Using new Docx Emitter programmatically [message #1129372]

Hi,

I tried to upgrade to Birt 4.3.1 in order to make use of the new docx emitter.

I tried to use it by using DocxRenderOptions and setting the outputFormat to "docx" and writing a file with the docx extension. However, Birt tell me that "docx" is not supported (yes, I'm sure I compile against 4.3.1).
The format extension "docx" is just not in the format2MIMEType list.

So I figured I need to explicitly setting the emitter ID. However, using "org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.docx" leads to another exception telling me this emitter is not valid.

What am I doing wrong? here's my code setting the render options:

case DOCX:
	DocxRenderOption docxRenderOption = new DocxRenderOption();
	OutputStream docxStream = createOutputStream(format); // format needs to be "doc" in order to make it happen
	if (docxStream != null) {
		docxRenderOption.setOutputStream(docxStream);
	} else {
		docxRenderOption.setOutputFileName(getOutputFileName(format));
	}
	docxRenderOption.setOutputFormat(getBIRTFormat(format)); // getBirtFormat returns doc in order to make it happen
	docxRenderOption.setEmitterID("org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.docx"); // this does not work... why? Even when format is docx it does not work
	docxRenderOption.setOption(IRenderOption.HTML_PAGINATION, Boolean.TRUE);
	docxRenderOption.setOption(IRenderOption.RENDER_DPI, 96);
	docxRenderOption.setOption(IPDFRenderOption.PAGE_OVERFLOW, IPDFRenderOption.FIT_TO_PAGE_SIZE);
	return docxRenderOption;

Okay, I figured that I missed to add some dependencies in the platform feature.
These are:
* org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.config.docx
* org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.docx
* org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.ooxml

I'm using the same method as Robert. But I'm always getting the error:
EmitterID org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.docx for render option is invalid.

I have included the following library to my project: org.eclipse.birt.runtime_4.3.2.v20140225-1404.jar
This library includes the package "rg.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.docx" - The package is as well accessible in the class.

Do you have any idea how I may use the docx emitter?
Thank you very much.

What version of BIRT are you using? Can you explain your problem a
little more?
