Jakarta POI to generate MS Word documents

[mlv2312]

Hi,

I am dealing with the following problem: I need to generate some word
reports by opening a default word template. So, I must be able to read
the word template and REPLACE some generic fields by placing data from
an XML file.

I was studying Jakarta POI HWPF, but its implementation hasn't
finished yet.

So, I was wondering if it is possible to use POIFS to do what I am
intending to:
open a word template and generate a word report using POIFS. Is it
possible?

How could I do this?

Tks,
Marcelo

When I've had to do this I've used XML > HTML then open Word and have a
macro that imports the HTML and supplies any final tweaks to the format.
Not perfect but it works and it beats having to navigate the dire Word
object model.
