jOpenDocument


A pure Java library for OASIS Open Document files manipulation

Fill your text document

A powerfull templating facility is included in jOpenDocument.

You start by creating a template file, directly in OpenOffice, with the help of the jOpenDocument AddOn.

It lets you quickly insert all the grey and green spans you see below.


  File templateFile = new File("template/test.odt");
  File outFile = new File("out.odt");
  // Load the template.
  // Java 5 users will have to use RhinoFileTemplate instead
  JavaScriptFileTemplate template = new JavaScriptFileTemplate(templateFile);

  // Fill with sample values.
  template.setField("toto", "value set using setField()");
  List<Map<String, String>> months = new ArrayList<Map<String, String>>();
  months.add(createMap("January", "-12", "3"));
  months.add(createMap("February", "-8", "5"));
  months.add(createMap("March", "-5", "12"));
  months.add(createMap("April", "-1", "15"));
  months.add(createMap("May", "3", "21"));
  template.setField("months", months);

  template.hideParagraph("p1");

  // Save to file.
  template.saveAs(outFile);

  // Open the document with OpenOffice.org !
  OOUtils.open(outFile);

You start by creating a template. You can then define values that you need in you document. Either by using setField(), or by using showParagraph()/hideParagraph(). Finally you just call saveAs().

The final document will look like:
