RE: Jakarta POI HSSF question...

[Brendan Farragher <Brendan_Farragher@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Shane,

I have used the poi before. Let me try to make a suggestion by
comparing/contrasting the contexts of what you and I are doing...

- I am creating a spreadsheet using the poi within a java agent running on a
domino server
- I created a wrapper class to simplify the interface to the poi classes

Would you consider creating a wrapper class to simplify the interface to the
poi (like using the facade pattern)? The reason I suggest this is threefold:

- You may not need all of the functionality (methods) of the poi classes
that you are using
- You may be able to consolidate two or more of the poi method calls into
ONE of your method calls
- You will have an easier time interfacing your RPG program with a
simplified interface that your wrapper class offers
