http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39942 Summary: Suggestion...add HSSF object factory Product: POI Version: 2.5 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P4 Component: HSSF AssignedTo: poi-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Create a POI object factory that would, at a minimum, create cell style and font objects based on a configuration file (xml or ini). This would serve three purposes: 1) it would act like an html style sheet and allow you to centralize look and feel, 2) would allow for external customization of HSSF objects without a recompile, and 3) would remove 5 to 10 lines of code per object. The configuration file could be divided into namespaces (ala log4j), allowing for the configuration to be hierarchical (meaning shared objects would only have to be defined once). For example: IHSSFObjectFactory factory = HSSFObjectFactory.createFactory("namespace"); HSSFFont headerFont = factory.createFont("header-font"); I have some sample code, but I'm not sure how I proceed from here. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mailing List: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html#poi The Apache Jakarta POI Project: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/
