and don't understand the full implications of trying to implement this. If you wish to have a go

at this feel free to add it as a plugin module. We wont be hosting it here however.

Excel stores dates as numbers therefore the only way to determine if a cell is
|
||||
actually stored as a date is to look at the formatting. This solution from

Jason Hoffman:
|

<p>
|
||||
Okay, here is a little code I used to determine if the cell was a number or
|
||||
date, and then format appropriately. I hope it helps. I keep meaning to
|
||||
submit a patch with the helper method below.... but just haven't had a
|
||||
chance.

||||
</p>
|
||||
actually stored as a date is to look at the formatting. There is a helper method
|
||||
in HSSFDateUtil (since after 1.6.0-dev) that checks for this.
|
||||
Thanks to Jason Hoffman for providing the solution.

I'm trying to stream an XLS file from a servlet and I'm having some trouble. What's the problem?

The problem in most versions of IE is that it does not use the mime type on
|
||||
the HTTP response to determine the file type; rather it uses the file extension
|
||||
on the request. Thus you might want to add a <strong>.xls</strong> to your request
|
||||
string. For example http://yourserver.com/myServelet.xls?param1=xx. Sometimes
|
||||
a request like http://yourserver.com/myServelet?param1=xx&dummy=file.xls is also
|
||||
string. For example <em>http://yourserver.com/myServelet.xls?param1=xx</em>. This is
|
||||
easily accomplished through URL mapping in any servlet container. Sometimes
|
||||
a request like <em>http://yourserver.com/myServelet?param1=xx&dummy=file.xls</em> is also
|

known to work.
