I am using docx4j to load, manipulate and save Word files. Everything works perfectly

  • 0

I am using docx4j to load, manipulate and save Word files. Everything works perfectly but there is one thing i don’t know how to implement it.
What I want is something like a version control – that means if you save a document it shall be possible to recover a earlier version of this document (e.g. by saving only the delta). Maybe you can describe it that is should be something like SVN or Git where you can go back to an earlier version of your files.
The problem is that i do not know any possibility to realize that. So I hope that anyone of you can help me. It would be fine if anyone at least know a package or something else that can do this with files in general and not especially with the docx Files.
Thanks for your help!

Edit: I am sorry that my question was imprecise. This was my first post here, in future i will improve 😉

    I think you should use Git for this, I found a Java API called JavaGit, so you can have easy access the repository.
    With Git you can have a local repository where you can commit files and switch versions. If you need it you could also push and pull the data to a remote location.

    Better use JGit like Gian said!
