internal server error means so many things, so it's hard to help you with that information alone.

when you say crashed, does the application server go down?

i don't think using a static work is a good idea, I forgot the actual explanations but it was discussed in the lists in the past. Have you tested this approach with multiple concurrent users?

i am calling a static method that first creates a new HSSFWorkbook
and then adds 12 sheets, and sets the orientation, and does a couple
of more things. It's like a template; no data is added. Report creation
would follow.

It works fine on my PC with weblogic, and it works on a unix machine.
That is, my completed Excel report pops up in a browser or in Excel
depending on which PC I use.

The problem is that when deployed on our second unix server, it
crashed with 500 internal server error, at the point where the
POI api is being used to create a new workbook.

We checked that the permissions on the directory where the poi jar
file is. They were not the same, so we made them both 777.

"Something" must be different, but I don't have a clue as to where to
look.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm using poi 2.5 final of 3/2/2004.

THANKS,
Steve
