How to Read Write Word Doc

[Qgh Rohgy <qu...@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

I have a requirement to update a Word Doc using Java.

I know that HDF can be used for this purpose. But have
noticed that this is in the 'scratchpad section' and
also there is not much documentation avaliable (like
java docs, How to guide etc)

Could anyone please let me know :-
1) Should I use POI HDF API? i.e. is it complete with
all desired functionality?
2) Where can I find more documentation on it?
3) What are the other options that I have regarding
reading and writing Word Doc.


Thanks in advance,
qgh

Singlethreaded/win32:  do so with VB and launch word as an OLE server.
singlethreaded/heavy/multiplatform/native: Use the OpenOffice java apis
Multi-threaded/multiplatform:  I've never used anything that did this.  
I remember seeing several
expensive products that did this in my google search.
