HDF status

[Dennis Thrysøe <de...@conscius.com>]

Hi,

I've started looking into HDF a bit. And I'm somewhat confused what the 
current status is, since I cannot get it to work with a simple doc file:

java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException
	at 
org.apache.poi.hdf.model.HDFObjectFactory.createListTables(HDFObjectFactory.java:642)

Is it currently being worked on? Is it supposed to function to some extent?

Is there any documentation that I could use to look further into a 
problem like the above? I'm having a difficult time figuring out what's 
supposed to be going on, and what lfo, lst, and similar symbols represent.

Right. The problem is fixed in the newest nightly. I would check out 
from CVS, if I were to make any changes to the code.

However, I don't have insights into what's currently going on and where 
HDF is going.

As far as I can see there is something implemented (encapsulated in 
HDFDocument) that reads the .doc file or something. But afterwards 
theres not much to do with a HDFDocument. But I may be mistaken?

I'm working on a content management system. We'd probably need to 
read/generate HDF files at some point. It may even be interesting for us 
to help out with something.

This was a known bug that was fixed.  Check out
<http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17208>.  Are you working
with the with the main trunk?  If not, suggest you update from CVS.
