Svante Schubert commented on ODFTOOLKIT-471:
--------------------------------------------
IBM has created the Simple API, but abandoned support, so if you desire a fix
you might need it to do it yourself. That's the thing about open source, it is
free, but the service is not necessarily included. You know the slogan: Improve
the parts, that are itching you. :)
1) You get the latest sources. See
http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/source.html
2) There will be the need for a regression test, so best starting taking a look
at the existing ones. If you search for 'setFormatString' in
<YOUR_ODFTOOLKIT_DIR>/simple/src/test
You find a lot of occurrences in this class:
<YOUR_ODFTOOLKIT_DIR>/simple/src/test/java/org/odftoolkit/simple/table/TableCellTest.java
If you add your crash & "don't work" scenarios, you should be able to reproduce
the problem.
If there are any further questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Good Luck,
Svante

> Key: ODFTOOLKIT-471
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ODFTOOLKIT-471
> Project: ODF Toolkit
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: simple api
> Affects Versions: 0.6.2-incubating
> Reporter: Enrico Scantamburlo
> Priority: Major
>
> I need to create a ods document using the Apache ODF Toolking and to format
> the content of its cells.
> I was able to set a format for dates and simple numbers, but for some reason
> when I try to format with scientific notation it does not work. It fails to
> parse the string or it wraps the E00 into "E00"
> {code:java}
> Row numRow = rows.get(1);
> numRow.getCellByIndex(0).setDoubleValue(9.12345678);
> numRow.getCellByIndex(0).setFormatString("0.000"); // works
> //numRow.getCellByIndex(0).setFormatString("0.00E+00"); // crashes
> //numRow.getCellByIndex(0).setFormatString("0.00E00"); // does not work, it
> becomes 0.00"E00"
> {code}
> I also posted a question [ here |
