repeat tag. Do I need MergeDocx ?

[beric]

Hello,

I've created a document with "od:repeat" tag bound to a custom XML part as indicated in the "Conventions" document.
To generate to document, I called :

Code: Select all

OpenDoPEHandler.preprocess(wordMLPackage);

However, it does not work. When I open the resulting document in Word, the part which was in the "od:repeat" block has been deleted. The tags are also deleted.
Also, I get the following message on the standard output:

Code: Select all

You need a docxFetcher (and the MergeDocx extension) to fetch components

Do I need the "MergeDocx" extension to perform this operation ? Is there a way to try this extension before purchasing it ?

Regards,

Eric

That would happen if it evaluated to repeat zero times. Check the relevant XPath?

If it continues to happen pls post a sample docx zipped up, or email it to me.

No, you only need it to "fetch components" ie include another docx in your document, using od:component tag. You need it in that case, because it contains the code which merges the documents.

Yes, you can trial MergeDocx - just send me an email - but its not relevant to your current problem.

ps I will move this topic to the databinding sub forum in the next day or so...

As per the other thread, you may wish to use a recent nightly build so this message is not displayed unless relevant.
