So I have tried to extends OPCPackage by creating MyZipPackage (like you have done with your ZipPackage). But I cannot do that because of this code:----------------------------------------------------- OPCPackage(PackageAccess access) { if (getClass() != ZipPackage.class) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("PackageBase may not be subclassed"); } init(); this.packageAccess = access; }
The OPC code all came from the OpenXML4J project, which merged into Apache POI a few years ago.
When we came to start adding OpenXML support to POI, we depended on then later collaborated with the OpenXML4J project for the low level OPC support. At some point after that, the OpenXML4J project decided to join with POI, and that code came over
For the specific answer on why that restriction is there, I can't answer, as it's based on a decision made before the code came to POI. My hunch is that there are some deep baked assumptions in other parts of the OPC code which could be broken if things weren't backed by a ZipPackage
Given that, there might well be a way we could allow you to pass in your already open zip file, without breaking the assumptions elsewhere in the code. Could you clarify what kind of object(s) you already have open?
