Class POIFSReader

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.poi.poifs.eventfilesystem.POIFSReader

public class POIFSReader
extends java.lang.Object

An event-driven reader for POIFS file systems. Users of this class first create an instance of it, then use the registerListener methods to register POIFSReaderListener instances for specific documents. Once all the listeners have been registered, the read() method is called, which results in the listeners being notified as their documents are read.

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - on errors reading, or on invalid data

### registerListener

    public void registerListener(POIFSReaderListener listener)

  Register a POIFSReaderListener for all documents

  Parameters:
    `listener` - the listener to be registered
  Throws:
    `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if listener is null
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if read() has already been called

### registerListener

    public void registerListener(POIFSReaderListener listener,
                                 java.lang.String name)

  Register a POIFSReaderListener for a document in the root directory

  Parameters:
    `listener` - the listener to be registered
    `name` - the document name
  Throws:
    `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if listener is null or name is null or empty
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if read() has already been called

### registerListener

    public void registerListener(POIFSReaderListener listener,
                                 POIFSDocumentPath path,
                                 java.lang.String name)

  Register a POIFSReaderListener for a document in the specified directory

  Parameters:
    `listener` - the listener to be registered
    `path` - the document path; if null, the root directory is assumed
    `name` - the document name
  Throws:
    `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if listener is null or name is null or empty
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if read() has already been called
