  +--jxl.WorkbookSettings

public final class WorkbookSettings

extends java.lang.Object

This is a bean which client applications may use to set various advanced workbook properties. Use of this bean is not mandatory, and its absence will merely result in workbooks being read/written using the default settings

Field Summary

private int	arrayGrowSize The amount of memory allocated to the array containing the workbook data when its current amount is exhausted.
private boolean	chartsDisabled Flag to indicate whether the chart feature is enabled or not Charts deactivated using -Djxl.nocharts=true on the JVM command line Activated by default or by using -Djxl.nocharts=false on the JVM command line
private static int	defaultArrayGrowSize
private static int	defaultInitialFileSize
private boolean	gcDisabled Flag to indicate whether the system hint garbage collection is enabled or not.
private int	initialFileSize The amount of memory allocated to store the workbook data when reading a worksheet.
private java.util.Locale	locale The locale.
private boolean	namesDisabled Flag to indicate whether the name feature is enabled or not Names deactivated using -Djxl.nonames=true on the JVM command line Activated by default or by using -Djxl.nonames=false on the JVM command line

Constructor Summary

WorkbookSettings()
Default constructor

Method Summary

int	getArrayGrowSize() Accessor for the array grow size property
boolean	getChartsDisabled() Gets the charts disabled flag
boolean	getGCDisabled() Accessor for the disabling of garbage collection

Field Detail

initialFileSize

private int initialFileSize

The amount of memory allocated to store the workbook data when reading a worksheet. For processeses reading many small workbooks inside a WAS it might be necessary to reduce the default size

arrayGrowSize

private int arrayGrowSize

The amount of memory allocated to the array containing the workbook data when its current amount is exhausted.

chartsDisabled

private boolean chartsDisabled

Flag to indicate whether the chart feature is enabled or not Charts deactivated using -Djxl.nocharts=true on the JVM command line Activated by default or by using -Djxl.nocharts=false on the JVM command line

namesDisabled

private boolean namesDisabled

Flag to indicate whether the name feature is enabled or not Names deactivated using -Djxl.nonames=true on the JVM command line Activated by default or by using -Djxl.nonames=false on the JVM command line

gcDisabled

private boolean gcDisabled

Flag to indicate whether the system hint garbage collection is enabled or not. As a rule of thumb, it is desirable to enable garbage collection when reading large spreadsheets from a batch process or from the command line, but better to deactivate the feature when reading large spreadsheets within a WAS, as the calls to System.gc() not only garbage collect the junk in JExcelApi, but also in the webservers JVM and can cause significant slowdown GC deactivated using -Djxl.nogc=true on the JVM command line Activated by default or by using -Djxl.nogc=false on the JVM command line

locale

private java.util.Locale locale

The locale. Normally this is the same as the system locale, but there may be cases (eg. where you are uploading many spreadsheets from foreign sources) where you may want to specify the locale on an individual worksheet basis The locale may also be specified on the command line using the lang and country System properties eg. -Djxl.lang=en -Djxl.country=UK for UK English

defaultInitialFileSize

private static final int defaultInitialFileSize

defaultArrayGrowSize

private static final int defaultArrayGrowSize

getGCDisabled

public boolean getGCDisabled()

Accessor for the disabling of garbage collection

Returns:

FALSE if JExcelApi hints for garbage collection, TRUE otherwise

getNamesDisabled

public boolean getNamesDisabled()

Accessor for the disabling of interpretation of named ranges

Returns:

FALSE if named cells are interpreted, TRUE otherwise
