[TriLUG] At the next JUG meeting (Monday) ... Writing Excel from you Linux webserver (or non-webserver)

[Andrew C. Oliver]

Hi All,

http://www.trijug.org/ - At the next JUG meeting you can:

1. Try a hawaiian substance called POI.  . .  (or just eat pizza)
2. Heckle me
3. Learn how to use the Apache POI project 
http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/ to write to Excel from Java
4. Learn how to use the Apache Cocoon project 
http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/ to write to Excel from XML

All of this is written in Java (so if you're an anti-java bigot...sorry 
maybe its not for you) --  and all of it runs nicely
on Linux* and employs no "native code".

-Andy

* POI has been tested on Redhat Linux 7.1-7.2 as well as some version of 
Mandrake as well as what I'd just bet is SUSE linux
   your experiences may vary, be completely in your head or be flat out 
lies that you put on your resume or told over a beer ;-)
