Hi Bruno,
Thanks for your quick response. I have some more issues.
1. While define the XML tags for Table & Cells. I couldn't able to set the Border color. My XML coding is
<!-- table-->
<tag name="table" alias="TABLE_NOBORDER_2COLS_25PCT">
<attribute name="border" value="true" />
<attribute name="align" value="Left" />
<attribute name="width" value="25%" />
<attribute name="widths" value="50;50" />
<attribute name="tablefitspage" value="false" />
<attribute name="cellpadding" value="1" />
<attribute name="cellspacing" value="0" />
<attribute name="columns" value="2" />
<attribute name="offset" value="0" />
<attribute name="bordercolor" value="#000000"/>
<attribute name="backgroundcolor" value="#FFFFFF"/>
</tag>
<tag name="table" alias="TABLE_NOBORDER_2COLS_25PCT">
<attribute name="border" value="true" />
<attribute name="align" value="Left" />
<attribute name="width" value="25%" />
<attribute name="widths" value="50;50" />
<attribute name="tablefitspage" value="false" />
<attribute name="cellpadding" value="1" />
<attribute name="cellspacing" value="0" />
<attribute name="columns" value="2" />
<attribute name="offset" value="0" />
<attribute name="bordercolor" value="#000000"/>
<attribute name="backgroundcolor" value="#FFFFFF"/>
</tag>
<!-- cell -->
<tag name="cell" alias="TABLE_CELL_LEFT_MIDDLE">
<attribute name="border" value="true" />
<attribute name="verticalalign" value="Left" />
<attribute name="horizontalalign" value="Middle" />
<attribute name="cellsfitpage" value="false" />
<attribute name="bordercolor" value="#000000"/>
<attribute name="borderwidth" value="5"/>
<attribute name="backgroundcolor" value="#FFFFFF"/>
</tag>
<tag name="cell" alias="TABLE_CELL_LEFT_MIDDLE">
<attribute name="border" value="true" />
<attribute name="verticalalign" value="Left" />
<attribute name="horizontalalign" value="Middle" />
<attribute name="cellsfitpage" value="false" />
<attribute name="bordercolor" value="#000000"/>
<attribute name="borderwidth" value="5"/>
<attribute name="backgroundcolor" value="#FFFFFF"/>
</tag>
Can you tell me what is wrong in this.
2. This is related to No.4 in the previous mail. I have tagmap.xml file, which has the Tag mapping follows.
<!-- tagmap.xml-->
<tagmap>
<tag name="itext" alias="ROOT" />
<tag name="newpage" alias="NEW_PAGE" />
<tag name="newline" alias="NEW_LINE" />
<tag name="paragraph" alias="PARA_LEFT_BOLD_BLACK_10">
<attribute name="leading" value="11" />
<attribute name="size" value="10" />
<attribute name="style" value="bold" />
</tag>
<tagmap>
<tag name="itext" alias="ROOT" />
<tag name="newpage" alias="NEW_PAGE" />
<tag name="newline" alias="NEW_LINE" />
<tag name="paragraph" alias="PARA_LEFT_BOLD_BLACK_10">
<attribute name="leading" value="11" />
<attribute name="size" value="10" />
<attribute name="style" value="bold" />
</tag>
...
</tagmap>
Another file values.xml which used tagmap.xml
<!- -values.xml -->
<ROOT>
<PARA_LEFT_BOLD_BLACK_10>The sum assured is #SUM_ASSURED# </PARA_LEFT_BOLD_BLACK_10>
</ROOT>
Here I want to replace the #SUM_ASSURED# to $ 86456.80.
Can you tell me is it possible using XmlPeer?
My Code is ...
SAXParser parser = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
parser.parse("values.xml",
new SISAXmyHandler(document, new TagMap("tagmap.xml")));
Can you help me proceed further?
Thanks & Regards

Not that I know of.

Override the Handler class so that the document isn't closed
while parsing. Look at the way it is done in the Chapter 12 example:
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/examples/Chap1201.java
if (isDocumentRoot(peer.getTag())) {
return;
}

<table>
<row>
<cell></cell>
...
<cell></cell>
</row>
...
<row>
<cell></cell>
...
<cell></cell>
</row>
</table>
See the constructors of Table and Cell that take a Properties object
as parameter to see what attributes are possible.

It should beand yes it's possible:
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/tutorial/ch07.html#datamerging
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/examples/Chap0705.java
Make an XmlPeer and set the content:
XmlPeer peer = new XmlPeer(ElementTags.CHUNK, "SUM_ASSURED");
peer.setContent("1.000 $");
Add this peer to the tagmap.
