Insert Image into Excel - Java

Question

Hi,

I am working on a java web application where i have to show an image on excel file. i used the java file iopo to write the image to the excel file.

Issue is when the user mail this to client the image does not show up

Is there any way to embed the image into the excel file using java with/without using any external API.

Thanks & Regards Rishi

Answer 1

You must use an external library as there is no standard Excel API for Java.

You should use something along the lines of JExcelAPI.

Answer 2

You can use Apache POI: http://poi.apache.org
