Downloading excel in 2010 instead of 2003 through webdynpro java application

Hi Experts,
We have developed a webdynpro java application where we are downloading an excel file through linktourl UI element. we are not using any external jars to create that excel and we used simple java.io API. When we run the application and trying to download the excel, by default it is asking us to save in 2003 instead of 2010. I came to know that it depends on the version of MS office available / installed in SAP portal server. Can somebody provide SAP official links to support this?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi Jun,
Thanks for your reply. We know by using Apache POI external jars we can achieve the functionality. But we don't want to do major changes to the existing application to just download the excel in 2010 format instead of 2003.
Is there any other way to do without using the external jars. I mean simple coding / configuration or any work around.
Regards,
Pradeep

Validation of data fields in the Excel through webdynpro java

Hi all,
I have requirement as below:
There are data fields in the Excel File which are mandatory.When we are uploading the Excel file through webdynpro java it should validate the mandatory data fields are filled or not.Can anybody please send the required code or any related links.
Thanks,
Prakash.

Hi Surya,
As per my info, you need to upload the file first then only web dynpro will be able to check for the mandatory fields.
Do this, while reading the buffer from the excel, just check the size of desired columns. Hope that will help.

We are trying to implement a process so that any document that needs to be printed through our Java application will be printed as PDF using Adobe Reader.

Retrieving cookies when logging into java forums through a java application

Hello --
I am currently working on a spider application that will have the ability to login to sites of interest and then begin crawling.
I thought an easy place to start would be to login to java forums. However, I have run into a bit of a snag with all of the cookies....
The following is the information that I am posting:
action = "login"
url = "http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jsp"
UserId // my username
Password // my password
Submit = "Log in"
AutoLogin = "1"
I am doing this using HttpURLConnection that was created using http://developer.java.sun.com/servlet/SessionServlet as the URL. Then I create an output stream etc:
OutputStream os = huc.getOutputStream();
os.write(sb.toString().getBytes("US-ASCII")); // where sb is a StringBuffer which contains the above information separated with &'s
os.close();
This is when I run into my problem...Next, I try to obtain the session cookies (using the same HttpURLConnection that I posted with) but I am not getting all of the cookies.
As a test, I set my browser to prompt for cookies and I found that when you submit your login information three cookies are set: JDC, JSessionId, and SessionCredentials. Then two more cookies are set JSessionId again and jiveUserLastVisited -- I think these cookies are actually set while getting the http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jsp page. Anyway the only cookies that I get through my program are JSessionId and jiveUserLastVisited.
So to remedy this I tried setting followRedirects to false on my HttpURLConnection (before I perform my post) and then I tried to get the Set-Cookie header immediately following my post. What I found was after calling getFieldHeader() my connection has changed -- when I do a getConnection on my HttpURLConnection the connection has changed to the second page (http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jsp) even with redirects set to false.
I guess my inexperience with web applications has caught up with me. Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Lisa

 String [] cmd = {"start", pdf,"c:\\sample\\sample.pdf"} ;
 Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd) ;now put that code in a if condition dependent on the type of file extension..

Yes you can run an Applet from an application. The magic bit is providing an AppletContext and AppletStub!
Here's how you start it:
        wpa = new WayPointsApplet(this);
        new AppletWrapper(wpa, 380, 320);Here's the class definition: (includes code for my application that can be ignored.
// Define a wrapper class for the applet
class AppletWrapper extends Frame implements AppletStub, AppletContext {
    Applet applet;
    // Constructor
    AppletWrapper(Applet a, int x, int y) {
          applet = a;
          setTitle(a.getClass().getName());
          setSize(x, y);
          Dimension ss = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
          setLocation((ss.width-x)/2, (ss.height-y)/2);
          add(a, "Center");
          a.setStub(this);
          // Trap window closing
          addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
                // Test if Write left undone before exiting???
                if(WayPoints.wpa != null) {
                  if(!WayPoints.wpa.okToExit())
                     return;           // Ignore
                applet.stop();
                applet.destroy();
                if(WayPoints.debug || WayPointDefs.plot_debug) {
                  SaveStdOutput.stop();
                System.exit(0);         // EXIT Program
          }); // end WindowListener
          a.init();
          show();
          a.start();
   } // end constructor
    // AppletStub methods
    public boolean   isActive() { return true; }
    public URL       getDocumentBase() { return null; }
    public URL       getCodeBase() {
        return WayPoints.currDir;
    public String    getParameter(String name) {
        if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("DEBUG")) {
            if (WayPoints.debug)
                return "YES";
            else
                return "NO";
        if(name.equals("PLOTDEBUG"))
            return (WayPointDefs.plot_debug ? "YES" : "NO");
        if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("SERVER"))
            return "NO";
        return "";
    public AppletContext getAppletContext() { return this; }
    public void      appletResize(int width, int height) {}
    // AppletContext methods
    public AudioClip getAudioClip(URL url) { return null; }
    public Image     getImage(URL url) { return null; }
    public Applet    getApplet(String name) { return null; }
    public Enumeration getApplets() { return null; }
    public void      showDocument(URL url) {}
    public void      showDocument(URL url, String target) {}
