The HSSF eventmodel package is a new API for reading XLS files more efficiently. It does
|
|
|
|
|
require more knowledge on the part of the user, but reduces memory consumption by more than
|
|
|
|
|
tenfold. It is based on the AWT event model in combination with SAX. If you need read-only
|
|
|
|
|
access to a given XLS file, this is the best way to do it.

Star Office 5.1 writes some records using the older BIFF standard. This causes some problems
|
|
|
|
|
with POI which supports only BIFF8.
