unmarshallFromTemplate insert xml problem

[plutology]

Hi All,

We are new to docx4j.
We are trying to determine the limitations of unmarshallFromTemplate()
The goal is to move the body content of one document as replacement string for a tag.

// pass: mappings.put( "aok.relatedEfforts", "radius > 3.0 nm" );
// fail: mappings.put( "aok.relatedEfforts", "radius <= 3.0 nm" );
// pass: mappings.put( "aok.relatedEfforts", "<w:t>text for the Related Effort block</w:t>" );

When testing string replacement, any string with a '<' throws assorted org.xml.sax.SAXParseExceptions.
Unrelated, large block of word xml did not replace a tag in other tests.

Recommendation for another API or proper use of the unmarshallFromTemplate appreciated.

Cheers,
Kevin

Hi Kevin

Does it work if you use &lt; instead of the less than symbol?

It is not designed to support inserting WordML fragments, although I guess it could be extended to support some of these easily enough.

I would recommend you use the custom xml data binding API, which is much more powerful. See the sub-forum and www.opendope.org for more info.
