There are different approaches possible.
It depends on whether you need to have graphics, and need to start with a
template.
It's simpler if you don't need that capability.
When you create a sheet, you can give it a name:
createSheet(java.lang.String sheetname)
When you create it, you have the object reference, so you can do anything
you want with it.
But, if you lose the reference, you can get it via
getSheet(java.lang.String name)
You can also get the 0-based index of any sheet by:
getSheetIndex(java.lang.String name)
and, when you know the index, you can get the name
getSheetName(int sheet)
to get the actual HSSFSheet, you can get it by either index or by name:
HSSFSheet getSheet(java.lang.String name)
Get sheet with the given name
HSSFSheet getSheetAt(int index)
Get the HSSFSheet object at the given index.
I assume you have the JAVADOC API on your PC, which is indexed at:
\build\docs\javadocs\index.html
after you install the release.
