Re: read applied style name

[Axel Rose]

I have a solution for me.

By using java.lang.reflect.Field I'm able to access the private "record"
field of HSSFCell.

<code>
  import java.lang.reflect.Field;

  HSSFWorkbook wb;
  // ... initialize wb

  HSSFCell cell;
  // ... initialize cell by iterating through input

  String styleName = null;
  Field record = cell.getClass().getDeclaredField("record");
  record.setAccessible(true);
  try {
      LabelSSTRecord sstLabel = (LabelSSTRecord) record.get(cell);
      styleName = wb.getSSTString(sstLabel.getSSTIndex());
  }
  catch (Exception e) {
      System.err.println("WARNING: cannot get possible style name: " + e);
  }
  record.setAccessible(false);
  System.err.println("### style name: " + styleName);

</code>

This sees to be the only possible way to get what I want.
