Can you upload sample files created with Office 2010 beta that POI cannot process? I exercised POI trunk against .xlsx and .pptx created with the latest build of Office 2010 beta and saw no problems.
The build number is 14.0.4514.1004.

I don't think we should worry about files created with MS Office 2007 beta because they are not fully conformant to the OOXML specification. The only reasonable workaround is to unzip the OOXML package and extract interesting bits using SAX or XPath.

Hello,

I stumbled upon a problem of having to process files created with MS Office 2007 beta and Office 2010 beta, i.e. files with wrong namespaces.

I searched the archives and found this http://bit.ly/aehVMw. It is clear enough. "Wrong" namespaces are not supported, and files created with office beta versions are unreadable with POI.

But my question to the POI developers is:

If I'm desperate enough to hack POI and add support for broken files by myself, where should I start looking? I thought about trying to make xmlbeans namespace-blind, or to accept more than one namespace. Do you think it's possible?

I'm a complete poi newbie, don't even know how stupid this question might be :).
