"Getting started" gives "OdfTextDocument.odt" error
Hi,
I have tried to follow the "Getting started" example at https://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/simple/gettingstartguide.html, but I have struggled to get around the error:
Jan 20, 2017 3:43:26 PM org.odftoolkit.odfdom.pkg.OdfPackageDocument$Resource createInputStream
SEVERE: Could not find resource: /OdfTextDocument.odt
ERROR: unable to create output file.
Which occurs when I try to run the compiled example code.
Let me start by saying I know some Java, but very little about Maven or any of the libraries used in the ODF toolkit.
So I've tried:
* Paring down the code example to just "TextDocument.newTextDocument()", and then stopping. No other action is performed.
* Using Java 6, 7, and 8
* Compiled ODF toolkit 0.6.1, 0.6, and 0.5 (Using 'mvn compiler:compile', 'mvn jar:jar', and then setting my CLASSPATH to the newly made jars)
* On the chance "/OdfTextDocument.odt" was an actual file path it was trying to load, I moved “OdfTextDocument.odt” to my root directory with ‘rw’ permissions.
Same error on every point. I’d be inclined to say "Oh, it's broken", but running 'mvn test' shows many tests that are completing correctly, in particular "org.odftoolkit.simple.DocumentCreationTest"
I hope I covered all the obvious things, but it's still feeling like I've missed something simple. Can someone help me out with this?
Appreciate it!
Chris

Thanks for that detailed response. With that new jar file I have it working now.
Thanks again,

Hello Chris,
I have tested the example myself.
First I added it to a regression test of the example sources
<http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/odf/trunk/simple/src/test/java/org/odftoolkit/simple/DocumentTest.java?revision=1779737&view=markup#l584>
to the project. It proofs the example source code works fine with the
latest sources.
Afterwards I have tested the example on commandline and found the potential
problem.
The current sources don't work with commandline with the given classpath.
The problem you mention is that the ODF document template is not being
found, which is part of the ODFDOM jar and can be found on its root level
(exchange file suffix to ZIP and look for yourself). The reason of this
template is: When you call "TextDocument.newTextDocument()" an XML DOM is
created from a ODT document within the JAR that is just an empty text
document with some additional basic styles. So you do not have to start a
document cumbersome by skretch.
Still, if you add the ODFDOM jar to the command line classpath and would
use the latest sources like I do, you would realize that the xerces parser
JAR was split into different JARs (ie. xml-apis.jar will be missing).
Afterwards there will be some RDF jar missing and than I thought it would
be better to solve the problem differently. ;)
If you like to work comfortable from the command line, just build the
latest sources as explained at
https://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/source.html
1) svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/odf/trunk
odftoolkit20170121
2) cd odftoolkit20170121
3) mvn install
Afterwards you will find a JAR with all dependencies at this path:
odftoolkit20170121\simple\target\simple-odf-0.8.2-incubating-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
So there is only one JAR to be added to the classpath by commandline. I
have tested it now, it works!
So thank you for your feed-back, Chris.
This convinced me that although I am always working with the latest
sources, it makes sense to provide a new release perhaps with such an
all-inclusive jar.
In addition your comment reminded me to update the web pages
<https://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/docs/edit-cms.html>, which might
be wise to do right after the release.
All the best,
Svante
