Hi,

I'm currently trying to load a 190MB docx file using docx4j. Even giving the vm 1.5GB memory loading fails with an OutOfMemoryError.
Does doc4j loads all parts on load of the package or does it load the parts on demand?

If all parts are loaded into memory with the package, could that be changed do load on demand using a memory sensitive cache for loaded parts?

Regards
Holger

I'm pleased to announce the release of docx4j v2.2.2.

The main new features of this release are support for math and VML. A summary of changes in this release and the immediately preceding one (v2.2.1) can be found below. This is taken from README.txt in svn.

Contributors to this release include Holger Schlegel. Thanks to all contributors to this and previous releases.

Where do I get it?

How do I get started?

I just received an some exceptions saying that the @XmlRootElement is missing on some of the generated classes in the wml package. In my run I spotted the following classes:
org.docx4j.wml.CTTblCellMar
org.docx4j.wml.CTShortHexNumber
org.docx4j.wml.TblWidth
org.docx4j.wml.TblBorders
org.docx4j.wml.CTTblLayoutType

Once added the annotation manually the exceptions are gone but changing a generated class manually sounds like a very bad idea for me. Could you please regenerate that classes with the appropriate XmlRootElement anotations.

What would be the (technical) way to contribute source changes?
I've allready checked out the docx4j sources from svn and created a local Eclipse project for it.

One relative small change I would like to do is to add the generic parameter for the jaxbElement member in the JaxbXmlPart base class and its subclasses.

Appended to this post is a Eclipse generated patch file for the JaxbXmlElement class. It adds a generic parameter for the jaxbElement property. Subclasses of that class has been changed to add a conrete class for that parameter. For example, the MainDocumentPart uses the org.docx4j.wml.Document class as parameter.
Some other classes referencing the changed property has been updated to remove compiler errors (mainly by adding casts). The changes samples has not been tested.

While creating ...

I need help adding table objects to the main document. Looking at the document.xml from a Word generated file it looks like tables are, typically, inserted at the same level as P objects. So, I tried calling the MainDocumentPart.addObject method passing in an instance of Tbl but that merely generates an "UNEXPECTED: org.docx4j.wml.Tbl" in the log. It turns out, the traverseMainDocumentRecursive method allows only P and R objects. As near as I can tell, the ...

Iam trying to generate

wml.xsd using xjc, after adding

<xsd:import id="m" namespace="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/math" schemaLocation="shared-math.xsd" />

But Iam unsuccessful.Not sure what Iam missing?

in my shared-math.xsl I have

<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/math"
xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main"
xmlns:m="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/math"
xmlns:w="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/math"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" attributeFormDefault="qualified" blockDefault="#all" elementFormDefault="qualified">

If I change xmlns:xsd to http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/offic ... /2006/math then , all these errors disappear but I get
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Unexpected <xsd:schema> appears at line 4 column 157


Thanks in Advance,

Using Word 2003 with the docx compability pack to save a doc as docx results in a docx file containing VML elements instead of DrawingML for embeded images. As far as I know, the classes for the DrawingML package dml are simply generated from the corresponding xml schema definition file. If that is true, could you generate and add such classes for the VML elements?
These classes would save me some dom-node-hopping.

Is there any reason why some document elements are wrapped by an JAXBElement instance and others are not?
For example, the content list of the Body class may contain JAXBElement<Tbl> (instead of just Tbl) but directly containing P elements (instead of JAXBElement<P>).

And one other question: Is the docx4j library under active development process or will there be changes only if bugs are detected?

For example, I have a run with bold set on (along with other styling). I'd prefer to simply remove the <w:b> node rather than setting it to false. I thought I came across a description of how to remove nodes but cannot locate it now.
