hey folks,

first of all. great work. i'm using docx4j for few weeks now and i am stoked.

now the reason i'm posting...

i'm trying to replace some variables in head and body of my docx.
since i want to use placeholders, i do it with

Code: Select all: variableReplace()

to make sure this will work, i clean my docx with

Code: Select all: VariablePrepare.prepare()

everythink works great for the main document part but not for the header.

to replace text i'm also using variableReplace()

eg

Code: Select all: List<SectionWrapper> sectionWrappers = wordMLPackage.getDocumentModel().getSections(); for (SectionWrapper sw : sectionWrappers) { HeaderFooterPolicy hfp = sw.getHeaderFooterPolicy(); if (hfp.getDefaultHeader()!=null) { hfp.getDefaultHeader().variableReplace(mappings); } }

but if there is any kind of proof error, markup, rsids etc. it doesn't work.

question:
is there any simple way to 'clean' my header?

thx in advance

The VariablePrepare code shows you how it is done for the Main Document Part.

It works in 2 steps:

1. filter

2. SingleTraversalUtilVisitorCallback applied to part contents

As per the comments in the code, the filter should really be replaced with a traverse as well.

Each of these 2 steps needs to be made to apply to an arbitrary part. This is straightforward to do (and we'd accept a patch to that effect..), but I haven't done it since variable replacement isn't the recommended way to do document generation...

ok, filter is at the wrong place but it's basically not deprecated?

so i copied the code and adapted it for my header

HeaderPart header = hfp.getDefaultHeader();

filterSettings =new WordprocessingMLPackage.FilterSettings();

filterSettings.setRemoveProofErrors(true);

filterSettings.setRemoveRsids(true);

filter(filterSettings, header);

it works! but is this the right way?
