<section><title>Things that have to be changed when upgrading to POI 3.5</title>
<p>Wherever possible, we have tried to ensure that you can use your
existing POI code with POI 3.5 without requiring any changes. However,
Java doesn't always make that easy, and unfortunately there are a
few changes that may be required for some users.</p>
<section><title>org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFFormulaEvaluator.CellValue</title>
<p>Annoyingly, java will not let you access a static inner class via
a child of the parent one. So, all references to
<em>org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFFormulaEvaluator.CellValue</em>
will need to be changed to
<em>org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.FormulaEvaluator.CellValue</em>
</p>
</section>
<section><title>org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFRow.MissingCellPolicy</title>
<p>Annoyingly, java will not let you access a static inner class via
a child of the parent one. So, all references to
<em>org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFRow.MissingCellPolicy</em>
will need to be changed to
<em>org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Row.MissingCellPolicy</em>
</p>
</section>
</section>
<section><title>Converting existing HSSF Usermodel code to SS Usermodel (for XSSF and HSSF)</title>
<section><title>Why change?</title>
<p>If you have existing HSSF usermodel code that works just
fine, and you don't want to use the new OOXML XSSF support,
then you probably don't need to. Your existing HSSF only code
will continue to work just fine.</p>
<p>However, if you want to be able to work with both HSSF for
your .xls files, and also XSSF for .xslx files, then you will
need to make some slight tweaks to your code.</p>
</section>
<section><title>org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel</title>
<p>The new SS usermodel (org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel) is very
heavily based on the old HSSF usermodel
(org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel). The main difference is that
the package name and class names have been tweaked to remove
HSSF from them. Otherwise, the new SS Usermodel interfaces
should provide the same functionality.</p>
</section>
<section><title>Constructors</title>
<p>Calling the empty HSSFWorkbook remains as the way to
create a new, empty Workbook object. To open an existing
Worbook, you should now call WorkbookFactory.create(inp).</p>
<p>For all other cases when you would have called a
Usermodel constructor, such as 'new HSSFRichTextString()' or
'new HSSFDataFormat', you should instead use a CreationHelper.
There's a method on the Workbook to get a CreationHelper, and
the CreationHelper will then handle constructing new objects
for you.</p>
</section>
<section><title>Other Code</title>
<p>For all other code, generally change a reference from
org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFFoo to a reference to
org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Foo. Method signatures should
otherwise remain the same, and it should all then work for
both XSSF and HSSF.</p>
