Inserting images (permissions & temp tmp files)

[timmee]

Hi
I am currently evaluateing docx4j and have struck a problem. We would be using this to produce docx documents with text and images. The images are created in the same class file and are bufferedImages (at the moment). I can'r save these and re-load into the document (no write priveliges).

is there a way I can insert these bufferedimages straight into the document as it's being built?

Cheers

BinaryPartAbstractImage contains methods to create an image from a byte[] (see the AddImage sample).

So you'll need to convert your BufferedImage to a byte[] in one of the supported formats (eg jpeg, png)

That bit is easy .. see for example http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t ... array.html

There is one remaining issue. BinaryPartAbstractImage currently writes a tmp file when ascertaining an image's format. Until this is changed in the docx4j sources, you'll have to use your own modified copies of that code to avoid that.

ImageInfo ought to be reviewed. I notice there is now a project http://commons.apache.org/sanselan/whysanselan.html which provides a potential alternative.
