what's the maximum excel file size supported?

2002-06-22 Thread Ravi S Kodamarti

Hi,
I'm using UserModel package of HSSF to access an excel file. I would
like to know the maximum size this package supports, since if I'm giving
files greater than 2 mb, then I'm getting the error
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. Any sugestion or info in this regard would be
helpful.


Thanks in advance.
Ravi

Re: OutOfMemoryError while reading excel file

2002-06-22 Thread Andrew C. Oliver

No, you must start the jvm with -Xmx{size}m

Generally distribute your application with a run.bat and run.sh file.

Other successful programs that do this:

1. Tomcat
2. JBuilder
3. Netbeans

 Hi,
   I'm getting OutOfMemoryError while reading an excel file. In one of
 the previous postings (for writing into an excel file), I saw that, if we
 increase the JVM heap size, then the OutOfMemory error problem would be
 solved. But, I have a concern here.. If we run the application in
 client-server environment, then what would be the turn around for the
 problem? Is there any way to increase the heap size programmatically?
 
 
 Thanks in advance.
 Ravi.

WARNING JAVA GUI (yuck!) -- Announcing SuckyViewer 0.10 for XLSfiles

2002-06-22 Thread Andrew C. Oliver

Hi All,

Don't ask my why I did this...  but maybe it has to do with the
umpteenth private email asking me if HSSF has a gui app to show XLS
files.

I wrote this in the course of about an hour.  Its in contrib, it reads 
XLS files from streams and/or files, it can run as an applet.

It proves I'm the worlds greatest Java Gui programmer ;-)..

Its called SUCKY VIEWER 0.10.  And it is true to its name, but it works.

Features:

1. Runs as an applet
2. Reads and renders XLS files using the HSSF usermodel
3. Can take a filename or url applet parameter and will read it from
the local or remote system
4. Renders all major data types, Strings, Numbers, etc.
5. sets cell background color if its set with pattern type
SOLID_FOREGROUND (1)
6. sets the font if java.awt.Font knows what to do.

Contribution opportunities (for YOU not ME):
1. No borders
2. No alternative Patterns for fill types
3. Doesn't mess with HSSFCellFormat (meaning numbers are nasty looking)
4. Renders so slow my grandma could outrun it.  (hint: the getRow,
getCell methods are NOT fast)
5. Using a URL instead of a filename when its run as an application and
not an applet doesn't seem to work (oops, sorry)
6. Did I mention I put very little effort into this?

So if someone improves this to not Suck, I'll rename it ;-) and perhaps
move it to www.krysalis.org

Happy Hacking.

2002-06-22 Thread Andrew C. Oliver

oh its in the head under

jakarta-poi/src/contrib/src/org/apache/poi/hssf/contrib/view

you can build it by running

./build.sh
contrib
suckyviewer
/home/andy/myxls.xls

If you jar it up and make it in an applet be sure you set the 
filename OR the url property.
