I'm following the itextpdf example http://itextpdf.com/sandbox/htmlworker/HtmlContentForCell.
I have the following code:
// Relevant code from main part of the class:
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 40, 40, 40, 40);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, baos);
document.open();
document.add(buildContent());
document.close();
// method that should provide content to the document.
public PdfPTable buildContent() throws IOException {
InfoList infoList = infoListInstance.get();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2);
for (InfoListMessage message
: infolistList.getMessages()) {
renderMessageMetadata(message, table);
renderMessageContent(message, table);
}
return table;
}
// method where the problem occurs and exception is thrown in the for-loop line
public void renderMessageContent(
InfoListMessage message,
PdfPTable table) throws IOException {
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();
for (Element e : XMLWorkerHelper.parseToElementList(message.getContent(), null)) {
cell.addElement(e);
}
table.addCell(cell);
}
The line with the for-loop "for (Element e ..." causes the following exception:
java.lang.ClassCastException: com.itextpdf.tool.xml.html.pdfelement.NoNewLineParagraph cannot be cast to com.itextpdf.text.Element
Why? I can't find any info on this exception by googling.
In this case, the html-snippet - returned by message.getContent() - I was trying to use, looks originally like this:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
justrandomtexthere
</body>
</html>
