I think you should also upgrade your Apache POI version and switch to .xlsx
since the older format has a limit of about 65K records. Outside of that I
suggest you use an IResourceStream instead of writing to your web response.
Personally I use csv comma delimited since I don't do any magic beside
export those records to be viewed in Excel, edited and then imported back
via the webapp.
In any event this is how I do it via Wicket 6.x:
@Override
protected void onClick() {
IResourceStream csvStream = new
CsvResourceStream(service.exportAll(getSession().getLocale()));
String fileNameKey = ...;
getRequestCycle().scheduleRequestHandlerAfterCurrent(
new
ResourceStreamRequestHandler(csvStream).setFileName(ResourceKeyHelper.resour
ceValue(fileNameKey) + ".csv")
);
}
public class CsvResourceStream extends AbstractResourceStream {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public CsvResourceStream(ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream) {
super(outputStream.toByteArray());
IOUtils.closeQuietly(outputStream);
}
@Override
public String getContentType() {
return new StringBuilder()
.append("text/comma-separated-values, ")
.append("text/csv, ")
.append("application/csv, ")
.append("application/excel")
.toString();
}
}
You can switch it to your HSSFWorkbook and grab its byte content.

Subject: Generating spreadsheet to send to Client fails in 1.6
Hello,
I had code in Wicket 1.x that worked perfectly to dynamically generate a
spreadsheet and send it to the user. I had to rewrite it for the new
Response classes in 1.6:
public void generateExcel(String filename, List<List<? extends
Object>> dataList) {
HSSFWorkbook myWorkBook = new HSSFWorkbook();
HSSFSheet mySheet = myWorkBook.createSheet();
... (generate sheet from dataList using HSSFSheet methods)
WebResponse response = (WebResponse)getResponse();
webResponse.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
webResponse.setAttachmentHeader(filename + ".xls");
OutputStream out = webResponse.getOutputStream();
myWorkBook.write(out);
out.close();
}
The sheet is still being populated as I need, and the client is asked to
open or save the <filename>.xls file (as expected).
The problem with 1.6 is: the current page is sent rather than the sheet I've
built. My .xls viewer complains that the file is not in the correct format
and, when I display it anyway, contains the original Wicket page, head, css,
javascript and all.
The same problems happens when generating xml from the same data list:
WebResponse response = (WebResponse)getResponse();
response.setContentType("application/xml");
response.setAttachmentHeader(filename + ".xml");
XMLStreamWriter out =
XMLOutputFactory.newInstance().createXMLStreamWriter(response.getOutputStrea
m());
out.writeStartDocument();
... (generate XML document from dataList)
out.writeEndDocument();
out.close();
This also sends the original HTML page to the client.
Both methods worked perfectly before I migrated to Wicket 1.6, but now the
Response (returned by getResponse()) seems to behave differently. Any
ideas? Thank you very much.
