News of docx4j

Hi Jason,

I wonder what is the best way to delete an element without knowing its type?

I've tried a solution, which looks for the parents getContent() and returns this list as return value. The user than can invoke the remove method on this list. Does another generic method already exist in the framework? Otherwise we could try to add such a feature in docx4j?!

Here is my code:

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public List<Object> getParentContent(Child child) ...

Hi, I am new to this forum and to docx4j.

I have copied and pasted the first few lines from the main() method of CreateWordprocessingMLDocument.java into my code just to get started and am seeing errors.

Here is my code:

WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.createPackage();
wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart().addStyledParagraphOfText( "Title", "Hello world" );
wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart().addParagraphOfText( "from docx4j!" );

And here is the output in the log:

JAXB: RI not present. Trying Java 6 implementation.

Hi Jason,

i'm donig the following:

Code: Select all

private void setLockLevel(SdtElement sdtElement, STLock lockLevel) {
      Boolean lockFound = Boolean.FALSE;
      for (Object o: sdtElement.getSdtPr().getRPrOrAliasOrLock()) {
         o = XmlUtils.unwrap(o);
         if (o instanceof CTLock) {
            lockFound = Boolean.TRUE;
            ((CTLock) o).setVal(lockLevel);
            break;
         }
      }
      if (!lockFound.booleanValue()) {
         CTLock newLock = new CTLock();
         newLock.setVal(lockLevel);
         sdtElement.getSdtPr().getRPrOrAliasOrLock().add(newLock);
      }
   }


When I'm trying to save (WordprocessingMLPackage.save(File)) the docx file with the SdtElement and the new lock level (added cause no CTLock was found) ...

Hi Jason,

last Friday I wrote a method which deletes an sdtElement in the first upcoming parent, which implements some kind of getContent method. I've done it using java reflections and looking for a method called "getContent" in the parent. Therefor it was neccessary to extend some classes with a getContent method.

Hi, main question here is how do I go about replacing headers and footers in a document.. I've tried a couple of different options based on the examples.

First, copying header and footer from a document with header/footer to a document with none of these

public static void copyHeaderAndFooter(String sourcefile, String targetfile) throws Exception {
WordprocessingMLPackage source;
WordprocessingMLPackage target;
if (sourcefile.endsWith(".docx")) {
try {
source = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(new File(sourcefile));
target = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(new File(targetfile));

// Find ...

Hi,

I have not written the mentioned patch yet, but today I noticed that it would be very useful to have an CustomXmlElement interface as well (http://dev.plutext.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=617). I will try to do it exactly like the SdtElement Interface without the errors I made at this one.

As soon as I'm home I will start implementing it. Hopefully we can apply it soon... ;)

Has anyone used the docx4j to deal with the merge fields from word 2003? If so, I'd be open to some tips and/or best practices.

I created a simple merge template using word 2003 and saved it as a docx. Here's an excerpt from the document.xml:

<w:p w:rsidR="000808B5" w:rsidRDefault="000808B5">
<w:r>
<w:t xml:space="preserve">But this third and last paragraph has a merge field named Biz right here: </w:t>
</w:r>
<w:fldSimple w:instr=" MERGEFIELD Biz \* MERGEFORMAT ">

Hello

I build my project with Maven.
Maven cannot find the jar file for dependency: org.apache.commons:commons-vfs-patched:jar:1.9.1
Looking at the Plutext repository, I cannot find version 1.9.1 of that library.
There is only version 1.1 and 1.1a.

regards,


Eric

You may have noticed the forum looks a little different today. This week I upgraded phpBB and its skin.

There is a print stylesheet for when you want to print a topic.

Search should now work for words like "table", "headers".

Java and XML syntax highlighting using:

Code: Select all


     [java] .. [/java]   or  [xml] .. [/xml]


Java and docx attachments are now accepted.

New users now have to answer a question as part of the ...

I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out the requirements for adding comments and references to those in the document body.

I've looked through a previous thread and the example for adding Hyperlinks and have made some progress in adding the comments, but I'm failing at connecting them to the text within the document.

Is there a sample, similar to HyperlinkTest.java or CreateWordprocessingMLDocument.java, that covers Comments?

Also, from looking at the Hyperlink example, which I ...
