Using HSSF API

Hello everybody !
I want to use POI package (HSSF - interfacing with Excel files) and I cannot compile my Java file ! (I can run the file from netbeans !!!)
Maybe I don't know how should I manage the package installation!

Prakash,
          I have followed your weblog and set the content dispostion.
HttpServletResponse res = request.getServletResponse(true);
               try {
                    res.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
                    res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=report.xls");
                    wb.write(res.getOutputStream());
               } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
When I test this on my pc, I get file download window and I can choose 'open' or'save'. I also have tested this on some of my collegues PCs successfully. But the some of the end users are not getting this window.
when the same is file is downloaded by running an asp page the enire MSExcel application with standard tool bar and menus(file edit etc..) is showing up.
Why is it not poosible to get the same result using HSSF api?

Drawing an image in excel sheet using HSSF API

Hi All,
Can any one please help me.
I am facing an issue with excel sheet while drawing image using HSSF API.
I am doing autofit for all the cells i have added. But the image is stretching along with the expanded cells.
I want the autofit option to work but the image should not stretch. Image should be the same size as is but the cells must expand.
Thanks in advance

Hi Santosh
You can export the report to PDF
Else you can manually copy the logo\image to excel sheet.
Hope it will help.

Saving excel file using HSSF api

I am using HSSF api to download an excel file. But the end users are not able to save the file. Some of them do not get the popup file download window so that they can choose to open or save. Is there a setting in the browser which shows up the window? The users may have different versions of excel on their pcs.

Poi hssf api to generate MS-Excel file

I am using apache's poi hssf api to generate an excel file. Is there any way I can FREEZE PANES of excel sheet.
thanks,

You're wanting to make certain areas of your spreadsheet un-editable, yes? POI currently does not support this, as mentioned in the FAQ: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/faq.html#faq-5 .

Number Formatting in Excel using HSSF POI

Hi,
I am downloading some data into the Excel file using hssf poi and I do my number formatting(either rounded,unrounded or general etc.) in java. The problem is that after the Excel file is created, the values in it behave like text though it shows the format as number. I am not able to plot any graphs or do any mathematical calculations using it. I need to convert it using "=VALUE(data)" before I do so.Is there anyway I can rectify this in the API itself?
Your suggestions will be very helpful.
Thanks.

Unable to display double values in Excel sheet using JExcel API

Hi
I am writing code to generate report in the form of Excel Sheet using JExcel API.
Everything is going fine but whenever I want to put some double values in a cell it is only showing 2 decimal places. My problem is "I want to show upto five decimal places".
Any kind of reply might help me lot.
Thank U.

If you enable the submit zero option, it still happens? This is a new feature on the display tabl
#NumericZero Enhancements
To display a numeric zero in place of an error message, you can enter #NumericZero in any of the three Replacement text fields. When you use the #NumericZero option:
· Excel formatting for the cell is retained.
· All calculations with dependency on the cell will compute correctly and will take the value of this cell as zero.
· This numeric zero is for display only. When you submit, the zero value is NOT submitted back to the data source.
You cannot set display strings for cells that contain an invalid member or dimension name (metadata error). Metadata errors produce standard descriptive error messages.
Errors are prioritized in the following order from highest to lowest. The error message for a higher-priority error takes precedence over that for a lower-priority error.
1. (Highest) Metadata errors
2. #No access
3. #Invalid/Meaningless
4. #No data\Missing

How Do I Use the API to Abbreviate?

How do I use the ACE API to limit the output field length and properly abbreviate the output field?
Using the pwace command-line application, I get abbreviated output that looks like this for a 30 byte field:
nnnnn GEORGE WASHNGTN MMRL HWY
However, when using the API, I end up with a truncated field:
nnnnn GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORI
This is from the PRIM_ADDR field.
How do I use the API to get the same field value as the command-line application?
Thanks,
Rob

Rob,
The jobfile product has intelligent truncation built into the product. However, with the API this would be up for the user to code around.
Thanks,
Brandon

Problem Sending mails in a loop using JavaMail API

Hello All,
I am sending emails in a loop(one after the other) using JavaMail API,but the problem is, if the first two,three email addresses in the loop are Valid it sends the Email Properly, but if the Fourth or so is Invalid Address it throws an Exception....
"javax.mail.SendFailedException: Sending failed;"
nested exception is:
javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses;
nested exception is:
javax.mail.SendFailedException: 450 <[email protected]>:Recipient address rejected: Domain not found......
So if i want to send hundereds of emails and if one of the Emails inbetween is Invalid the process Stops at that point and i could not send the other emails in the Loop......
How Could i Trap the exception thrown and handle it in such a way, so that the loops continues ..
Is there something with the SMTP Server....?
The code which i am using is as follows....
<Code>...
try {
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
Session session = (Session) ic.lookup(JNDINames.MAIL_SESSION);
if (Debug.debuggingOn)
session.setDebug(true);
// construct the message
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(eMess.getEmailSender()));
String to = "";
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(to, false));
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.BCC,
InternetAddress.parse(eMess.getEmailReceiver(), false));
msg.setSubject(eMess.getSubject());
msg.setContent(eMess.getHtmlContents(),"text/plain");
msg.saveChanges();
Transport.send(msg);
} catch (Exception e) {
Debug.print("createAndSendMail exception : " + e);
throw new MailerAppException("Failure while sending mail");
</Code>....
Please give me any suggestions regarding it....and guide me accordingly..
Thanks a million in advance...

Sam

How about something like the code attached here. Be aware it is lifted and edited out of an app we have here so it may require changing to get it to work. If it don't work - don't come asking for help as this is only a rough example of one way of doing it. RTFM - that's how we worked it out!
SH
try {
Transport.send(msg);
// If we get to here then the mail went OK so update all the records in the email as sent
System.out.println("Email sent OK");
catch (MessagingException mex) {
System.out.println("Message error");
Exception ex = mex;
do {
if (ex instanceof SendFailedException) {
if (ex.getMessage().startsWith("Sending failed")) {
// Ignore this message as we want to know the real reason for failure
// If we get an Invalid Address error or a Message partially delivered message process the message
if (ex.getMessage().startsWith("Message partially delivered")
|| ex.getMessage().startsWith("Invalid Addresses")) {
// This message is of interest as we need to process the actual individual addresses
System.out.println(ex.getMessage().substring(0, ex.getMessage().indexOf(";")));
// Now get the addresses from the SendFailedException
SendFailedException sfex = (SendFailedException) ex;
Address[] invalid = sfex.getInvalidAddresses();
if (invalid != null) {
System.out.println("Invalid Addresse(s) found -");
if (invalid.length > 0) {
for (int x = 0; x < invalid.length; x++) {
System.out.println(invalid[x].toString().trim());
Address[] validUnsent = sfex.getValidUnsentAddresses();
if (validUnsent != null) {
System.out.println("Valid Unsent Addresses found -");
if (validUnsent.length > 0) {
for (int x = 0; x < validUnsent.length; x++) {
System.out.println(validUnsent[x].toString().trim());
Address[] validSent = sfex.getValidSentAddresses();
if (validSent != null) {
System.out.println("Valid Sent Addresses found -");
if (validSent.length > 0) {
for (int x = 0; x < validSent.length; x++) {
System.out.println(validSent[x].toString().trim());
if (ex instanceof MessagingException)
ex = ((MessagingException) ex).getNextException();
else {
// This is a general catch all and we should assume that no messages went and should stop
System.out.println(ex.toString());
throw ex;
} while (ex != null);

Get all the field's value of addressbook entry using c++ api

How can i get all the field values of address book entry in groupwise using c++ api.

You should be able to do that via the Token API. There is an AddressBookGetEntry method. You could createsome sort of AddressbookEntry class that fetches (via iteration over the defined ABFields) all the innformation.

Can I use external APIs to authenticate users?

I have been asked to develop a lightswitch application either as desktop client or HTML client. Now I am confused about the authentication
mechanism in LightSwitch, and it leads a question: Can I authenticate my users from an external website or application?
For the HTML client, I have been thinking that whether I could use external APIs like Facebook Login API to authenticate my users? If I could, the code should be JavaScript, then where should I put it, and how can I configure my LS application?
For the desktop client, same question, if I could identify my users by pulling some user information from an external website, what kind of code/Programming Language shall I use?

Hey ConnorTx!
This is not supported out of the box.
For in-browser desktop applications, you can hack around this by setting up the social media credentials, then redirecting to your desktop application while passing the self-encrypted credentials. I explained this workaround in
this article.
I don't have enough production experience with HTML apps yet. However when you use Forms authentication, I suspect you can simply fill in the IPrincipal on the HttpContext.Current, then redirect to your HTML app, and the LightSwitch Forms Auth mechanism
would pick up your principal as valid credentials. I wish I had time to show you some code for this, would make a great blog post :/
Keep rocking LS!

Please help us to find the linking problem.
 
We have to add PRE-FORM trigger to many FMBies. We have thousants of FMBies. So opening one by one is difficult. For this we are using OPEN API and BORLAND C++. We have coppied all header files from D:\orant\FORMS60\API.

The .sca-file can be found on the sap service marketplace, afterwards you need to import the .sca-file, add the SC to your "MyComponents" and then you can select your necessary DC's.

Need help in using a API

I am new to flash . And my doubt may seem very trivial. I hae
a problem using the Flash administation API "getLiveStreams()" . I
am supposed to get the list of all live streams. However in the
client when i do
nc.call("getLivestreams",responder); i don't get any return
value . Do i need to set any variables before calling this ? or how
should i parse the output after calling the function. Any inputs
would be highly appreciated
