Answer 1

The JExcel FAQ has a couple of suggestions including Curtis' idea above.

If you don't mind the performance hit, you could use a temporary file instead of doing it all in memory.

WorkbookSettings s = new WorkbookSettings();  
s.setUseTemporaryFileDuringWrite(true);  
WritableWorkbook ws = Workbook.createWorkbook(new File("someFile.xls"),s);
