B4J Question jPOI + non-UI jserver

[udg]

Hi all,

I'd like to send some structured data from a B4A app to a server and have it inserted in an Excel spreadsheet. Since I'm using it locally (on my desktop), my first thought went to jPOI. Can it be embedded in a non-Ui server application?
If it's feasible, I could upload data as a single csv file ora as a list of records (via POST or similar).

What alternatives could you suggest (one could be the aPOI lib to generate locally the spreadsheet than the usual chooser/mail/.. to make it available for further use)?
Should I go to the same path @Erel used here?

In general, I like the server-based service idea because it could be of general use: any app could send its data, instructing the service on how to create the proper spreadsheet.

Thank you for your comments and suggestions.

Only PoiCellStyle and PoiFont depend on JavaFX APIs.

You should make a small test but I expect it to work if you don't use these two types.

Very good news, thank you!
Tomorrow morning I'll try to build something useful and post here my findings.
