I'm wondering if there is available, preferably as open source freeware, a
Java programming interface to Microsoft Office products, especially Microsoft
Word.
I am working on a Java application for a client which needs to be able to create Microsoft Word documents from data passed to it.
If there is no such API available, are there any C or C++ API's available? Microsoft's website lists languages like VBA and JScript as interfaceable, but not Java. Apache is working on an API, but the project is in the early stages from what I understand.
Any direction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
