need help to insert an image with a caption with the Libo java API

Hello everybody, 
	I thank you for your answers. Yes I want to add an image with a caption programmatically and I want a caption like this "Illustration 1 : My caption"
To my mind, it would be better/cleaner if I was able to generate the same thing than I do the UI. Thanks to you, I succeed to build the expected structure for the image and to set a text below it, but I still have some problems, mainly with the GetReference.

The GetReference generates :
<text:reference-ref text:reference-format="text" text:ref-name="refIllustration0">Erreur : source de la référence non trouvée</text:reference-ref>  (sorry my Libo is in French, it is written "Sorry : source of the reference not found").

And I would like to get a text:sequence instead of a text:reference, to get this result:
<text:sequence text:ref-name="refIllustration0" text:name="Illustration" text:formula="ooow:Illustration+1" style:num-format="1">1</text:sequence>

Please, do you know how I can build a text:sequence  ?
 
Please found in attachment the java code I wrote [1], the expect xml structure [2] and the current xml structure [3].
I know I have some difference between [2] and [3] with the width/height properties and inside the draw frame, but it is not the subject of this thread. 

[1] insertImage.java
[2] expectedResult.xml
[3] currentResult.xml

In addition, I have more generic question, do you know if it exists a documentation, indicating mapping, between the xml elements and how to get/create them from java ? For example, in xml svg:width is called Height in the java API, and my Textframe becomes <draw:text-box...<

Best regards,

And actually, if an image is not intended to be floating, but (as seen in majority of cases) is a part of normal text flow, then the frame could be not needed at all - simply add an image anchored as character, then add a paragraph with required style and numbering range field, then continue with other paragraphs. This makes the document structure clearer. Just an advise based on own experience.
