Drop down list in excel

[Natu, Ashlesha [IT]]

Hello,
 
I am using Jakarta POI to write to an excel spreadsheet. I need to have a drop 
down list box in a column in the excel sheet (like, Data - validation , allow 
List, if it was to be done manually) . 
 
Is it possible to do this with POI?
 
thanks & regards,
