I surely wish i could attend, but i do have a HSSF Serializer question... my intentions are to use the serializer outside of cocoon. in order to test for concept i put the following code within my servlet:
try { xlsOut = new OutputStreamWriter(response.getOutputStream()); sb = new ServletBehavior(applId); String outStream = sb.process(request, response); StringReader sr = new StringReader(outStream); // used when xml is already in memory InputSource is = new InputSource(sr); // put the XML into an Input Source when coming from memory (not a file) String contentType = sb.getContentType(); response.setContentType(contentType); // return string type if (contentType.compareToIgnoreCase("vnd.ms-excel") == 0) { HSSFSerializer hssf = new HSSFSerializer(); hssf.setOutputStream(response.getOutputStream()); XMLReader reader = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser().getXMLReader(); reader.setContentHandler(hssf); reader.parse(is); } i get a NullPointerException during the parse(). i saw in one message that i need to initialize logging before hand. is this true? and if so, how is this accomplished? any examples that you could provide would be more than appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew C.
