Hi there,
my intention is to manipulate some OpenOffice Text Document (.odt) files.
I try to do this using simple-odf-0.7-incubating.jar
and Java 1.6.0_24 (Eclipse Indigo, Windows 7).
The documents are prepared and pre-filled, no additional text has to be
added. The odt-files contain bookmarks and some variable fields.
These bookmarks or fields may either be empty or initialized with some
strings, date, numeric values ...
I just want to manipulate the values of some fields and leave the rest of
the document untouched.
So I used the following code sample to load an odt-file with some pages and
different variable fields, one of them called "NumVar", and tried to change
the numeric value of this field using the getVariableFieldByName(..)-method
and the updateField(..)-method. Finally I saved the file.
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
TextDocument doc = TextDocument.loadDocument("resource/sample.odt");
VariableField field = doc.getVariableFieldByName( "NumVar" );
OdfElement elem = doc.getContentRoot();
field.updateField("123", elem);
doc.save("resource/sample2.odt");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
The odt-file could be loaded successfully, VariableField was found,
updateField-method passed without exception, but the resulting sample2-file
has not been "changed", means the value of "NumVar" is the same as before.
I suppose the error is in:
OdfElement elem = doc.getContentRoot();
field.updateField("123", elem);
Which OdfElement-instance has to be used
Seems ContextRoot isn't the right one!?
And one more question: can odftoolkit/simple-odf handle bookmarks too?
Thanks for any help.
Uwe
P.S.: I tried the cookbook-sample (8.1.1) and it worked,
but I do not need any additional text or paragraph.
