Hi Satish,
I do not know about your application requirements. But, usually we use Excel files for display and storage of application data. The modifications you can easily carry out using JSP pages. Later the modifications can be saved back to Excel.
To answer your query, there is a API on (
!! it is Jakarta Stuff !! No cost) Jakarta site that allows you to read and write Excel files. That jakarta project is Jakarta POI project.
Now you need to display the Excel file and save the changes done by the user. So, you can use this Jakarta API to read and display Excel file as well as to save the changes to the Excel file.
(I have not used this API much,so you need to diggin more if you need.
)
Regards,
Sachin
