XML ->XLS (Excel)

[carlos sanchez]

Hi!
I'm looking for a solution (not a product) to transform an XML document into an excel table.
I've heard that this is possible using Cocoon & Poi (this was the first time I heard these terms). So, is there an easier way. Has someone done this?
Thanks a lot.

This is NOT a direct answer to your question, but related to your comment
Poi (this was the first time I heard these terms
Check out this article on use of POI to read Excel files.
Maybe you can get some ideas on implementing these principles for your application.

Thanks a lot,
I looked up the reference to POI in jakarta.apache.org and downloded the Poor Obfuscation Implementation. It's very usefull, they are integrating it with cocoon, but for little messes you can use it independently.
If someone needs the link here it is:
