hi,


1. How to put data into Excel sheet by using Apache POI ? is this possible?
2. can it be done by writing some service in JavaScript or using some custom widget, to export the mashup report to excel directly?

Hi @Sheetal_sable.

 

You could write your own extension but would need to do adequate testing to confirm the POI libraries don't conflict with the ones that come with ThingWorx.  Here are some links to help with writing your own extension:

Hello @Sheetal_sable ,

 

If you create your own ThingWorx Extension, including the Apache POI Java libraries should be possible.

The extension you create would be similar to what the CSV extension provides.  The extension provides a Widget to receive input and use as the start event for processing. The processing would involve extracting each cells information and making the corresponding calls to the Apache POI library.
