RE: Arabic / Other languages POI Excel Writing
Our community has already tested it :) http://robertdudley.wordpress.com/2010/05/07/upgrade-java-poi-for-better-excel-support-in-coldfusion-8/ Guess it's going to be safe, will report if I face any issues.

RE: Arabic / Other languages POI Excel Writing
Leigh, It worked!!! Thanks :D I used the same source with CF 8 and 9 and it works properly in CF 9. Looking into the bin folder, I find few poi*.jar, Guess updating few with the new versions will solve the issue. Please let me know if you have any inputs Thx rgds, Pradeep Viswanathan R -Original Message- From: IT (Pradeep Viswanathan) Sent: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 1:19 AM To: cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Subject: RE: Arabic / Other languages POI Excel Writing I would not say it is the CFC, rather I would say it's POI or I should Unicode the data before sending it to POI.

The first thing to check is whether your data is stored properly as unicode. If you output the characters on screen, do they display properly? I have never used cfHSSF, but all three (cfHSSF, POUtitlity and cfspreadsheet) use POI internally. So the behavior should be similar. I imagine the biggest differences would be the version you are using. CF7 includes a much older version of POI than CF9 (2.x vs 3.x). ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:350162 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Arabic / Other languages POI Excel Writing
Are you using POI directly or through some kind of wrapper (ie cfspreadsheet, poiUtility.cfc, etcetera..)? Can you post your code? Leigh, Thanks for the response. I am using cfHSSF from http://www.1smartsolution.com/?action=downloads and i am using the function easyQuery2Excel(). In others words, not written any code for this. Which one do you recommend please ? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:350104 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Arabic / Other languages POI Excel Writing

(FC 'D%E'1'* /(J 'DH7FJ H#1:( 'D'3*A3'1 9F 'D(7'BG 'D0G(JG HE' GJ EEJ2'*G' Google tells me that Arabic is supported by POI and I need to convert the data into Unicode.
