Generating excel documents programmatically

Question

Has anyone used a Java based library for generating excel documents? Preferably support for 2003?

Answer 1

You can generate an excel file with a VBS and then cal the script from java like this:

String script = "your_VBS_Name.vbs"
String cmd = "D:\\YourPath" + script;
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);

to create the script is really simple

open notepad and follow the next example:

Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcel.Visible = True

Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Add()
objWorkbook.SaveAs("D:\yourExcel.xls")

objExcel.Quit

and then save it as your_VBS_Name.vbs

Thats it!
