Hello List I have a simple feature in my web-application which exports the data from an Oracle Database to an Excel file. I implemented this by: 1. Form the tab separated string and put this in a StringBuffer 2. Set the StringBuffer as a Request attribute 3. In the JSP page, set the content type to application/vnd.ms-excel and write the content using out.println()
The problem is that there is 1 number column/field. When the data has leading zeros, the Excel drops the leading zeros. Does the Jakarta POI api solve this problem? The constraint I have is that I must not create files on the server. I have gone through a few examples and found that all are using FileOutputStream, which creates a file. Is there a way I can use the POI api in my application without creating a physical file?
