Interface ITypeResolver<S,T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractToTextResolver, DateResolver, FallbackResolver, ImageResolver

public interface ITypeResolver<S,T>

A type resolver is responsible for mapping an object of a certain Java class to an object of the DOCX4J api that can be put into the .docx document. Type resolvers are used to replace placeholders within the .docx template.

Example: if an expression returns a Date object as result, this date object is passed to a DateResolver which creates a R object (run of text) containing the properly formatted date string.

To use your own type resolver, implement this interface and register your implementation by calling DocxStamper.getTypeResolverRegistry().registerTypeResolver().
