MS Excel ====>> iSeries.

Hello Pro's;

I have a little situation which I want to run by the pro's to see if anybody
did something like this before. I have lots of users who use MS Excel. I
want to give them some ability to upload the data from their spreadsheets on
to a physical file on the iSeries. This is the approach I have in place
currently...I have a combination of servlets/jsp page's where they can
upload the spreadsheet to the server and then they can call another jsp page
which will parse through the excel spreadsheet they just uploaded and push
the data into the physical file on the iSeries. I am running Tomcat on a
windows NT box and that box talks to the iSeries. Needless to say this is
taking a lot of time considering the fact I have about 25 users who want to
use this process. Now, there might be a very simple readymade tool out there
for this kind of purpose but I wanted to explore the 'home grown' solution
first...Any suggestions or input in this matter would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

cheers,

Jake.
