RtfWriter2 was (Re: Word document generation (header, footer, page numbering))
Whats the correct path to the RtfWriter2 class? I thought it would be com.lowagie.text.RtfWriter2 but it can't find that, I have googled all over the place for it. I've created the document object now I need to pass that to RtfWriter2.getInstance() but can't seem to instantiate a RtfWriter2 object. Any hep would be appreciated, I'm so damned close :) Also, how do you find these out? I assumed there would be some way through introspection but can't seem to figure out how to get the info, I'm dumping the objects I have but I just get the methods and properties, no info on children or super or anything.

Re: RtfWriter2 was (Re: Word document generation (header, footer, page numbering))
Moving on: I have: cfset docPath = expandPath(./testDoc.rtf) cfset myFile = CreateObject(java,java.io.FileOutputStream).Init(CreateObject(java,java.io.File).Init(docPath)) cfscript paths = arrayNew(1); /* This points to the jar we want to load. Could also load a directory of .class files */ paths[1] = expandPath(iText-2.1.2u.jar); paths[2] = expandPath(iText-rtf-2.1.2u.jar); //create the loader loader = createObject(component, javaloader.JavaLoader).init(paths); myDoc = loader.create(com.lowagie.text.Document).init(); myRTF = loader.create(com.lowagie.text.rtf.RtfWriter2); // myRTF = myRTF.init(myDoc,myFile) // thisRTF = myRTF.getInstance(myRTF, myFile); /cfscript cfdump var=myRTF No I need to instantiate an object of type RtfWriter2 the constructor takes type Document and OutputStream. I would have though my init() would work but CF says it can't find a constructor that takes these types, what am I doing wrong here? Does anyone have a basic hello world example I could take a look at that uses these classes? Once I can get to having the RtfWriter2 I'm pretty sure I can figure it our the rest of the methods seem pretty easy to use and the lowagie site has some good examples. Loathe wrote: Disregard.

Re: RtfWriter2 was (Re: Word document generation (header, footer, page numbering))
Once again disregard, I figured it out. A hello world with RtfWriter2: cfset docPath = expandPath(testDoc.rtf) cfset myFile = CreateObject(java,java.io.FileOutputStream).Init(CreateObject(java,java.io.File).Init(docPath)) / cfscript paths = arrayNew(1); /* This points to the jar we want to load. Could also load a directory of .class files */ paths[1] = expandPath(iText-2.1.2u.jar); paths[2] = expandPath(iText-rtf-2.1.2u.jar); //create the loader loader = createObject(component, javaloader.JavaLoader).init(paths); myDoc = loader.create(com.lowagie.text.Document).init(); myRTF = loader.create(com.lowagie.text.rtf.RtfWriter2); thisRTF = myRTF.getInstance(myDoc, myFile); myDoc.open(); myPara = loader.create(com.lowagie.text.Paragraph); para = myPara.init(Hello World); myDoc.add(para); myDoc.close(); /cfscript Loathe wrote: Moving on: I have: cfset docPath = expandPath(./testDoc.rtf) cfset myFile = CreateObject(java,java.io.FileOutputStream).Init(CreateObject(java,java.io.File).Init(docPath)) cfscript paths = arrayNew(1); /* This points to the jar we want to load.
