AW: AW: Replacing placeholder to a Table.

[Brian Rosenberger <BR...@serena.com>]

Hi Nick,

meanwhile I've created a small test class that indicates the problem. I have a table between two paragraphs and I simply would like to re-sort those IBodyElements, so that the table is first - followed by two paragraphs.
When I simply try to resort the list or to replace it, I get an UnmodifiableCollection Exception.

Against TAG REL_3_8_BETA3:

package net.brutex.msd2docx;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.*;

public class Test {
	static String outputfile = "c:/temp/testdoc.docx";

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		try {
			//Create an XWPFDoc and put a table between two
			//paragraphs
			XWPFDocument d = new XWPFDocument();
			XWPFParagraph p1 = d.createParagraph();
			XWPFRun r1= p1.createRun();
			r1.setText("Paragraph 1, Run 1.");
			XWPFTable t1 = d.createTable(4, 3);
			t1.getRow(0).getCell(0).setText("Table 1");
			XWPFParagraph p2 = d.createParagraph();
			XWPFRun r2= p2.createRun();
			r2.setText("Paragraph 2, Run 2.");
			
			//Howto move table t1 to another position, 
			//i.e. above p1 ?
			
			//Just list the IBodyElement List
			List<IBodyElement> list = d.getBodyElements();
			int i=0;
			for ( IBodyElement e : list ) {
				System.out.println(i + ": " + e.getElementType().name());				
				i++;
			}

			d.write(new FileOutputStream(outputfile));
			
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

Cheers
Brian

I think we should be maintaining a list with both paragraphs and tables in it though, with relative ordering preserved. On XWPFDocument there's
 	List<IBodyElement> bodyElements
for example, which is built by doing a child walk and storing the entries in the order they occur

I'd look at extending that to suit your needs
