Editing contents of an excel spreadsheet is already fully supported by the hssf

Isn't the following code kind of an over kill to update a single cell in a huge
workbook with many sheets?

InputStream inp = new FileInputStream("wb.xls");
    Workbook wb = WorkbookFactory.create(inp);
    Sheet sheet = wb.getSheetAt([sheet index]);
    Row row = sheet.getRow([row index]);
    Cell cell = row.getCell([cell index]);
    String cellContents = cell.getStringCellValue(); 
    //Modify the cellContents here
    // Write the output to a file
    cell.setCellValue(cellContents); 
    FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream("wb.xls");
    wb.write(fileOut);
    fileOut.close();

Sorry to say this but I do not understand what the problem is. If you are
going to change the value of a cell you HAVE to open the file, gain access
to that cell, change it's value and then store the workbook away again.

How can you see the process being streamlined in any way?

Yours

Hijack old bug? ;) I preferred to use an already requested enhancement (rather
than a bug) as asking for an enhancement on a list wouldn't help!

Sure, the title of the enhancement does not make sense to my context, in which
case, you could have suggested me to raise a new enhancement or is my question
incorrect, that I should ask for a solution on the list?
