Class BatchWordProcessing

java.lang.Object

de.must.util.AbstractWordProcessing

de.must.util.BatchWordProcessing

public class BatchWordProcessing
extends AbstractWordProcessing

Native interface to Word for Windows for batch mode use. Each instance uses a separate Word process. To create a new document, to serve bookmarks and to print it by your java application, code like this:

    try {
     BatchWordProcessing bwp = new BatchWordProcessing();
     // first document
     bwp.createNewDocumentFromTemplate("SampleTemplate");
     bwp.typeTextAtBookmark("AddressLine1", "O'Reilly & Associated, Inc.");
     bwp.typeTextAtBookmark("AddressLine2", "Mr Miller");
     bwp.typeTextAtBookmark("AddressLine3", "101 Moris Street");
     bwp.typeTextAtBookmark("AddressLine4", "Sebastopol, CA 95472-9902");
     bwp.typeTextAtBookmark("Salutation", "Dear Mr Miller,");
     bwp.printAndForget();
     // next document
     bwp.createNewDocumentFromTemplate("SampleTemplate");
     bwp.typeTextAtBookmark("AddressLine1", "Company X");
     bwp.typeTextAtBookmark("AddressLine2", "Mister A");
     bwp.printAndForget();
     // next document
     bwp.createNewDocumentFromTemplate("SampleTemplate");
     bwp.typeTextAtBookmark("AddressLine1", "Frima Y");
     bwp.typeTextAtBookmark("AddressLine2", "Herrn B");
     bwp.printAndForget();
     // finally
     bwp.quitApplicationAfterWaiting(5000);
     bwp.exec();
   } catch(IOException ioe) {
     de.must.io.Logger.getInstance().error(getClass(), ioe);
   }
 

By default, WordAPI.exe will wait 5000 milliseconds after the last command sent to word (e.g. print) before it tries to quit the word application. Thus, word terminating problems are avoided. Use higher waiting intervals if necessary, e.g. quitApplicationAfterWaiting(10000)
