Hi
I found how to do it but maybe there's a faster/cleaner/... solution.
This is how I did it:
public static void preparseBulletList(TextDocument document, String
fieldName, int listLength) {
for (Iterator<List> listIterator = document.getListIterator();
listIterator.hasNext();) {
List list = listIterator.next();
java.util.List<ListItem> listItems = list.getItems();
int size = listItems.size();
if (size == 1) { // only bullet lists with 1 item can be dynamic
ListItem listItem = listItems.get(0);
NamedNodeMap variableNodeAttributes =
getVariableNodeAttributes(listItem);
if (variableNodeAttributes != null) {
Node nameNode =
variableNodeAttributes.getNamedItem("text:name");
if (fieldName.equals(nameNode.getNodeValue())) {
// found the bullet with correct field name
for (int i = 1; i < listLength; i++) {
// copy the existing bullet so styling etc is
taken over
ListItem newListItem = list.addItem(listItem);
NamedNodeMap newVariableNodeAttributes =
getVariableNodeAttributes(newListItem);
Node newNameNode =
newVariableNodeAttributes.getNamedItem("text:name");
// the new, indexed field name
newNameNode.setNodeValue(fieldName + i);
}
}
}
}
}
}
private static NamedNodeMap getVariableNodeAttributes(ListItem
listItem) {
// door de DOM tree stappen tot aan de text node
TextListItemElement listItemElement = listItem.getOdfElement();
Node stylingNode = listItemElement.getFirstChild();
Node textNode = stylingNode.getFirstChild();
// zoeken naar de 'variabele' node.
// vb igv
// * some text <Set variable a_field = %INVULLEN%>
while (!(textNode instanceof TextVariableSetElement)) {
textNode = textNode.getNextSibling();
}
NamedNodeMap textNodeAttributes = textNode.getAttributes();
return textNodeAttributes;
}
