>I'm using the latest API

If you are using "POI 2.5 FINAL", I found that it has a serious major error
when the .xls file contains any graphics.

Refer to http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27933

Maybe you could add to it your findings too. Thanks!


Regards,
Daniel

Subject: Corruption problem with Excel


Hi all

I've just started experimenting with POI. I encountered a problem which I
didn't manage to find any help on it. I started with a simple code like
this which simply reads an excel file and writes it back into a new file
without modifying it (I think).

                try {
                        iStream = new FileInputStream("Errors Analysis.xls");
                        fs = new POIFSFileSystem(iStream);
                        wb = new HSSFWorkbook(fs);
                        oStream = new FileOutputStream("wb2.xls");
                        wb.write(oStream);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                        System.exit(0);
                } finally {
                        if (iStream != null) {
                                try {
                                        iStream.close();
                                } catch (Exception e) {
                                        iStream = null;
                                }
                        }
                        if (oStream != null) {
                                try {
                                        oStream.close();
                                } catch (Exception e) {
                                        oStream = null;
                                }
                        }
                }



With a simple excel file this works fine. But if in the excel file I have
a graph, or an image, or a pivot table, then the file gets corrupted and
looses all formatting. I read that POI is not able to format such objects
but it does support them.
Is this something wrong with POI or am I doing something wrong? I'm using
the latest API, Windows XP and JDK 1.3.1. I tried working on a 2002 and
2003 format excel file.

Thanks
Edward
