Revisiting Apache POI

A while ago I wrote a blog post about investigations into Apache POI.

In one of our recent sprint's we have decided to bring this service into the KnowledgeTree system. We have expanded the services of the existing Java XML-RPC service by refactoring it to allow for other services, one of which is the new interface to the Apache POI library.

What this means is we have completed step 1 of the document tracking system, which is the component of actually writing the GUID's into documents downloaded or checked out of KnowledgeTree.

Our next step will be to complete the upload component, which will scan incoming documents for our GUID's and try and automatically place the documents in the correct place in KnowledgeTree without user intervention.

Keep an eye out for these new features in future KnowledgeTree releases.
