<p align="justify">Microsoft applications like "Word" or "Excel" let the user describe his
|
|
|
|
|
document by properties like "title", "category" and so on. The application
|
|
|
|
|
itself adds further information: last author, creation date etc. These
|
|
|
|
|
properties are stored in so-called <em>property set streams</em>. A
|
|
|
|
|
property set stream is a separate document within a <a href="../poifs/index.html">POI filesystem</a>. HPSF is POI's pure-Java
|
|
|
|
|
implementation to read (and in future to write) property set streams.</p>

describe what a Java application should do to read a property set using
|
|

|
|
HPSF and retrieve the information it needs. Currently this is explained
|
|
|

|
in the javadocs of the <code>org.apache.poi.hpsf</code> package only.</p>
