Thank you Hami. I did try your method but the result is the same. The XML
'stubborn_field' value is changed successfully to '77777777' using the
setValue method (and verified using the System out print) but once again the
actual value in the generated PDF is still empty.
String xml = nodeToString(vNode);
System.out.println(xml);
xml = setValue(xml, "stubborn_field", "77777777");
System.out.println(xml);
InputStream isXml = new ByteArrayInputStream(xml.getBytes());
AcroFields vStamperForm = stamper.getAcroFields();
XfaForm xfaForm = vStamperForm.getXfa();
xfaForm.fillXfaForm(isXml);
public static String setValue(String xml, String field, String value ) {
return xml.replaceFirst("<"+field+"\\>(.*)\\<\\/"+field+"\\>",
"<"+field+">"+value+"</"+field+">");
}
