I thought that there was a way to save a workbook in place when using a File 
type input. But I can't find the secret sauce. If I open a Workbook using 
WorkbookFactory(new File(filename)); I cannot write to an output stream based 
on the same file name. If I write the modified workbook to an output stream 
based on a different file name, the original file is updated, but now I have a 
second file. If I do not write the changes, but instead just close the 
workbook, it does not create the second file, but it also does not update the 
existing file.

So how can I update an existing spreadsheet without creating a secondary file? 
I am guessing that if I use an InputStream to open the initial file, I can 
write the updated workbook to an OutputStream without the original being 
updated?
