News of content controls (w:sdt) and data binding

Given a document with the following properties:

There is a repeat tag, say, referencing the xpath /document/section. There are nested conditionals referencing nested elements, say, /document/section/paragraph/run.

Using OpenDoPEHandler, these nested conditionals are enhanced whenever the handler considers them nested, that is, they start with /document/section. This has obviously been thoroughly tested with nested repeats, as all sorts of /document/section/paragraph/run with or without fixed indexes are property enhanced (for /document/section/paragraph/run).

Then again, tests could be like ...

I have a custom xml where I have a node with boolean value, e.g.

Code: Select all

<root>
  ...
   <required>false</required>
...


I need a condition with xpath that evaluates to true when /root/required text node contains false. I tried various ways, /root/required != true, /root/required = false, not(/root/required). Had no luck. Though, !=, = are valid xpath operators, but it looks like they are not recognized or I use them in a wrong way.
Besides, is ...

Hello!

I have a conditional content control (od:conditional) in my document, after running OpenDoPEHandler.preprocess(wordMLPackage) it either remains in resulting document or disappears entirely depending on result of condition evaluation. Is it by design that this content control (and not just the content inside it) remains unchanged? I expected that the content part inside it will be included into document (unwrapped) not the control itself. Just want to be sure I do everything right when dealing ...

I am having trouble getting repeating data to work.

Stepping through the code, the xpath returns 0 repeating elements from my custom xml, however if I upload my xml and xpath expression to one of the XPath test sites, it returns 3 elements.

My data looks like:

<accountInstruction>
<securities>
<security>
<security>
<security>
</securities>
</accountInstruction>

And my repeat xpath is: /accountInstruction/securities/security

I am using docx4j version 2.6.0.

I am not an XPath expert, any suggestions?

Thanks, ...

One cannot run OpenDoPEHandler twice in the same jvm at the same time, as the static field shallowTraversor might be accessed in the wrong way by two parallel runs of preprocess.

The easiest way to cure this might be to make everything non-static. The most portable way might be to add some static helper methods to aid porting.

As an instant cure, I suggest adding a warning and/or synchronizing preprocess.

In contrary to version 2.6.0, the current head version von docx4j.ContentControlBindingExtensions generates an invoice_bound.xml which is not accepted by my version of word 2010 (unknown error at /word/document.xml , line 98, row 0).

This is obviously due to the fact that empty <sdtContent/> elements are not accepted in w:tr/w:sdt: Changing them for <w:sdtContent><w:tc><w:p/></w:tc></w:sdtContent>, the document is working perfectly (interesting enough, changing the first column suffices to "repair" the document, word then omits the second row ...

Getting started has,

docx4j (from 2.5.0) contains a mechanism for processing conditional content controls and repeats. See http://dev.plutext.org/svn/docx4j/trunk/docx4j/sample-docs/databinding/conventions.docx for an explanation.

The correct link is now http://dev.plutext.org/svn/docx4j/trunk/docx4j/sample-docs/word/databinding/conventions.docx.

Hi,

When i use the BindingHandler :

Code: Select all

BindingHandler.applyBindings(wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart());

The binder replace all occurence of variables found in Document, example : ERRORS


<w:alias w:val="ERRORS"/><w:tag w:val="ERRORS"/><w:id w:val="1975506105"/><w:lock w:val="contentLocked"/><w:dataBinding w:xpath="/variables/variable" w:storeItemID="{D596218A-15D1-49DD-AC23-D9CE5EDEB61C}"/><w:text w:multiLine="1"/>

How to affect only the w:dataBinding and not the others (alias / tag) when ID are the same ??

Thanks for your help.

Best Regards

Hi,

I use custom XML to store valeus of variables.

The data biding works successfulyl when opening document with MS Word.
But i use Aspose.Words to convert my document in PDF and Aspose.Words seems to ignore the variables values in my custom XML .

Aspose.Words only convert the value in "<w:t> tag.

So how can i bin,d the value from my custom XML file and write the value in main document ?

I found this ...

i m reading a .docx Dokument where a SdtRuns are inside or the P.

The problem is i gain a JAXBElement instead. And i can not convert it to the required type nevent if jax.getDeclaredType().equals(SdtRun.class) is TRUE.

Body body = wmlDocumentEl.getBody();

JAXBElement jax = null;
for (Object o: body.getEGBlockLevelElts()){//Body
if (o instanceof P){
for (Object o1:((P) o).getParagraphContent()){//P
if(o1 instanceof R){
