|

|
|
||||||
|
<source>/* Print a single section: */
|
||||||
|
Section sec = (Section) i.next();
|
||||||

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
/* Print the number of properties in this section. */
|
||||||
|
int propertyCount = sec.getPropertyCount();
|
||||||
|
out(" No. of properties: " + propertyCount);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
/* Print the properties: */
|
||||||
|
Property[] properties = sec.getProperties();
|
||||||
|
for (int i2 = 0; i2 < properties.length; i2++)
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
/* Print a single property: */
|
||||||
|
Property p = properties[i2];
|
||||||
|
int id = p.getID();
|
||||||
|
long type = p.getType();
|
||||||
|
Object value = p.getValue();
|
||||||
|
out(" Property ID: " + id + ", type: " + type +
|
||||||
|
", value: " + value);
|
||||||
|
}</source>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The first method called on the <code>Section</code> instance is
|
||||||
|
<code>getFormatID()</code>. As explained above, the format ID of the first
|
||||||
|
section in a property set determines the type of the property set. Its
|
||||||
|
type is <code>ClassID</code> which is essentially a sequence of 16
|
||||||
|
bytes. A real application using its own type of a custom property set
|
||||||
|
should have defined a unique format ID and, when reading a property set
|
||||||
|
stream, should check the format ID is equal to that unique format ID. The
|
||||||
|
sample program just prints the format ID it finds in a section:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<source>String s = hex(sec.getFormatID().getBytes());
|
||||||
|
s = s.substring(0, s.length() - 1);
|
||||||
|
out(" Format ID: " + s);</source>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>As you can see, the <code>getFormatID()</code> method returns a
|
||||||
|
<code>ClassID</code> object. An array containing the bytes can be
|
||||||
|
retrieved with <code>ClassID.getBytes()</code>. In order to get a nicely
|
||||||
|
formatted printout, the sample program uses the <code>hex()</code> helper
|
||||||
|
method which in turn uses the POI utility class <code>HexDump</code> in
|
||||||
|
the <code>org.apache.poi.util</code> package. Another helper method is
|
||||||
|
<code>out()</code> which just saves typing
|
||||||
|
<code>System.out.println()</code>.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Before getting the properties, it is possible to find out how many
|
||||||
|
properties are available in the section via the
|
||||||
|
<code>Section.getPropertyCount()</code>. The sample application uses this
|
||||||
|
method to print the number of properties to the standard output:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<source>int propertyCount = sec.getPropertyCount();
|
||||||
|
out(" No. of properties: " + propertyCount);</source>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Now its time to get to the properties themselves. You can retrieve a
|
||||||
|
section's properties with the method
|
||||||
|
<code>Section.getProperties()</code>:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<source>Property[] properties = sec.getProperties();</source>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>As you can see the result is an array of <code>Property</code>
|
||||||
|
objects. This class has three methods to retrieve a property's ID, its
|
||||||
|
type, and its value. The following code snippet shows how to call
|
||||||
|
them:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<source>for (int i2 = 0; i2 < properties.length; i2++)
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
/* Print a single property: */
|
||||||
|
Property p = properties[i2];
|
||||||
|
int id = p.getID();
|
||||||
|
long type = p.getType();
|
||||||
|
Object value = p.getValue();
|
||||||
|
out(" Property ID: " + id + ", type: " + type +
|
||||||
|
", value: " + value);
|
||||||
|
}</source>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The output of the sample program might look like the following. It shows
|
||||||
|
the summary information and the document summary information property sets
|
||||||
|
of a Microsoft Word document. However, unlike the first and second section
|
||||||
|
of this HOW-TO the application does not have any code which is specific to
|
||||||
|
the <code>SummaryInformation</code> and
|
||||||
|
<code>DocumentSummaryInformation</code> classes.</p>

<p>There are some interestion items to note:</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>The first property set (summary information) consists of a single
|
||||||
|
section, the second property set (document summary information) consists
|
||||||
|
of two sections.</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>Each section type (identified by its format ID) has its own domain of
|
||||||
|
property ID. For example, in the second property set the properties with
|
||||||
|
ID 2 have different meanings in the two section. By the way, the format
|
||||||
|
IDs of these sections are <strong>not</strong> equal, but you have to
|
||||||
|
look hard to find the difference.</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<li>The properties are not in any particular order in the section,
|
||||||
|
although they slightly tend to be sorted by their IDs.</li>

documented in this HOW-TO. You should dig into the Javadoc API

documentation to learn further details. Since you struggled through this
