Export HTML with data to MS Word

We have a requirement where we are asking our customers to fill the BRD document which is in a HTML file. HTML consists of radio buttons, text box etc along with colors and table. We will have a button which when clicked should call a java class which exports the HTML along with data customer inputs to word document. We are successful in converting a HTML code which is given directly as a string in the java program to word document. We are having issues in sending the HTML along with data.

Can any one let me know how I can achieve this? Or is there any better way we can do this.

public class XhtmlToDocx {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        //String html = "<html><form><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"xhtml_mp_tutorial_chapter\" value=\"1\"/></form></html>";


String html = "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\">"+
"<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\">"+

The problem you are facing seems to be happening because you are reading the static HTML page not the submitted page.

In order to get the full content of the submitted html, you need to submit your form first with the data, create it as a static html page and then access that page with XMLSerializer or URLStreamReader to get the final data to be passed to the word processing part of your program.

I am not providing an exact solution with code as I suppose you will be able to implement the solution yourself and you are mainly stuck on the logic.
