Apache POI 2007 word documents

[Leo Max]

My app takes in the location of hte .docx document and prints the first 3 lines. I'm getting an error at the line i marked xxx. The exception is: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xmlbeans/XmlException

//this is what i imported
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFDocument;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.extractor.XWPFWordExtractor;

//this is the code that does the work
file1 = new File("c:\\documents and settings\\x\\desktop\\1.docx");
FileInputStream fis1 = new FileInputStream(file1.getAbsolutePath());
/****/ XWPFDocument document1 = new XWPFDocument(fis1);
extractor1 = new XWPFWordExtractor(document1);
System.out.println(extractor1.getText());

any ideas?

Thank you.

That would be because you didn't include the XML Beans jar in your classpath.

Hello. Ya I found out when I googled the error I got. I'm trying to find the jar file but with no luck. I downloaded xmlbeans from http://xmlbeans.apache.org/sourceAndBinaries/ but there was no jar extension. i downloaded it and extracted the contents but couldn't find a file called xmlbeans or xbeans or xmlbeans 2.4.0. I'm trying to find it online but no luck.
Now i'll apologize for asking the following but when you say class path, where exactly are you point to?

i would like to read the contents of an ms word 2007 document. does anyone have a code that i can read for this? I found the jar file online. finally. even tho i dont get an exception anymore, it's still not printing anything. so i wrote a fewy sys.print lines to find out where exactly am i gettin gstuck at and it's the same prb. for some reason, that line /****/ simply wont execute -_-

Fixed it. I hope this code helps whoever's in need

package javaapplication9;

import java.io.*;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFDocument;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.extractor.XWPFWordExtractor;

public class Main
 {
    public static void main(String[] args)
     {
        XWPFDocument doc;
        try
         {
            doc = new XWPFDocument(new FileInputStream("C:\\documents and settings\\x\\desktop\\1.docx"));
            XWPFWordExtractor wordxExtractor = new XWPFWordExtractor(doc);
            System.out.println(wordxExtractor.getText());
         }

        catch (IOException ex)
         {
            Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
         }
     }
}

the list of jar files you need to add when setting the classpath are:
dom4j-1.6.1.jar
xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar
poi-3.8-beta3-20110606.jar
poi-ooxml-3.83-20110606.jar
poi-ooxml-schemas-3.8-beta3-20110606.jar

i got these jar files from http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/poi/dev/src/poi-src-3.8-beta3-20110606.zip just extract the contents to a folder
