POI Help
Hi,
I know that this isn't the ideal place to ask for help for the Apache POI library, but I don't know where exactly to go for help. Can anyone point me to a source or forum that I can look at?
Here's the long version of the story: I am trying to create a .xls file from a .xlt file. I have two templates, and I wrote sample code that basically creates a HSSFWorkbook from the template (in the form of a FileInputStream) and plugs in the String "TEST" into cell D1. It works fine for one template but not the other; I get a NullPointerException when I try to get the first cell of row D. Oddly, I get past that point occasionally but the opening the output file results in a "Unable to read file" error in Excel. I don't quite know where to start looking for help, so I hope someone can kindly point me in the right direction. Any help or advice with regards to debugging this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I made a mistake when I described the results. For some reason, I encountered a NullPointerException when I executed sheets.getRow(3). I inspected the properties of the object and discovered that the rows object (a Treemap) in sheets is of size 751, even though sheets.getFirstRowNum is 0 and sheets.getLastRowNum is 758!
When I changed to sheets.getRow(23), it got past the line but rows.getFirstCellNum resulted in 1, so executing cell.setCellValue("TEST") resulted in a NullPointerException. When I assigned row.getCell((short)0) to the cell object instead of row.getCell((short)1), the method terminated with error, but opening "result.xls" generated a "unable to read file" error.
At first, I suspected that the template was not read in properly, but then I located cell B10 (which says "Symbol" in the template) in my method by setting row to sheets.getRow(9) and setting cell to row.getCell((short)1), and right before cell.setCellValue("TEST"), I printed cell.getStringCellValue, which printed "Symbol". I concluded that the template seems to be read in properly.
Here is the modified code:
public void generateFile() {
FileInputStream f = new FileInputStream("template.xlt");
HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(f, true);
HSSFSheet sheet = wb.getSheetAt(0);
System.out.println(sheet.getFirstRowNum()); // returns 0
System.out.println(sheet.getLastRowNum()); // returns 757
HSSFRow row = sheet.getRow(9);
System.out.println(row.getFirstCellNum()); // returns 1
System.out.println(row.getLastCellNum()); // returns 11
HSSFCell cell = row.getCell((short)1);
System.out.println("Before edit: " + cell.getStringCellValue()); //prints "Symbol"
cell.setCellValue("TEST");
System.out.println("After edit: " + cell.getStringCellValue()); //prints "TEST"
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("result.xls");
wb.write(out);
out.close();
} // generateFile
I guess my question at this point is, why are the container objects not correctly reflecting the objects stored? (i.e. How come the last row of sheets is 757 but the size of its row Treemap is only 751?) And why can't I access the first column of the spreadsheet?

Need some help with POI pls...
Hi,
I'm currently using POI to generate MS Excel documents from
CF.
I believe it's a great tool because it gave me the
possibility to export the data on different worksheets, etc.
Before using POI, I was just using only CF (see PART 1 in
attached code).
The advantage was that I could display all 3 tables in 1 page
and control their display using plain html.
The disadvantage was that, when the request was to display
each product details on 1 separate worksheet, I was stuck!
And this is where using POI becomes interesting!
However, I've noticed that you can only export 1 query to the
POI, and my question is:
Is there a way to pass more than 1 query to the POI, so that
it displays in the same way as it would using CF (3 different
blocks or tables)?
This is because, even though I have to separate each product
on a separate worksheet, I still need to have the same display i.e.
1 table for the Overall, then a blank column (separator), 1 table
for the "Entries", then a blank column as separator again, and then
1 table for the "Exits". (Forget about the names Overall, Entries
and Exits, this is just an example. I only need to display 3
sections of data on the same sheet).
Now, since I don't know if this is possible or not, I have
tried to work around the problem differently.
What I've done is to create 1 query (see PART 2 in attached
code).
Now, here I've got a big problem, especially if I'm querying
data since inception.
I'm using a MySQL 5.1 database properly partitioned on dates
(yearly) and then properly indexed.
I'm currently using SQLYog Enterprise v5.21 as GUI tool for
my database.
Here are my observations:
1. Querying the data in SQLYog itself takes miliseconds
(around 47ms).
2. Querying the data via a cfquery takes seconds (around 6-7
seconds).
3. Looping through more than 50,000 records to create the
myQry takes around 4-5 mins. If I test it on my PC, I even have to
restart jrun!
Is there any better way to do the following?
1. Populate the myQry.
2. Display the data in 3 "blocks" on each sheet using POI.
Your help will be greatly appreciated :-)
Thanks and regards,
Yogesh MahadnacHi -==cfSearching==-
Many thanks for your reply.
At least I've got one now!
Indeed, I would be very much grateful if you could please
provide me with an example, if possible, via email to

Help needed in using POI for manipulating Word files
Hi ,
I am new to POI. I have to take multiple files as input and write them to an output word file using POI.The input files may be word files, jpg or or any other image files and excel sheets also.
Is this possible using POI?Is there any example source code available?
I had another concern .I have downloaded the poi-bin-2.5.1-final-20040804 jar.
This does not contain any api for hwpf.Where can i find hwpf api?HWPF is not included in the standard jar that you will download from the Apache Organisations site. Instead, you need to visit what they tern the scratchpad area - from where the developers grab source to work on - and download HWPF from there. You will have to compile it yourself as well I believe. There is some good news however, I cannot remember the address of the site but I did find a web page with links to pre-built jar's of this area, just have a search with google.
From my own experiences, I would also reccommend that you look to using JExcel to manipulate Excel worksheets. It does not have the same sort of support for evaluating formulae as HSSF does but it does other things better IMO; little things like exposing the formatting applied to the cell. -

Need help in POI plugin in java
Hi,
I am doing a monthly status report using POI plug-in.
Now i am having problem: for example to SUM the cells to one cell:
Example : A1=SUM(A2+A3) ( its working fine)
but if i do SUM for more cells using " : " this caracter its not working :(
=SUM(A1:A10)
How to slove the problem ?
Hope to hear from you soon :)
Cheers,
Sundar RajagopalSeveral solutions:
1) Use A1+A2+A3+...+A10 instead.
2) Rise a bug/feature report at their website/issuetracker and hope that they get it fixed in next release.
3) Try another Excel API's, such as JExcelAPI at Sourceforge.net. -

How it is possible to solve this problem?search index has to be pre-built. The steps to do the same are included (or so I remember) alongwith the documentation.
