Re: Does HSSF support pictures in a Excel file?

Hi Michael,
Refetch the latest from CVS, a kind individual already contributed a fix 
to this issue.

HSSF should not mangle your pictures in a template file, please submit

There are a bunch of alternatives on the site somewhere.

Hi Karl,
Thanks for your response.
I'm using poi-2.5-final-20040302.jar, it's the latest version.
It's very easy to test, here is my code:
  try {
    fin = new FileInputStream("book2.xls");
    // Use POI to read the selected Excel Spreadsheet
    HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook(fin);
    // Write to a new file
    fout = new FileOutputStream("output.xls");
    workbook.write(fout);
    fin.close();
    fout.close();
  }
  catch (Exception e) {
    throw new RuntimeException(e);
  }
The Excel template file is attached, it just contains a picture (some 
Chinese words).
When I open the output.xls  with Excel,Excel told me this file is 
corrupted and need to be fixed, the picture just didn't show.

If  POI does not support picture in Excel file, I must find another 
reporting tool, so I would like to know some decent Java reporting  
tool (commercial or free). Thank you!

Hi Michael.
I never used it myself. But according to the questions for this topic it
should work. Possibly it's an error or you use an elder version.

Hi,
I tried to open a Excel file that has a picture in it, then write to
a new file, but the new file is totally blank (nothing in this file).
Does HSSF support pictures in a Excel file?
or is there any plan to support it?
Thanks!
