5.37 ExcelReadService
The ExcelReadService provides a means for applications to create and read Microsoft Excel documents. Since Microsoft Excel is so widely used, Excel documents can be a convenient way to exchange data between trading units or partners. An application may also use the service for extracting subsets of data from a corporate database for further analysis or presentation in an Excel workbook.
This service uses the open source Java Excel API classes. Refer to http://jexcelapi.sourceforge.net.
When adding images to a sheet, only the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format is supported.
