I have followed the examples on the site (very helpful, thanks).  I have a 
problem though because a project requires a very large output (hundreds of 
pages).  I am using a servlet on Apache 5.  I am able to create the table 
object and loop through the creation of all the rows.  But, when I add the 
table to the doc (or write the rows) it takes a very long time (after 20 
minutes or more I give up and kill the server).

Is there a more efficient way to write very large tables?  Or is it possible to 
stream the document so that a few pages are visible right away and the rest of 
the document loads after?  I implemented the example for giving a user a 
progress bar, but that is not very helpful if it takes an hour to generate the 
doc (because users don't like to wait for an hour).

Thanks.
