Gernating an Excel SpreadSheet..

I am unable to set the date format to a Cell in Excel 
to dd.mmm.yyyy. Are custom date formats supported in
Apache POI? The foll. piece of code seems to work only
when the input DATE_FORMAT is one of the built-in
formats mentioned in the docs, else it is displayed as
a numeric value.

HSSFCell cell = getCell(workSheet, row, col);
cell.setCellValue((Date) value);
HSSFCellStyle cellStyle = workBook.createCellStyle(); 
      
cellStyle.setDataFormat(HSSFDataFormat.getBuiltinFormat(DATE_FORMAT));
               
cell.setCellStyle(cellStyle);

Can Someone tell me or guide me in the right
direction?


thanks,
Vishwa
