Subject: Re: Create .xls from XML
Thats an interesting use case. Cocoon may be quite large for your needs.
Its going to be awhile before POI is ready (though I'm not admitting to any
plans at the moment) to tackle an XML API outside of Cocoon. The simple
thing is doing this ports is very labor intensive and supporting an XML API
would take away from that mission. You should be able to adapt the
serializer APIs in Cocoon to work outside of Cocoon as they do support
standard interfaces. (content handler and the such).
read this thread to hear me declare that such a use case does not exist:

Sylvain, if you're listening... have fun..
(this is the first one)
Regardless, we don't have the resources at the moment to tackle a full
fledged XML project w/in POI itself. I'll reconsider this later. (after
POI 2.0 is released)
