I need to modify only the Open Office file metadata. How I can do it without loading the entire file into memory (file.odt)? I need to work only with the file: meta.xml and label: ... metadata ...

I'm using Apache ODF Toolkit 0.5-incubating. My code loads the meta.xml file but I can not get metadata:

OdfPackage pkg = OdfPackage.loadPackage(new File("file.odt"));
Node d = pkg.getDom("meta.xml").getElementsByTagName("office:document-meta").item(0);

for(int i =0; i<d.getAttributes().getLength();i++) {
  String nombre = d.getAttributes().item(i).getNodeName();
  String valor = d.getAttributes().item(i).getNodeValue();
  System.out.println("Clave: " + nombre + " valor: " + valor);
}

    Which do you want - Open Office format (OOXML), or Open Document Format (ODF)? Only you mention both in your question! – Gagravarr Sep 10 '13 at 17:17
  • I'm working with Open Document Format files (*. odt, *. ods, *. odp). The only tool I've seen to work with them is Apache ODF Toolkit – user2671914 Sep 10 '13 at 18:05

If you want to work with a range of file formats, the Apache Tika is your best bet. Tika provides a common interface for extracting text and metadata from a large number of formats, and hides the complexity of the different types and formats from you.

On the command line, to extract the metadata from this sample file you'd do

java -jar tika-app-1.4.jar --metadata quick.odt

And you'd get back a huge amount of metadata:

From Java, you could get the same with something as simple as

TikaConfig tika = TikaConfig.getDefaultConfig();
Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
ParseContext context = new ParseContext();

InputStream input = TikaInputStream.get(new File("test.ods"));

tika.getParser().parse(input, null, metadata, context);

And you'd get the metadata on the Metadata object

You can use OdfDocument Package provided by org.odftoolkit. You can get the dependency here => https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.odftoolkit/odfdom-java

You can parse your document

OdfDocument odfDocument = OdfDocument.loadDocument(new URL(URLPath).openStream());

And get metadata like for example

wordCount = odfDocument.getOfficeMetadata().getDocumentStatistic().getWordCount();
