Ralf Heydenreich commented on ODFTOOLKIT-383:
---------------------------------------------
Hi Bob,
no idea if this is an actual problem for you, but I've run into the same
problem. I've solved it with a new PlaceHolder class and PlaceHolderNavigation
class. This solved different problems: 1) spanned and not spanned placeholders
doesn't matter; 2) placeholder can be replaced by an image; 3) placeholder
inside a table can be used for fillng the complete table, i.e., you give one
row as "template" row and a list of values which should be replaced and the
PlaceholderNavigation replaces each row.
At the moment I test this solution in my own application (since I heavily use
the ODFToolkit for generating documents). If I think that all things work then
I'll try to contribute the solution to this project.

> Key: ODFTOOLKIT-383
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ODFTOOLKIT-383
> Project: ODF Toolkit
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: simple api
> Affects Versions: 0.6-incubating
> Reporter: Bob Hecker
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: Replace, Search, TextNavigation, loadDocument
>
> When I load an .ott file and I try to search for placeholders I encounter
> strange behavior. Some of the placeholders (not all) in the template cannot
> be found. I use the code shown below to open the document and search for the
> placeholders
> TextDocument odt = TextDocument.loadDocument("/template-001.ott");
> TextNavigation search = new TextNavigation("<name>", odt);
> while (search.hasNext()) {
> TextSelection item = (TextSelection) search.nextSelection();
> System.out.println("Placeholder found");
> item.replaceWith("SOME_TEXT");
> }
> The code works because some placeholders get replaced, but unfortunately not
> all. The only difference I can find between the placeholders is the way they
> are recorded in the .ott file Openoffice generated.
> The placeholders who get replaced have this syntax:
> <text:span text:style-name="T5">
> <text:placeholder text:placeholder-type="text"><name>
> </text:placeholder>
> </text:span>
> While the placeholders who don't get replaced are recorded this way:
> <text:placeholder
> text:placeholder-type="text"><name></text:placeholder></text:p>
> The ones who get replaced seem to have a text:span tag. I'm not sire if this
> is the real cause of the problem but when I give the specific fields (who are
> not working) a text:span tag they seem to get replaced.
> I dont't have any deep knowledge of the odftoolkit but I think the
> loadDocument does something with the data so the TextNavigation can't find
> the specific elements. Or the TextNavigation is not functioning as I would
> expect.
