[Solved] Nested table - openoffice writer java API

[liquid]

I want to create nested table by using JAVA api in OpenOffice writer. I have tried many ways so far but didn't get success.But by using the following code, I could insert one table in an existing table cell. But, this happens only once. Say,I have a parent table called T1 and I want to insert one child table (T2) in each cell of the T1. By using the following code, I can insert T2 only once in one cell only.After that, it simply throws the exception.

//create instance of a text table - Child table
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
com.sun.star.text.XTextTable xTT0 = null;

try {
com.sun.star.lang.XMultiServiceFactory xDocMSF =
UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
com.sun.star.lang.XMultiServiceFactory.class, xTemplateComponent);

Object oInt0 = xDocMSF.createInstance("com.sun.star.text.TextTable");
xTT0 = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(com.sun.star.text.XTextTable.class,oInt0);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Couldn't create instance "+ e);
e.printStackTrace(System.err);
}

//initialize the text table with 2 columns an 2 rows
xTT0.initialize(2,2);

////////////////////////////////////////////////
Now, say I want to insert the above table in an existing table (xTextTable), in two positions by using the following code:-

try {

XCellRange xCellRangeHeader = (XCellRange) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XCellRange.class, xTextTable);

xCell = xCellRangeHeader.getCellByPosition(1, 3);

XText xCellText0 = (XText) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XText.class, xCell);

xCellText0.insertTextContent(xCellText0.createTextCursor().getEnd(), xTT0, false);

xCell = xCellRangeHeader.getCellByPosition(1, 4);

XText xCellText1 = (XText) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XText.class, xCell);

xCellText1.insertTextContent(xCellText1.createTextCursor().getEnd(), xTT0, false);

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

When I execute my code, it inserts one child table in (1,3) position but when it tries to insert in (1,4) or in any other cell it gives the following exception:-
com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException: SwXTextTable: already attached to range.

Please help.

You must create an instance of a text table each time you want to insert a new table.
