sending workbook object to a servlet

["Narasimhan, Shyamala" <Sh...@owens-minor.com>]

Hi All

 

I tried to directly upload an xls file and convert it to hssfworkbook in the
servlet .. and at large sizes the xls file was getting corrupted during
upload.. so I have changed the logic in such a way that now I convert it
locally and then send the hssfworkbook object to the servlet using
URLConnection.. in the doPost of the servlet I try to read the object and I
get java.io.OptionalException

 

My questions

1.	is hssfworkbook object fully serializable ?
2.	has anybody successfully sent a workbook object to a servlet.. if
yes please post examples

 

thanks

Shyamala.
