[jdom-interest] Parsing Microsoft Word Documents

[Hugo Garcia]

Here is the code for future reference:

	public void run() throws FitException {
		fixtureDocumentProccessor = new FixtureDocumentProcessor();
		Document fixtureDocument = null;
		Document parsedFixtureDocument = null;
		try {
			SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder("org.cyberneko.html.parsers.SAXParser");
			builder.setFeature("http://cyberneko.org/html/features/scanner/ignore-specified-charset",false);
			builder.setProperty("http://cyberneko.org/html/properties/names/elems",
"lower");
			builder.setFeature("http://cyberneko.org/html/features/override-doctype",
false);
			URL fileURL = inputFile.toURL();
			fixtureDocument = builder.build(fileURL);
		} catch (IOException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (JDOMException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		parsedFixtureDocument = fixtureDocumentProccessor.parse(fixtureDocument);
		this.outputFitResults(parsedFixtureDocument);
	}


	private void outputFitResults(Document fitTestResult) {
		XMLOutputter xmlOutputter = new XMLOutputter(Format.getPrettyFormat());
		HTMLSerializer htmlSerializer = new HTMLSerializer();
		try {
			FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(
					this.outputFile);
			DOMOutputter converter = new DOMOutputter();
			org.w3c.dom.Document domDocument = converter.output(fitTestResult);
			OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(domDocument);
			HTMLSerializer html = new HTMLSerializer(fileOutputStream, format);
			html.serialize(domDocument);
		} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (JDOMException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
