Hi,
I'm inserting a hyperlink with a non standard protocol into a XSSF
Worksheet like so
Hyperlink link =
createHelper.createHyperlink(Hyperlink.LINK_URL);
link.setAddress("my-proto://" +
someURL);
cell.setHyperlink(link);
This is working fine with HSSF but with XSSF it ignores the fact that
this is a URL and not a File link, and generates a
file://localhost/my-proto//... link.
Quickly browsing the source it seems to be related to XSSFHyperlink.java:
// Try to figure out the type
if (_location.startsWith("http://";) ||
_location.startsWith("https://";)
|| _location.startsWith("ftp://";)) {
_type = Hyperlink.LINK_URL;
} else if (_location.startsWith("mailto:";)) {
_type = Hyperlink.LINK_EMAIL;
} else {
_type = Hyperlink.LINK_FILE;
}
That doesn't look right. It ought to use LINK_FILE only for "file"
URLs, LINK_EMAIL for "mailto" and LINK_URL for the rest.
Does anybody know of any workarounds in the mean time ? Any chance one
of the developers could address this ?
Thanks much in advance,
- Filip
