When I go to download the jars at Jakarta POI site at the following URL: - http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/jakarta/poi/ I am not able to find poi-bin-3.0-alpha3-20061212 version. The version I get is is poi-bin-2.5.1-final-20040804.zip In the sample code I tried to run the code to export the data to the spreadsheet. The code is at the the following URL: - http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/how-to.html in the heading 'User API' sub heading - 'Writing a new one' It didn't through any error but also didn't create or open the new spreadsheet. Could you please throw some light about how should one proceed to use HSSF to export data to excel spreadsheet? Vishal

Its advisable to use the latest release poi-bin-3.0-alpha3-20061212. 2. There is nothing special about poi jars. Just use it as you use any java library i-e include it in your classpath(or out it in your WEB-INF/lib) and reference the classes via import statement or fully qualified class names in your code. What error are you getting when trying to run the sample code? Wassalam Tahir -----Original Message----- From: Rohilla, Vishal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2007 2:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: How to use POI (Newbie) I downloaded the POI code from the mirror: - http://mirror.candidhosting.com/pub/apache/jakarta/poi/release/ In the downloaded code I found the following jars: - 1) poi-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar 2) poi-contrib-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar 3) poi-scratchpad-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar Does anybody have any ideas about how to plugin poi jars and to start using it for sample examples at least. I have gone throgh the documentation couldn't find instructions abt it. Your help will be highly appreciated. P.S - I added poi-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar in my WAR file and run one of the sample code in "How To" Section to export the data to spreadsheet. But no luck.
