Upgrade Notes

  • Package names of classes in zpoi.jar are renamed from org.apache.poi.* to org.zkoss.poi.* to avoid class name conflicts with of those in poi.jar, so it is now OK to put both zpoi.jar and poi.jar in class path.
  • Spec. of Range#getColumn(), Range#getRow(), Range#getLastColumn(), Range#getLastRow(), Range#getCells() has changed from 1-based to 0-based so it consists with other APIs. That is, in new spec, Range#getColumn() return 0 for column A (1st column) and Range#getRow() return 0 for row 1 (1st row).
  • Spreadsheet#getSelectedSheet() return org.zkoss.zss.model.Worksheet
  • Methods range(org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Sheet sheet, ...) in org.zkoss.zss.model.Ranges changed signature to range(org.zkoss.zss.model.Worksheet sheet, ...)
  • Ported to work with ZK 5
  • The backend data model and formula evaluation engine is completly _REWRITTEN_ to be based on Apache POI library(Java API To Access Microsoft Excel Format Files) such that we can support more features. The consequence are most classes and APIs that were in org.zkoss.zss.model of version 1.x no longer exist.
  • Spreadsheet remove deprecated method setUrl and getUrl. Use setSrc and getSrc instead
  • Spreadsheet remove deprecated method setMaxrow and getMaxrow. Use getMaxrows and setMaxrows instead
  • Spreadsheet remove deprecated method setMaxcolumn and getMaxcolumn. Use getMaxcolumns and setMaxcolumns instead
