VariableReplace in footer now working

[steveEP]

I currently do a variable replace on the body of the document successfully (using a template with placeholders), but have not been able to replace the footer placeholders.

My code:

Code: Select all

RelationshipsPart rp = wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart().getRelationshipsPart();
         for (Relationship r : rp.getRelationships().getRelationship()) {
                 if (r.getType().equals(Namespaces.FOOTER)) {
               FooterPart fp = ((FooterPart) rp.getPart(r));
                                        // setup is a HashMap(String, String), the same one I use for the other variable replace which is working on the MainDocumentPart
               fp.variableReplace(setup);
            }
         }



In the template, I have the placeholders like this: ${myPlaceholder}

And the only thing that is happening is that the ${ and } are getting removed resulting in just: myPlaceholder


Thanks for any help!
