RE: Jakarta POI HSSF question...

Brendan,

I think this is the reason why Scott Klement created the service program 
that he did...all the subprocedures that I'm using are part of his service 
program and are wrappers for the HSSF java routines...

RE: Jakarta POI HSSF question...






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
