Hi friends,
I am trying to extract the contents of ODT files for indexing.
Let me elaborate.
 
The following are the steps i follow to extract the contents of the odt file:
 
Steps
1 - convert the odt file into a temporary zip file.
2 - loop thru the files inside and retrieve the 'content.xml' file.
3 - the actual content of the ODT file resides in an xml element called <text:p>
4 - index the contents retrieved from <text:p>
 

I am having trouble in step 3.
I do not have the content.xml's schema. Only with the schema, i can generate the respective java classes of the elements.
 
Pls guide me

I am using JAXB to extract from the 'content.xml' file in the odt. I am unable to get the XML Schema of the content.xml file. I tried generating it from the xml using hitsw site. But it doesn't work.

Sorry, but that really does not help anyone to guess what might be wrong. Take a look at this article[^] for guidance on reading XML data.

Hey friends,
 
I have found an alternative. I am using SAX instead of JAXB now. I already had this option, but i personally preferred JAXB owing to performance.
