Rainer,

You misunderstand my intent in posing the question. I know not what a Sprm even is (well, with the missing vowel added I do), it was more of a OO question with regard to the libraries. That's all.


I also would like to propose a change to TextPiece. There is a method called "getStringBuffer()". I am not sure under what conditions this would be appropriate, but overriding the "toString() {return getStringBuffer().toString();}

Would be nice.

Again, just throwing out my $.02

I noticed that the SprmIterator doesn't actually implement the Iterator interface. I mean, it implements 2 of the functions but simply doesn't "implements Iterator"

I was busy for a while with HWPF and as of my understanding the
SprmIterator should not be relevant for users of the library (in contrast
to developers of it). Don't get me wrong - but for which reason do you want
to take care of the SprmIterator? (If you're still after the DOT-handling
you should not need to worry about it, or am I missing something?)

Sorry, I know this is a "new List()" I am on (pun intended) but I know that the libraries are also developmental.

As far as I see, the one who did the main development of HWPF is not
available for questions and clarifications any more. So a lot of things
have to be "explored" again. I am not sure, whether there is someone
available who could explain design decisions of HWPF :-)

Best wishes, Rainer
