Hi, I made a google search and found some articles on Stack Overflow : [1] and this one : [2]
(this one mentions another non Apache java framework called docx4j ).[3] What about investing some time doing some quick prototypes to get a feeling of the options ? Neither poi nor docx4j seem to be templating engines but you can use them to create documents programatically and you might be able to define your own rules for generating documents from templates.
