If you're modifying spreadsheet data then use the usermodel api. You
can also generate spreadsheets this way.
</p>
+ <p>
+ Note that the usermodel system has a higher memory footprint than
+ the low level eventusermodel, but have the major advantage of being
+ much simpler to work with. Also please be aware that as the new
+ XSSF supported Excel 2007 OOXML (.xlsx) files are XML based,
+ the memory footprint for processing them is higher than for the
+ older HSSF supported (.xls) binary files.
