Hi Dan, meet Dan, your other self who apparently does work while
you
are out of it. ;)
Be sure to double-charge your customer! ;-)
I found the CDK wiki, Petes blog and some skypecall component
tutorial, I'll have a look (although Daniel might have more background
knowledge).
I have a similar ExcelFactory complete from a similar project that
should be quite re-usable once I get as far as a tag that iterates
over a datamodel.
Since the specs and structure of the end-result (the xls file) is
quite fixed, the excel-generation can probably be modified to support
POI and
other libraries as well. Well, perhaps it's best to get *one* version
working before thinking of that.
