News of content controls (w:sdt) and data binding

Hi,

I have upgraded my code to the new 2.6.0 version. I convert templates with custom xml data and content controls (also repeats) using the code from the examples (in short: attach xml data, preprocess, apply bindings).

Now I keep getting an error about the DocxFetcher missing.

Is this error correct? I have no need for fetching components.

I tried to implement a dummy DocxFetcher implementation but I then got an error about the MergeDocx ...

Thanks for the replys and changes, however...

I'm having problems trying to build a new version with the change. I have followed the instructions for svm,maven,eclipse and I can see the change in BindingHandler.java. The problem is many other files fail to build with what appear to be references to packages not available in the source tree such as:
org.plutext.jaxb.xslfo.* in LayoutMasterSetBuilder.java
com.topologi.diffx.* in Differencer.java
org.doc4j.openpackaging.packages.PresentationMLPackage in FlatOpcXmlImporter.java
What am I doing wrong and/or is ...

Hi All,

I have mastered binding text fields to text via the Content Control Toolkit and the docx4j library and I have added a Jpeg image to the documemnt as shown in the AddImage example. Is it possible to use the data binding mechanism to inject a jpeg image into a picture element field? The setNodeValueAtXpath() only accepts String as a data parameter.

Cheers

Hello,

I've got some documents with content controls in it (sdtBlock).

With this method I was able to read it after casting it to a sdtBlock:
...getMainDocument.getJaxBElement.getBody.getEG...get(x)...

First, Is there a better possibility without casting of the element?

Also, i need to rewrite the content of the sdtBlock with docx4j (not adding a new one) but I found no way to do this. Is there a possibility?

kind regards

Hi, I'm trying to use content controls in header and footer using the code from CustomXmlBinding, but the controls placed in the header aren't affected by the binding process... if I place a control bound to the same data inside the main part it works so nothing wrong with the code... does these parts of the document need special handling?

Hi,

I have a very simple piece of code:
wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(javaFile);
wordMLPackage.save(toFile);

After the save, the new file has no custom xml in in (checked with the Content Control Toolkit).

Can anyone tell if this is normal? I use version 2.6.0 of docx4j

Using docx4j 2.6.0 namespaces on our attributes were being thrown away for custom xml parts by the FlatOpcXmlImporter. It uses XmlUtils to copy the custom xml data element into a new org.w3c.dom.Document. I'm not sure what this class is intended to do, but the DOM API directly supports this functionality and doesn't ditch the namespaces. I recommend the following patch. It fixes our problem.

Hi,

I'm attempting to use the data binding example 'CustomXmlBinding.java'. I can make it work using a docx source but I can't find the example MedicalChartSample.xml on the server and every attempt I have at creating my own from scratch throws an UnmarshalException - unexpected element...

Is there an example I can use to get started ?

Hi Jason,
Can you please give me a sample coding for creating /customXml/item1.xml through coding?

I tried to create using createDocxWithCustomXml.java as given in docx4j.2.6.0 version. since it returns null document in createCustomXmlDocument method, there is no customXML found in the document. I’ve attached the document.

I tried to return a document in createCustomXmlDocument method using following code
public static Document createCustomXmlDocument(Document document)
{
Element root = document.createElement("root");
root.setAttribute("att1", "att1val");
root.setTextContent("some value");

return document;
} ...
