Hi Oliver,
We build an internal tool similar to your description using a
combination or Apache POI and Freemarker (the web framework for UI is
Apache Tapestry). Output documents we need are DOCX.
The hard part, as you probably already know, is to give users the
ability to manipulate templates. Document assembly process is pretty
straightforward.
So yes, at least for our simple internal tool, Apache POI works. Not
familiar with docx4j so can't speak to that.
