Class SXSSFWorkbook

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Closeable, java.lang.AutoCloseable, Workbook


    public class SXSSFWorkbook
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements Workbook
    Streaming version of XSSFWorkbook implementing the "BigGridDemo" strategy. SXSSFWorkbook defaults to using inline strings instead of a shared strings table. This is very efficient, since no document content needs to be kept in memory, but is also known to produce documents that are incompatible with some clients. With shared strings enabled all unique strings in the document has to be kept in memory. Depending on your document content this could use a lot more resources than with shared strings disabled. Carefully review your memory budget and compatibility needs before deciding whether to enable shared strings or not.
    • Field Detail

      • DEFAULT_WINDOW_SIZE

        public static final int DEFAULT_WINDOW_SIZE
        Specifies how many rows can be accessed at most via getRow(). When a new node is created via createRow() and the total number of unflushed records would exeed the specified value, then the row with the lowest index value is flushed and cannot be accessed via getRow() anymore.

    • Constructor Detail

      • SXSSFWorkbook

        public SXSSFWorkbook()
        Construct a new workbook
      • SXSSFWorkbook

        public SXSSFWorkbook(XSSFWorkbook workbook)
        Construct a workbook from a template.

        There are three use-cases to use SXSSFWorkbook(XSSFWorkbook) :

        1. Append new sheets to existing workbooks. You can open existing workbook from a file or create on the fly with XSSF.
        2. Append rows to existing sheets. The row number MUST be greater than max(rownum) in the template sheet.
        3. Use existing workbook as a template and re-use global objects such as cell styles, formats, images, etc.
        All three use cases can work in a combination.

        What is not supported:
        • Access initial cells and rows in the template. After constructing SXSSFWorkbook(XSSFWorkbook) all internal windows are empty and SXSSFSheet@getRow and SXSSFRow#getCell return null.
        • Override existing cells and rows. The API silently allows that but the output file is invalid and Excel cannot read it.
        Parameters:
        workbook - the template workbook
      • SXSSFWorkbook

        public SXSSFWorkbook(XSSFWorkbook workbook,
                             int rowAccessWindowSize)
        Constructs an workbook from an existing workbook.

        When a new node is created via createRow() and the total number of unflushed records would exceed the specified value, then the row with the lowest index value is flushed and cannot be accessed via getRow() anymore.

        A value of -1 indicates unlimited access. In this case all records that have not been flushed by a call to flush() are available for random access.

        A value of 0 is not allowed because it would flush any newly created row without having a chance to specify any cells.

        Parameters:
        rowAccessWindowSize -

      • SXSSFWorkbook

        public SXSSFWorkbook(int rowAccessWindowSize)
        Construct an empty workbook and specify the window for row access.

        When a new node is created via createRow() and the total number of unflushed records would exceed the specified value, then the row with the lowest index value is flushed and cannot be accessed via getRow() anymore.

        A value of -1 indicates unlimited access. In this case all records that have not been flushed by a call to flush() are available for random access.

      • getRandomAccessWindowSize

        public int getRandomAccessWindowSize()
      • setCompressTempFiles

        public void setCompressTempFiles(boolean compress)
        Set whether temp files should be compressed.

        SXSSF writes sheet data in temporary files (a temp file per-sheet) and the size of these temp files can grow to to a very large size, e.g. for a 20 MB csv data the size of the temp xml file become few GB large. If the "compress" flag is set to true then the temporary XML is gzipped.

        Please note the the "compress" option may cause performance penalty.

        Parameters:
        compress - whether to compress temp files
