An XSN file is simply a CAB file. I am not sure if there are APIs in Java to directly extract from those programmatically.

Microsoft distributes the Cabinet SDK (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310618) which contains command-line utilities such as Extract.exe which you can execute from your Java code. Alternatively you can try to write a Java wrapper around cabinet.dll but this would be much harder unless you can find something ready for consumption.

Dynamically extract xsl files from template (Java)

Hi,

I'd like to be able to extract the XSLT files from my XSN from Java, for example in order to send them and be able to read them without Infopath installed on the client's machine, is this possible ?

Thanks
