--- Comment #1 from Yegor Kozlov <[email protected]> 2009-11-28 07:23:08 UTC --- Vladimir, you are very much welcome to contribute! Shared workbooks are not yet supported. XSSF treats shared workbooks just like any others - it ignores changes made by other users, does not write changes, etc. I'm pretty much sure it is technically feasible to implement. Can you post a use case? It would help us to better understand what functionality is required and design the API appropriately. What did you expect to happen 'automatically' when you were working with a shared XSSF workbook? At least three use-cases come to my mind: - turn on the "shared mode" on a .xlsx file. This will allow multiple external users to edit the workbook at the same time. By 'external' I mean Excel 2007 clients. - programmatically work with the Revision Table - read changes made by other users and update the workbook with those changes. A potentially tricky part is resolving conflicts. - track changes made by XSSF and update the Revision History part so that other users will see / merge them. The first one seems trivial, it should be a flag somewhere in workbook.xml. The other two can take efforts. Please see http://poi.apache.org/guidelines.html for initial guidelines how to contribute.
