you might be getting this error as you are trying to read docx or xlsx file.

just try with doc or xls file it might work.

also post what you have done so far.

there are two API available to read word doc files in java. which pretty much does everything needed

• Apache Poi
• Tika

Did u try these?

There is no api in poi that has support of HWPF+XWPF.

But Tika gives the support. i tried for getting the text from both doc and docx files, it works. i used the parseToString method in Tika which reads both doc and docx file contents.

Try playing around with Tika n see if it solves your purpose.
