As you all know the proven methodology to access the data in Excel spread sheets is using the JDBC-ODBC bridge with the excel drivers. But when the file is expected from the client (browser or Swing GUI)
1. Is there a way to convert the Excel data into delimtted flat file ( or Java objects) on the client itslef
2. If has to be done by the server, what is the way to do dynamically without the need to create DSN etc..

A fast response is very well appreciated. Thanks

There are many commercial products.
FormulaOne (www.tidestone.com) is one of them.

(I've never used it)

Sincere thanks for the response..As a matter of fact we are using it now !!!

But I do wish to make it as a simple task by writing my own custom implementation on the fly at the client itself.
