how to load html to styledocument

Question

I'm using a StyleDocument to display my content in a JTextPane. I searched for a while and saw that I can write with the HTMLEditorKit the document I get from the textpane to a file. But when I want to read this file with the HTMLEditorKit it doesn't parse in the right document. I get two different results:

1. I get the plain html code in my textpane
2. I get no content in my textpane

Saving:

Document doc = textpane.getStyledDocument();
HTMLEditorKit kit = new HTMLEditorKit();
kit.write(new FileOutputStream("path"), doc, 0, doc.getLength());

Loading (2 versions):

HTMLEditorKit kit = new HTMLEditorKit();
Document doc = null;
Document doc2 = kit.createDefaultDocument();

kit.read(new FileInputStream("path"), doc, 0);
kit.read(new FileInputStream("path"), doc2, 0);

textpane.setDocument(doc);
textpane.setDocument(doc2);

Answer 1

When you initialize your JTextPane add the following line: textpane.setContentType("text/html");

Change Saving to look like this:

Document document = textpane.getStyledDocument();
EditorKit kit = textpane.getEditorKit();
kit.write(new FileOutputStream(new File("path")), doc, 0, doc.getLength());

Change Loading to look like this:

EditorKit kit = pane2.getEditorKit();
Document doc = kit.createDefaultDocument();
kit.read(new FileInputStream(new File("path")), doc, 0);
textpane.setDocument(doc);

Using this setup in my test environment I was able to set the text in a JTextPane to some html, get the html from the pane, write it to a file and subsequently read it back from that same file. I didn't see any reason to use a HTMLEditorKit as you are not doing anything html specific however you can change that as you see fit.
