Export Excel - max row num

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Export excel with Apache poi
2. Rows number exceed  max number Excel 2003

When I try to export an excel file that exceeds the limit of Excel 2003 I get 
an error of maximum number of lines exceeded.
I know that Excel 2007 allows you to export a greater number of rows in Excel 
2003, but to ensure compatibility with the 2007 I use XSSF.
I wanted to know if you can tell Jmesa using these Interfaces.

thanks

I am not familiar with XSSF. You should take a look at the ExcelView and 
JExcelView and find out if there is anything that we could change to get past 
the maximum number of lines. 

If you had to you could limit the number of lines that are exported or create 
another excel view that put data in multiple worksheets.

Hi Mr Johnston,

I checked the implementation of the class ExcelView, and I changed the render
method to use XSSF, but the problem now is that when the export is call,
the jmesa implementation invoke  the method exports  of the class
ExcelViewExporter that, explicitly, use the class HSSFWorkbook, when it
should use the interface Workbook.

How can I solve the problem by calling my custom exports method  ?

Not at the moment. Its unfortunate as it is pretty much the only thing in JMesa 
that is not easily exposed. But it is still possible...here is a link to a 
thread that is a similar flavor of this problem.

http://groups.google.com/group/jmesa_forum/browse_thread/thread/860aa8cf8049e5ac

In a nutshell you could change the code to use the interface, or get a patch 
into JMesa to make the feature plugable, or follow the thread (above) and do 
that.

If you wanted I could recompile the code with the interface change and I could 
send you a custom jar file too...just send me an email at 
jeff.johnston.mn@gmail.com.

As that thread talks about at the beginning of next year I am going to get some 
time to improve this too.
