Hello, You can use the framework of Apache POI which allows you to manipulate files in Microsoft (Excel, Word, etc..) Java. He'll just have to use the values retrieved for display in the form of your JSP. I am not able to create coding for it, as it will need to consider the all of the details from the document and then it is needed to add the data to the form. So, it is quiet complicated. So, you need to work more on it.

It seems so complicated. You may be trying to isolate the "administrative" to resume searching for patterns containing the address, phone, etc. Usually the name first placed it. It can then be isolated in this block, a string type "FIRST NAME" or "FIRST NAME". This will create a problem while creating the project. We could go through a table containing a list of names but whatever happens, the filling of the name / first name in your form from any resume will never suddenly run on to 100%.

Hello, I am having the code below which will simply provide you more help for getting the solution.

Code:

import org.apache.poi.poifsfilesystem.filesystem .*;
import org.apache.poi.hwpf .*;
import org.apache.poi.hwpf.extractor .*;
import java.io. *;
Public class viewDoc 
{
     Public static void hand(String[] args) 
{ 
        String fname = "slim.hwpfdoc";
        POIFSFileSystem fsfilesystem = null;
        try{
        fsfilesystem = new POIFSFileSystem(new FileInputStream(fname) );
        HWPFDocument hwpfdoc = new HWPFDocument(fsfilesystem);
         WordExtractor wordextractor = new WordExtractor(hwpfdoc);
         
          String[] str = wordextractor.getParagraphText();

          System.out.System.out.println( "Word hwpfdocument has" + Paragraphs.length + "Paragraphs" );
          for( int i =0; I <str.length; I + + ) {
            str[i] = Paragraph[i].replaceAll("\\cM?\ r?\ n","");
                   System.out.System.out.println( "Length"+ str[ i ].length());
          }
               }
               catch(Exception e) { 
                   e.printStackTrace();
               }
        } 
}

Hello, if you want to add the application context to the URL of the servlet then you must need to make use of the code below:

Code:

<a href ="<% = request.getContextPath () +"/ Verification"%>"> RSS </ a>

If you want to avoid the more difficult coding in your program then you can simply get the use of the method of the getContextPath () of HttpServletRequest like the code above.
