First, when asking a new question, it's best to start a new subject.
Your question has nothing to do with the rest of the thread....
That said, you want to create a Reader to pass along. I'd think about
doing this by subclassing your MSWord class from the Reader class
and providing the necessary implementation of the abstract read method.

I am trying to index msword documents. I've got things working but I do

think I am doing things properly.
To index msword docs I use an extractor to extract the text. Then I write
the text to a .txt file and index that using an HTLMDocument object. Seems
to me that since I have the text I should be able to just do a
Doc.add("content", the_text_from_the_word_doc, ???, ???);
But looking at Document.java it seems the field "content" requires a
reader.
So I write a temporary file to satified that requirement.
What I would like to have is an MSWORDDocument class that would take the
extracted text as a argument to the constructor and create a Ducument
object
that I could get.
If any one has any idea, please let me know.
Here is a code segment. Notice the msword hack,
/*
* make a document
*/
try
{
if (ftype.startsWith("text"))
{
doc = HTMLDocument.Document(f);
}
else if (ftype.equals("application/pdf"))
{
doc = LucenePDFDocument.getDocument(f);
}
else if (ftype.equals("application/msword"))
{
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(f.getAbsolutePath());
WordExtractor extractor = new WordExtractor(fin);
String content = extractor.getText();
if(debug) System.out.println(content);
String tempFileName=f.getAbsolutePath() + ".txt";
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(tempFileName,
false));
bw.write((String) content.toString());
bw.close();
File df = new File(tempFileName);
doc = HTMLDocument.Document(df);
df.delete();
}
else if (ftype.equals("binary"))
{
return null;
}
else
{
if(debug) System.out.println("Unknown file type not ascii or pdf.");
doc = HTMLDocument.Document(f);
}
}
catch(java.lang.InterruptedException ie)
{
throw ie;
}
catch(java.io.IOException ioe)
{
throw ioe;
}
Thanks in advance
