Hello Veena, It's patently untenable to write on a POI mailing list: > I am not trying to learn poi, I need it urgently for work.
If you make a request for help with an open source project you should do your best to: (a) - make sure you have a real, relevant problem (b) - make it clear exactly is going wrong You have provided so few details as to what you are trying to achieve, the code you have written so far, and the actual error you are receiving that it is nearly impossible to help you. It's quite unusual to get this far (three users helping already) without any real progress. The problems that you are describing seem to have nothing to do with POI. It's not even clear if you need POI at all. There are heaps of examples on-line that show how to stream an Excel file from a servlet. Please find more relevant forums to post non-POI related issues. BTW - You have said that you are trying to "read and edit an existing xls file". This may not work as transparently as you hope. As far as I understand, once the workbook is opened in the web browser, it can be edited but cannot be simply 'saved' back to the web server. To send the changes back to the server, the user must manually save the file locally and then upload that file with a standard HTTP multipart request. Again, this issue is quite independent of POI. regards, Josh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
