             Summary: Excel: Validate table name before creating sheet
                 Key: METAMODEL-205
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METAMODEL-205
             Project: Apache MetaModel
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Kasper Sørensen


In the DataCleaner project we've noticed that creating an Excel "table" (sheet) is not always done in the way we imagine. There are certain characters that are illegal and the length of the sheet should not go beyond 31 characters. But nevertheless POI will silently convert the table name into a valid name. The issue with that is that it gives a MetaModel user a feeling that the table was created as he imagined it but actually another table was created. I think we should rather then throw an exception just like any typical database would.
