Hi everybody,
I have some questions about the new document generation mechanism in Topcased 2.3.0. First of all, I downloaded and followed with success the document generation tutorial. Now, I have some questions: 1. I succeeded in generating a .docx (word) but not an odt (actually, I got the file but it's empty). In both cases I used a .docx template done with MS Word and the macros, as in the tutorial example. Question: is the .odt generation already implemented?
Yes.
If you want to create an odt, you need a template in odt format.
With Gendoc, we just insert fragments (coming from the generation) in an existing document.
We don't transform the whole document.

We assume that the user interface needs some improvments.
Gendoc is still experimental and a lot of work is still required :)

2. I noticed that, after the importation of the template, the file having the extension ..docx.gendoc may be modified in the Topcased editor, not only by completing the missing fields as described in the tutorial, but also adding new entries that weren't in the original template (e.g a new chapter, a new Model Data Source etc, in other words, at a first glance, more or less the same work macros do when working in Word on a template). This could be interesting as it would be quicker than modifiyng within Word and the re-importing. If I try to do that, however, the generated document does not incorporate the changes, i.e. its layout and its entries are still those in the original .docx template. Here, the question is: what is exactly the role of the .docx template and what is the role of the ..docx.gendoc? What changes to the .docx.gendoc are allowed once the template has been imported?

The .docx template is the skeleton of the final document.
It contains all the tags needed for Gendoc to insert the fragments, obtained through generation, into the document. You can add a fragment in your .docx.gendoc but you will have to add the corresponding tag into the template document. Otherwise the fragment won't be inserted.

This mechanism will probably evolve. The .docx.gendoc would maybe disappear and be replaced by a wizard.

Thibault
Thanks a lot,
Francesco
