I need a high-performance Java API to read data values and data types
from XLS files in a high-performance web application: nothing more. I
want to let my users upload files to my web site, and then I want to
read in XLS files into my database. At some point, I might have
millions of users and dozens of servers running the code.
I'm looking at POI, the Java Excel API, Open XLS, and other open
source and commercial options.
I want something with a simple license agreement that my legal folks
will approve, and that doesn't have any potential legal gotchas... aka
we might own money in the future based on how we use the API and all
of the other unpleasant surprises that sometimes accompany using third
party technology.
For my focused criteria, does anyone have any insight into which Java-
based Excel file reader would be the best choice?
If I pay a one time fee for a commercial product, that might work
provided I have source code.
