Sorry, I didn't provide much information. I hit send to soon. :>) I am not sure what record is triggering. I have the 3.7 beta, I didn't know the 3.7 final was out. I will grab it.
I am posting my xls to the server. I verified the bytes arrive ok, by immediately writing them out to a temp file. Excel can open this file ok. The spreadsheet is very small. 1 Sheet, about 15 columns, about 15 rows. Most text. On the server, I do.. ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(decoded); // decoded is the xls. MissingRecordAwareHSSFListener listener = new MissingRecordAwareHSSFListener(this); formatListener = new FormatTrackingHSSFListener(listener); HSSFEventFactory factory = new HSSFEventFactory(); HSSFRequest request = new HSSFRequest(); workbookBuildingListener = new SheetRecordCollectingListener(formatListener); request.addListenerForAllRecords(workbookBuildingListener); factory.processEvents(request, dis); And, I get org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFormatException: The content of an excel record cannot exceed 8224 bytes at org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordInputStream.nextRecord(RecordInputStream.java:200) at org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFactoryInputStream$StreamEncryptionInfo.<init>(RecordFactoryInputStream.java:53) at org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFactoryInputStream.<init>(RecordFactoryInputStream.java:167) at org.apache.poi.hssf.eventusermodel.HSSFEventFactory.genericProcessEvents(HSSFEventFactory.java:139) at org.apache.poi.hssf.eventusermodel.HSSFEventFactory.processEvents(HSSFEventFactory.java:106) Thanks for any help. -S -----Original Message----- From: Nick Burch [mailto:nick.bu...@alfresco.com] Sent: Monday, November 15, 2010 4:00 PM To: POI Users List Subject: Re: cannot exceed 8224 bytes On Mon, 15 Nov 2010, Pruitt, Byron S wrote: > I am getting the org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFormatException: The > content of an excel record cannot exceed 8224 bytes exception.

Generally all the records that can be continued to extend past the 8224 byte barrier already have support in for that, but occasionally we discover one that can be large but we didn't know that. If you're hitting it with 3.7 final, then you'll almost certainly need to open a bug report and describe what record you're hitting it on, and how to trigger it Nick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@poi.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@poi.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@poi.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@poi.apache.org
