POI stability

[Zhang Zhang <zh...@gmail.com>]

Hi, All

A question comes out from my team around POI's stability, looks like for now
POI would prefer to have the runtime exceptions throw out, but form long
running perspective, this make the POI very difficult to manager. Can we
have a mode in POI that customer can handle the exceptions themself? Or has
a parameter to control the behavior when exceptions happened?


Cheers

try {
 	// POI Stuff
} catch(Throwable t) {
 	// Handle
}

?

Generally, there are two ways to get POI to throw an exception. One is to 
ask it to do something clearly silly. You can avoid these by not asking it 
to do silly things... The other is to feed it a broken file. You can avoid 
this by not giving it broken files...!
