To save html page as word document into database

[kanthi84]

Hi Friends

I am doing a project using requesthandlers and ejb. In that, the user is given a provision to enter his comments and suggestions in the text area provided in the html page. After entering his comments, these are stored into the database as blob and when edit is clicked these blobs are retrieved from database.
Now the actual problem comes. an option to save and preview is provided.

What i need is, on clicking save button the html page has to be automatically converted to word document and get saved into the database.Because if the user wants to preview, it should be displayed as word document and can be in the form of a report to be printed


i really need help and very soon

hope u all will help me

When storing inthe database we do not store as .doc or .htm. It is the retrieve that should display as word. Just store into the database as Strings or BOLB or whatever supported datatypes. When you want to view the data, then get the data into required format for displaying.

Ok. I know that usually data is saved as blob into the database. but, the problem is, how to store the Template into the database?
by saving as blob and retrieving it will display only the contents. i need to display the heading and the content below that which is saved as blob in database.

And help me with the code to view the data and getting it into the required format for displaying

You have to find a way of string the template as text in the database or as an image.

You view the data by retrieving it using jdbc into a resultset object and then you can use a package e.g poi package to create a .doc for displaying the data as a .doc

If you want a properly formatted .doc, you will hava to use a ready made Java package for that. You might have to ask in the Javascript forum to find out if the same can be done in Javascript.
