Hello Peter,
I suspect that the reason you got very few replies - well OK, I admit it
none - was because users of POI tend not to use the API in just that manner.
I think it is safe to say they would probably do something like the
following;
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("MyFile.docx"));
XWPFDocument doc = new XWPFDocument(fis);
That is not going to be the case for 100% of the API's users of course but I
suspect it is the most common idiom. Therefore, there are few with the
knowledge or expertise to respond to your question - and I count myself in
that group. I fear you will have to wait for one of the developers to pick
up your question and I would ask you to bear in mind that many will be at
ApacheCon in the coming week.
Yours
Mark B
