ExcelAccessor

Posted by Michelle on May 18, 2001 at 3:36 PM

IBM's published a free set of beans called ExcelAccessor; they make manipulating Excel files very easy - I don't think there's support for changing font types, but you can change the value of a particular cell on a particular sheet, etc. I think you have to use JDBC-ODBC stuff if you want to use native Java classes, but I'm not really sure.

> I have a hot problem: I need to create MS Excel file from a servlet. I've found how to do it in earlier messages.

> But I haven't found how to navigate between cells and how to make the font bold, for example. Is it possible with native Java classes?
