Can you please suggest me any api for reading excel files.
Right now i am using jxl.jar for this purpose but i am searching for an open source java api better than this.
Whether POI gives better than this ?
Thanks,

Api for reading .cfg files

Hello everyone,
Once I saw an api for reading typical .cfg files, in which ## are comments, [xx] are labels... Now I need to use it but I don't remember the api any more.
Can somebody tell me which class do I have to use?
Thanks a lot

Now I need
to use it but I don't remember the api any more.http://java.sun.com/docs/
There is nothing that I'm aware of in the api that has the same functionality as MFC GetPrivateProfileString(...)
You could use a properties files like most other people, otherwise you are going to have to implement it yourself.

Alternative APIs for reading Zip files?

Hi all.
At the moment, our application handles zip files by copying the zip file to the temp directory and then creating a new ZipFile. However, the larger the zip file we encounter, the slower this copy becomes. We also need random access to the Zip file, so the usual workaround of using ZipInputStream is also slow, although slightly faster for random access than copying the entire file.
I raised a bug requesting a better constructor for ZipFile, but it was turned down as they seemed to think I didn't want random access.
But does anyone know of any alternative APIs which can access Zip files in a more random access fashion? I've discovered a few other alternative implementations of ZipFile, but all of them so far have had this issue of requiring a File.

intensive. I am basically searching through zip
files to find a file and then taking that inputstream
for processing. I am basically looping through the
zip file until i match the filename....pretty crazy.I think it is pretty I/O intensive...hence slower
to see what I can do to increase performance. I am
using the following parameters:
-Xms512m -Xmx1024M -Xss16M -XX:ThreadStackSize=256
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
Parameters look ok. I am not sure what -XX:ThreadStackSize will do as -Xss also sets the stack size? you can also try to pass -server and keep both Xms and Xmx to 1024 and see if it brings any improvement.

Most popular api for modifying excel spreadsheets?

I googled a bit and it seems like POI and jexcel are the most popular ? I'm interested in hearing your opinions... I've tried POI and I find it OK, but I wish I had more features like copying a row and "pasting/inserting" it into another row and copying formulas and having it modified as you "paste" it to another cell.
edit:
scratch jexcel off the list... it's not free :(

hi,
POI is best
The most popular API for manipulating Excel files is Apache POI (http://jakarta.apache.org/poi). This is an API for reading office-documents in general. For reading Excel there is the hssf subproject (http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf). They also have a list of alternative projects that can be used for accessing Excel files (http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/alternatives.html)
You can also read in the excel file through the jexcel api (http://www.andykhan.com/jexcelapi/)
once you can read in the entire excel file into java, you can create your own Java object structure and go from there.

Looking for pure Java API to read metadata from an MP4 file.

Hi, I am looking for a pure Java api that can read MP4 metadata. I have been trying to look online for one but have not found anything
suitable. If there are no good api's, can someone point me to resources on how to parse metadata from an MP4, tutorials would be great
as well. I have looked online for that as well but have not found much. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to read Excel file in java

Respected sir/madam
I want to read the values from Excel file in Java program. How can I do that. When I searched over the net I came to know that you can treat Excel file as a Database and write the code as u write for making DB connections .
I did that but i am getting the following error ..can anybody please help..
This is the code what i have written
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class ReadExcelFile {
Connection c;
Statement stmnt;
public void checkABA_Number()
try
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:ExcelTest","",""); // ExcelTest is the DSN name
stmnt = c.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmnt.executeQuery("select * from abadata"); // abadata is my Excel file name
while(rs.next())
System.out.println(rs.getString(1)+" "+rs.getString(2));
}catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(""+e.toString());
finally
try
stmnt.close();
c.close();
catch( Exception e )
System.err.println( e );
public static void main(String[] args)
new ReadExcelFile().checkABA_Number();
My Excel file starts from the first row and first column and also the first row contains the names of the column.
It give me the following error..
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'abadata'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.
How can I deal with this.?I have properly selected the worksheet while giving the DSN . Is there any versionig problem with Excel or some drivers are in appropriate..and yes i chose Microsoft Excel Driver (.xsl) from ODBC .
I created System DSN.
Can anybody please help me with this ? I will be very gratefull for replies
Thanks in advance

here is the code to read excel file
public void readexel(String filename)
Connection c = null;
Statement stmnt = null;
try
Class.forName( "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" );
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};DBQ=" + filename);
stmnt = c.createStatement();
String query = "Select * from [Sheet1$]" ;
ResultSet rs = stmnt.executeQuery( query );
while( rs.next() )
System.out.println( rs.getString(1) );

Java API for running entire ".sql" files on a remote DB ( mySQL or Oracle)?

Hi,
Would anyone happen to know if there's a java API for executing entire ".sql" files (containing several different SQL commands), on a remote database server ?
It's enough if the API works with MySQL and/or Oracle.
Just to demonstrate what i'm looking for:
Suppose you've created sql file "c:/test.sql" with several script lines:
-- test.sql:
insert into TABLE1 values(3,3);
insert into TABLE1 values(5,5);
create table TABLE2 (name VARCHER) ENGINE innoDB; -- MYSQL specific
Then the java API should look something like:
// Dummy java code:
String driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String url= "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myDb";
SomeAPI.executeScriptFile( "c:/test.sql", driver, url);
Thanks.

No such a API, but it's easy to parse all sqls in a file, then run those command:
For instance:
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.Properties;
/* A demo show how to load some sql statements. */
public class testSQL {
private final static Object[] getSQLStatements(java.util.Vector v) {
Object[] statements = new Object[v.size()];

temp = v.elementAt(i);

else

return statements;

Error reading excel file using POI.

Hi ,
I am having some problem when reading the excel file.
While reading excel file I am getting error-java.io.IOException: Unable to read entire block; 4 bytes read; expected 512 bytes.
part of my code:-
InputStream stream = objFormFile.getInputStream();
POIFSFileSystem fs = new POIFSFileSystem(stream);//getting above error here.
HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(fs);
Case 1:
I download the file on the system ,save it ,and then directly upload it to the system ,I get the above error .
Case 2:
It works fine if I download the excel and manually open and save it and then upload it .
I am using JDK1.4.1 and poi-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar.
Can any one please help me out for the above problem?
Edited by: hruday on Jul 31, 2008 3:20 AM

Instead of using POIFSFileSystem, try to directly create the HSSFWorkbook
InputStream stream = objFormFile.getInputStream();
//POIFSFileSystem fs = new POIFSFileSystem( stream );//getting above error here.
HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook( stream );

Java API for Adobe Flex(AIR and Browser)

Hello Community,
Sometime ago i started the project located at: : http://code.google.com/p/gwt4air/ , wich primary goal was to bring another approach on writing AIR application by providing a Java API for the AIR API. On top of that i added support for PDF and Excel generation using Java.
I m glad to announce that the project will now add support for the Flex Framework
I wrote a post about it on the main page.
The Idea behind it is to give Java Developers a more simple way to write Flex Application by leaveraing a swing like API.
I hope this project will be a good alternative to the MXML+ ActionScript approach and looking for people willing to join the project.

Alain

Good question, I'd like to know this myself. 4.5 has a huge number of changes since 4.0.

EWS JAVA API for availability is giving only 10 suggested times in a particular day

I'm using EWS JAVA API for seeing the availability of contacts who had shared their calender with me. Here in the suggested timings, I can able to see only 10 suggested timings even though there can be more than 10 suggested slots.
I would like to check is there any limit on suggested times ?
API is also giving quality of timing like "Good", "Excellent" on what basis this is decided ?

You can specify the maximum number of suggestions per day using the MaximumResultsByDay parameter (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa565641(v=exchg.150).aspx).
The quality is determined based on how many attendees are available and is influenced by the GoodThreshold:

Hi Nils,
Follow below steps.
Yes you can get it from service market place.
Follow below steps.
1) Log in to service market place.
2) Click on "Download" Tab
3) On Left side click on SAP Software Distribution Center -->Download > Support Packages and Patches> Entry By Application Group.
4) On Right side. Support Packages and Patches>SAP Application Components> SAP CRM> SAP CRM 2007> Entry by Component--> CRM Application Server Java
5) Click on "SAP SHARED JAVA COMPONENTS"
6) From Below screen click on "Download" tab and Download "SAPSHRJAVxx_x-xxxxxxxx.SCA" file.
7) Open "SAPSHRJAVxx_x-xxxxxxxx.SCA" file by "WINRAR" and unzip on your local laptop.
8) After unzip you will get several zip files under folder "BUILDARCHIVES"
9) Find "crmshrjavadoc" file inside folder "BUILDARCHIVES"
10) Unzip "crmshrjavadoc" file and you will get "javadoc.ppa" file
11) Rename "Javadoc.ppa" file to "Javadoc.zip"
12) Unzip "Javadoc.zip" file which we just rename in step 11.
13) you will get folder "Docs". This folder contain actual "javadoc.zip" file
14) Unzip above file and you will get Java API Documents for ISA 5.0 or ISA 6.0 or ISA 7.0 depends on "SAPSHRJAVxx_x-xxxxxxxx.SCA" version and SP level.
I just got ISA Java Doc by following above steps. It looks 14 step but once you download SCA file it will take only 2-3 minutes.
I am sure you will get Standard Java API for ISA just like ISA 4.0
Please let me know if you face any problem.
