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.

(forwarding to POI only because I'll briefly cover the HSSF Serializer
[XLS/Excel] and be glad to answer any questions)
