Hi guys,

For those who wanted an xls emitter for a long time, finally here may be
a chance to taste:). Thanks the Apache POI project and the new layout
engine of BIRT 2.0, now we can easily create an xls emitter though it
looks obviously not that fancy yet. Anyway, this is a start.:)

Please visit http://qauck.wordpress.com for more details.

thanks

Shawn

You might check out JXLS (http://jxls.sourceforge.net/). It was quite
simple to work with. I can provide an example if there is interest.

Yes, Mark, JXLS is another greate XLS library, but actually it also uses
Apache POI internally. And as I understand, it mainly targets on
transforming to a xls file from bean objects and template files. That
may not quite meet the need of a BIRT emitter which is usually creating
the output from scratch.

thanks

Shawn

Could you access http://qauck.host.sk or http://www.host.sk ? I don't
think this is a permission issue though the site do sometimes not be
very stable. If you still can't access it, please try some free web
proxies:). for example, http://www.phproxy.org/ .

thanks

Absolutely true on all counts. My example is using templates and beans.
Both are fine for my situations - we just create the template to look like
we want and then fill in the values based on beans' behaviors (mostly
getters and setters).

Works really well.

I guess I don't know what kind of XLS output requires no template ahead of
time - even if you create it "from scratch" as you call it, you have to
know what you're trying to do and can thus create a template to use (which
is a lot easier than POI or other frameworks).
