Yes,
   You can use apache POI library for creating excel spreadsheets. It's a very good one.
You can refer the apache site for this.
 
If you need the sample code please email me.
 
Thanks

Hi Charudatta,

We have used jExcelApi in one of our production code.  You may refer the tutorial [1] for the jExcelApi project [2]. 

This library supports following features as given on their site:
  • Reads data from Excel 95, 97, 2000, XP, and 2003 workbooks
  • Reads and writes formulas (Excel 97 and later only)
  • Generates spreadsheets in Excel 2000 format
  • Supports font, number and date formatting
  • Supports shading, bordering, and coloring of cells
  • Modifies existing worksheets
  • Is internationalized, enabling processing in almost any locale, country, language, or character encoding (formulas are currently only supported in English, French, Spanish, and German, but more can be added if translated)
  • Supports copying of charts
  • Supports insertion and copying of images into spreadsheets
  • Supports logging with Jakarta Commons Logging, log4j, JDK 1.4 Logger, etc
  • ...and much more


with regards
Tushar

Hi,
jExcelApi too is a good excel API Library. But the disadvantage is there are not too many adopters for it. Hence when you are stuck in a issue related to jExcelApi, you dont find much help in the internet or in forums. POI is widely used by java developers so when you are stuck in any how-to issues, you can quickly find answers. So i recommend you going forward with POI Library.

Regards
Kiran
