This may or may not work, depending on the complexity of the mail
merge operation you need, but...
An RTF file is just a text file. If you save a copy of your doc as
RTF, with recognizable values in each field, you should be able to do
a simple text replace on the output with your db data. If you mail it
to someone with the appropriate mime type, it will show up as a word
doc, with all the formatting intact.
Obviously this approach has limitations, but you don't have to deal
with java to com bridges or hassle with climbing on top of the word
object model, and it would be a lot cheaper in terms of resources.
