-----------------------------------
Summary: Update Excel WFS reponse plugin to use streaming api for Excel 2007 documents
Key: GEOS-4940
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4940
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Excel
Affects Versions: 2.2.x
Reporter: Shane StClair
Assignee: Shane StClair
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.2.x
Attachments: excel.patch
This patch updates the Excel WFS response plugin to use the latest version of the Apache POI library (3.8-beta5). This allows the use of the SXSSF streaming api, which allows for the generation of large XML based Excel documents with low memory usage. This changes allows us to stop using hacks to get around the previous memory issue and greatly simplifies the plugin architecture.
One note: the excel plugin and dependencies is now 10MB (8.4MB zipped). I don't think this is avoidable due to the need for the large poi libraries, and assume that it's permissible since the plugin isn't part of the GeoServer core download, but thought I should mention anyway.
I'll apply this update in a few days unless I hear any protests...
