Controlling table row height for document in poi

Question

I am trying to draw a table in poi using XWPF component using the below code

     // InputStream in= Temp.class.getResourceAsStream("Sample.docx");

      XWPFDocument doc = new XWPFDocument();

      XWPFTable table=doc.createTable(2,2);

     //  CTDecimalNumber rowSize = table.getCTTbl().getTblPr().getTblStyleRowBandSize();
      // rowSize.setVal(new BigInteger("10"));
     // table.getRow(1).setHeight(0);
      table.getRow(0).getCell(0).setText("Row-0-Cell-0");
      table.getRow(0).getCell(1).setText("Row-0-Cell-1");
      table.getRow(1).getCell(0).setText("Row-1-Cell-0");
      table.getRow(1).getCell(1).setText("Row-1-Cell-1");

      FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("simpleTable.docx");
      doc.write(out);
      out.close();

It draws the table properly but The height of the cells are too big and width also does not falls properly in place. I saw in a note that the table are supposed to auto fit as per the content. Tried couple of things which are as follows:

Tried setting the height as shown in the commented code above but that did not worked.
Tried reading an existing doc as shown in inputstream commented code. That gave an exception that could not read a poi-ooxml file.
Tried using TblStyleRowBandSize but that always remains null. Not sure how to create a new instance of CTDecimalNumber or TblStyleRowBandSize

thanks in advance.

Some more insight: When I create an empty table, and add rows and column by using create, it works fine and does not inserts the formatting character. But making an empty table results in a cell created at the begining and I am still trying to find a way to remove that first column. New code

   XWPFTable table=doc.createTable();

    XWPFTableRow row1 =  table.createRow();
    row1.createCell().setText("Row-0-Cell-0");
    row1.createCell().setText("Row-0-Cell-1");
    XWPFTableRow row2 =  table.createRow();
    row2.createCell().setText("Row-1-Cell-0");
    row2.createCell().setText("Row-1-Cell-1");

I think the autofit is working but what is happening is that there are extra line breaks inserted which I see after turning the visibility of formatting symbols. Not sure why XWPF is inserting those formatting in the cell. — lalit, Jul 15 '11 at 05:49

I'm not sure on most of your query, but I can help with the last bit, you'll want something like:

    if(! table.getTblPr().isSetTblStyleRowBandSize()) {
       table.getTblPr().addNewTblStyleRowBandSize();
    }
    System.out.println("Was " + table.getTblPr().getTblStyleRowBandSize().getVal());
    table.getTblPr().getTblStyleRowBandSize().setVal(new BigInteger("12345"));
    System.out.println("Now " + table.getTblPr().getTblStyleRowBandSize().getVal());

Thanks for reply. getTbalPr is private so changed it to table.getCTTbl().getTblPr(). However I realized the issue is more of insertion of formatting symbol as I have put in the comment of the question. – lalit Jul 15 '11 at 05:50
