Hello All,

I am trying to convert xhtml to docx.
My xHtml contains table and inside there are <ul <li, so when I convert it docx, bullets are not getting formatted properly.

Below is the test code for converting xhtml to docx,
WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.createPackage();

AlternativeFormatInputPart afiPart = new AlternativeFormatInputPart(AltChunkType.Xhtml);
afiPart.setBinaryData(html.getBytes("UTF-8"));
afiPart.setContentType(new ContentType("application/xhtml+xml"));
Relationship altChunkRel = wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart().addTargetPart(afiPart);
// .. the bit in document body
CTAltChunk ac = Context.getWmlObjectFactory().createCTAltChunk();
ac.setId(altChunkRel.getId());
wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart().addObject(ac);
wordMLPackage.getContentTypeManager().addDefaultContentType("xhtml", "application/xhtml+xml");

// ...

I am using WordprocessingMLPackage.load(new ByteArrayInputStream(b)) to load in the wordMLPackage on each request that requries docx manipulation but want to explore alternatives to this to improve performance down to 10s of milliseconds rather than seconds. The options explored so far include

1. WordprocessingMLPackage.load(bais) - perf metrics can be at best 500ms using a test docx
2. wordMLPackage.clone(); - perf metrics are similar to load() at 500ms using a test docx
3. Serializing results of WordprocessingMLPackage.load(bais) ...

Sure you can.

Do it in Word, then unzip the docx and look at the markup created. Duplicated that using docx4j.

I just noticed someone has posed that question on StackOverflow in relation to docx documents:-

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1501 ... -documents

It'd be great if the perspective of docx4j users was well-represented in the responses.

Thanks .. Jason

Hey folks,

I'm pretty new to this. I created my first Excel document without difficulty. However, I'd like to add a chart to the spreadsheet, and that's considerably more difficult. Can someone show me a straightforward example of how to go about adding a chart? Even an overview.

I've created my package, a sheet, some rows, and some cells. I add the cells to the rows, the rows to the sheet, and the sheet to ...

Sorry, no. But I guess they divide into DrawingML, VML (both of which are in their own packages), and the WML host elements which you can enumerate.

Are you using TraversalUtil?

We added an interface SdtElement to represent the various content control classes generated by JAXB. Feel free to contribute something similar for the WML graphical host elements if you find it useful.

I want to replace a place holder , for which I create placeholder like ${paceholder1} in the document , to replace i use the code below

Code: Select all

         List<Object> texts = getAllElementFromObject(template.getMainDocumentPart(), Text.class);
         replacePlaceHolders(texts, mappings);

   private static void replacePlaceHolders(List<?> texts,Map<String, String>  mappings){
      for (Object object : texts) {
         Text  textElement=(Text)object;
         String textToReplace=textElement.getValue();
         if(mappings.keySet().contains(textToReplace)){
            textElement.setValue(mappings.get(textToReplace));
         }
      }
   }



surprisingly in the above code textElement.getValue(); never returns ${paceholder1}.

below is document.xml , word replaces my place holder ...

can we delete a paragraph or a table from a document ? Are there any examples ?

docx4j gives you exactly what it finds in the document.xml part (unzip your docx to have a look). What you see on the document surface in the Word (or for that matter, LibreOffice/OpenOffice) GUI, may be simpler than what that program actually creates at the XML level.

If you were creating the content in docx4j, you'd likely do it as you describe.

Have a look in the styles part (styles.xml). There you'll see, for example:


<w:style w:type="paragraph" w:styleId="Heading1">
<w:name w:val="heading 1"/>
