Java and Excel

EdChouaffeNov 5 2011 — edited Nov 8 2011
Hi guys,

I have come to a point in my Application (that I'm writing in Java) where I need to create XML files that can be read with Excel (the spreadsheet editor of Microsoft or something similar). The problem arises when it comes to writing an XML file that comes up with multiple worksheets when opened with Excel. There is actually no way to break an XML file so that Excel will recognize it as containing multiple worksheets. The Excel file will just be one worksheet.

I though perhaps there is a Java API for Excel that can handle things like creating Excel files, creating multiple worksheets in a workbook etc..

Do you know of any API that can do that? A quick search on google yields JExcelAPI. Is it a good one?

Thanks.
Edmond

Leigh - If you can put your application on apex.oracle.com, I will try it there and see what I can figure out. What version of Application Express are you using?

Thank you for the reply...We are currently using version 3.1.1.00.09 on an Oracle 10gR2 database. I will try to post the application to the hosted environment as requested, but it will be the first time I have done so, so be prepared for further questions...or if you guys have a document outlining the how's and "gotcha" that would be good too.

Thanks,
Leigh

I'm totally confused now....it usually doesn't take much especially on a Monday morning. I was able to export the three components without errors today. We have been seeing an extraordinarily high load on the system due to other testing and development going on. I'm wondering if the load issue may be related, though I don't see exactly how that could be.

Anyhow, I've attempted to upload my application to the hosted site numerous times now. It is a large application and is timing out during the install. I removed some of the pages and security functions, but it appears I probably removed too much, since I'm getting an Oracle error when installing now.

As the problem is intermittent, even in my environment, I'm going to guess that the issue isn't in APEX, but rather something in my environment.
