If you just want to send the Word document to Word on the client then the
simplest way is to redirect to the .doc file. You could also try setting
the MIME type of the response to "application/msword" and sending the
document as a stream of data.
If, on the other hand, you want to extract data from the Word document on
the server, you will have to find a way to use the Word COM or ActiveX
interface from Java. I think it's supposed to be possible with M$ VJ++.
This is all theoretical - I've never done it myself.
