
Is there a work though if I need to use poi elsewhere in my code?

Thanks, that works!

You haven't got them all then. See the POI FAQ
<http://poi.apache.org/faq.html#faq-N10006> for how to check what jar
you're really using

Either use a custom classloader, or better yet just use the latest version
of Tika which uses the latest version of POI, and have everything run
against the most recent POI release

I do. But, when I deleted the jars from my classpath, I got the same error.
Additionally, is there a work around if I needed to have poi in my program?

Most likely you have mis-matched jars on your classpath. You need to
ensure you have the same copy of POI that came with the version of Tika
that you're using, and don't have any other ones. I suspect you either are
using a different set of POI jars, or have two sets
