Using the Cocoon HSSFSerializer without Cocoon

[Danny Mui <da...@muibros.com>]

Here's my test class to serialize a gnumeric-based xml file to Excel 
using the HSSFSerializer

I'm using Jdom because it's simpler (imo) to manipulate xml but since it 
implements the standard interfaces you can use any valid xml document.

    private static org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.Logger 
avalonLogger = new 
org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.ConsoleLogger(org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.ConsoleLogger.LEVEL_INFO);
   

    /** Creates a new instance of poi */
    public poi()
    {
    }
   
    public static void main(String[] args){
       
        java.io.File infile = new 
java.io.File("e:\\development\\poi-test\\plsr.xml");
        java.io.File outfile = new

            outfile.createNewFile();
            java.io.OutputStream fos = new

org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder();
            org.jdom.Document doc = builder.build(infile);
           
            org.apache.cocoon.serialization.HSSFSerializer hssf = new 
org.apache.cocoon.serialization.HSSFSerializer();
            hssf.enableLogging(avalonLogger);
            hssf.initialize();                       
            hssf.setOutputStream(fos);
                       
            org.jdom.output.SAXOutputter saxOutput = new 
org.jdom.output.SAXOutputter(hssf);
            saxOutput.output(doc);

            System.out.println("Done");
