UmarshallFromTemplate doesn't work

[MPav]

Hello,

I need to replace some values from a template to a new docx-document. I have used the
example UnmarshallFromTemplate.class. But it didn't worked. The keys in the generated docx-document
weren't replaced. Only their braces were removed.
Of cource I changed the paths to template and new docx-document.

Is there any possibility for me to marshall the xml and don't use unmarshallFromTemplates?

thanks for answers

Sounds like you are doing it wrong (possibly your key is split across text runs?) - have a look at the source docx Main Document Part xml to check.

As an alternative, I'd recommend you look at the OpenDoPE stuff.

MPav,

I did exactly what u want to do and it does work.
Read the examples, try yourself and if you need help again... let me know, ok ?

Cheers

Thanks for help,

i post here what I have written.

Code: Select all

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.List;

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;

import org.docx4j.XmlUtils;
import org.docx4j.openpackaging.io.SaveToZipFile;
import org.docx4j.openpackaging.packages.WordprocessingMLPackage;
import org.docx4j.openpackaging.parts.WordprocessingML.MainDocumentPart;
import org.docx4j.wml.Document;


public class UnmarshallFromTemplate {
   
   public static JAXBContext context = org.docx4j.jaxb.Context.jc;

   /**
    * @param args
    */
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

      String inputfilepath = "C:\\Users\\Michael Pavlovski\\Desktop\\unmarshallFromTemplateExample.docx";
      
      boolean save = true;
      String outputfilepath = System.getProperty("user.dir") + "\\test-out.docx";      
      
      
   
      WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(new java.io.File(inputfilepath));
      
      
      MainDocumentPart documentPart = wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart();
      
         org.docx4j.wml.Document wmlDocumentEl = (org.docx4j.wml.Document) documentPart
               .getJaxbElement();
        
        
     
      
         String xml = XmlUtils.marshaltoString(wmlDocumentEl, true);

        
        
         HashMap<String, String> mappings = new HashMap<String, String>();
        
         mappings.put("colour", "green");
         mappings.put("icecream", "chocolate");
        
        
        
         Object obj = XmlUtils.unmarshallFromTemplate(xml, mappings);
        
    
         documentPart.setJaxbElement((Document) obj);

   
      if (save) {      
         SaveToZipFile saver = new SaveToZipFile(wordMLPackage);
         saver.save(outputfilepath);
         System.out.println( "Saved output to:" + outputfilepath );
      } else {
         
         
      }
   }
   

}


I've used the same template which is used in the example UnmarshallFromTemplate.java.
In the log4j output I find this:

3690 [main] WARN org.docx4j.XmlUtils - Invalid key '</w:t></w:r><w:proofErr w:type="spellStart"/><w:r w:rsidRPr="00912581"><w:rPr><w:lang w:val="en-US"/></w:rPr><w:t>colour</w:t></w:r><w:proofErr w:type="spellEnd"/><w:r w:rsidRPr="00912581"><w:rPr><w:lang w:val="en-US"/></w:rPr><w:t>' or key not mapped to a value
3690 [main] WARN org.docx4j.XmlUtils - Invalid key '</w:t></w:r><w:proofErr w:type="spellStart"/><w:r w:rsidRPr="00912581"><w:rPr><w:lang w:val="en-US"/></w:rPr><w:t>icecream</w:t></w:r><w:proofErr w:type="spellEnd"/><w:r w:rsidRPr="00912581"><w:rPr><w:lang w:val="en-US"/></w:rPr><w:t>' or key not mapped to a value

I don't understand why both keys can't be mapped.

Again, it sounds like your key is split across text runs. If you don't understand what this means, please attach your docx and I will take a look.

[MPav]

I understand what this means, but the keys aren't split across of their textruns.
I used just the same template as the example uses. You can find it under [docx sources]\sample-docs\word\unmarshallFromTemplateExample.docx
The only thing i changed, was the path of the templatefile and the outputfile because they don't match my file system

I just ran the sample and confirmed it works for me.

Add System.out.println(xml) and tell us what it says?

[Paulo Martins]

It worked well when I tested with the .docx provided from the site. But, if I change anything (for example, put a ";") and save, then it turns out to only repeat the key without {'s or }'s.

I 've saved the example with Work 2007. I'm using the version 2.7.1, and the original program example.

Considering that something is wrong after the update of the template .docx, I've uploaded the changed template.

Thanks for your help,

Paulo

If you look at the XML in your docx, you'll see:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

Your key is split because of w:proofErr. To stop this happening, you should turn proofing off when creating your template.

It worked well.
Thanks a lot.
