DO NOT REPLY [Bug 46748] New: Generated files cannot be read by
Google or on BlackBerry
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46748
Summary: Generated files cannot be read by Google or on
BlackBerry
Product: POI
Version: 3.5-dev
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: HSSF
AssignedTo: dev@poi.apache.org
ReportedBy: jdurrell@gmail.com
Created an attachment (id=23285)
--> (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=23285)
Sample generated file
The .xls files created with the 3.5 beta cannot be read on BlackBerry or by
Google applications. Both Google's client on mobile and the "View as HTML"
feature in Gmail report that file as corrupted. Excel and Google Docs can read
the file.
This can be reproduced with the simplest of files:
HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook();
HSSFSheet sheet = wb.createSheet("test");
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("/tmp/blah.xls");
wb.write(fos);
fos.close();

How did you send the xls to your device?
What mimetype does the gmail client report for the attachment?

To be clear, the BlackBerry viewer cannot read the file either; the problem
isn't limited to Google code. Thanks.

Thanks for jumping on this so quickly.
> How did you send the xls to your device?
I've put the file on the device in multiple ways: an email attachment through
both the Gmail client and the BlackBerry client, and via download through the
browser. To rule out transmission quirks, I confirmed that an Excel-generated
file put on the device through the same methods works fine.
> What mimetype does the gmail client report for the attachment?
The Google client doesn't show a mime type that I could see, but the http
headers in the download show:
Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel
One other point to clarify -- the testing with Google's "View as HTML" was done
on a PC, not on a BlackBerry. Actually, it's a server-side error from Google
so the PC doesn't matter, but the important element is that I tried to make
sure the problem wasn't BlackBerry-specific. Otherwise I'd probably have filed
the defect with RIM instead. :-)

Updated the platforms. Excel files generated on Linux exhibit this problem,
and readers on multiple platforms fail when accessing the files.

--- Comment #5 from Dominik Stadler <do...@gmx.at> ---
Current POI and current Google Mail work together well both with the simple
sample file attached as well as with more complex documents produced by POI, I
think this is fixed either on the side of POI or Google, sorry, but cannot test
on BlackBerry.
I am resolving this for now, please reopen with fresh samples if it still does
not work for you.
