/**
* Demonstrates a workaround you can use to generate large workbooks and avoid OutOfMemory exception.
*
- * The trick is as follows:
+ * Note - You probably <em>don't want to use this approach any more</em>! POI
+ * now includes the SXSSF which handles all of this for you, you should
+ * be using that instead! This code remains mostly for historical interest.
+ * <p>
+ * See <a "http://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/how-to.html#sxssf">
+ * http://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/how-to.html#sxssf</a>.
+ * <p>
+ * If you really want to use this approach, which is also the one that SXSSF
+ * does for you, it works as follows:
+ *
* 1. create a template workbook, create sheets and global objects such as cell styles, number formats, etc.
* 2. create an application that streams data in a text file
* 3. Substitute the sheet in the template with the generated data
*
* <p>
- * Since 3.8-beta3 POI provides a low-memory footprint SXSSF API which implementing the "BigGridDemo" strategy.
- * XSSF is an API-compatible streaming extension of XSSF to be used when
- * very large spreadsheets have to be produced, and heap space is limited.
- * SXSSF achieves its low memory footprint by limiting access to the rows that
- * are within a sliding window, while XSSF gives access to all rows in the
- * document. Older rows that are no longer in the window become inaccessible,
- * as they are written to the disk.
