Starting from a template to generate ODT document with JAVA

Question

I have tried a few APIs : JopenDocument and ODFDOM and both of them don't offer what i'm looking for.

I want to be able to do the following :

• Start from a template .

• Process this template with JAVA to generate ODT/Docx reports.

I need those two functionality : Adding Images dynamically and tables .

JopenDocument offers almost all of this, but lacks adding images .

Are there any other API to do this ?

Answer 1

I have found XdocReport https://code.google.com/p/xdocreport/ and it does exactly what i'm looking for with complete documentation and samples.

Answer 2

Other options you haven't come across:

• Docmosis (commercial)
• JOD Reports (opensource, but a bit out of date)

Both meet your requirements:

• use documents as templates
• Java API
• ODT/DOCX output
• Add images
• Add tables

Please note I work for Docmosis.

I hope that helps.
