reading from excel file.

hi,

I want to read a excel file and display its data in a jsp. But my problem is that i have to read only those data that are in bold. is there any packages that support this kind of reading. I foung many excel reading packages but they are read simple format.

Looking through the POI API, you can retrieve the font index from a cell via HSSFCell.getCellStyle().getFontIndex(), and then retrieve the corresponding HSSFFont via HSSFWorkbook.getFontAt(short). That object tells you whether a cell is in bold or not.
