• Seeing as you wanted actual code for using POI. Here is some to do some exporting:

  import java.util.Date;
  import java.util.List;
  import java.util.ListIterator;
  import java.util.StringTokenizer;
  import java.io.*;
  import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.*;
  
  
  public class XLSExporter implements Exporter {
  
      /**
       * Constructor for XLSExporter
       */
      public XLSExporter(){
      }
  
  
      public void exportFile( File f, List o ) throws IOException{
  
          HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook();
          FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(f);
  
          HSSFSheet sheet = wb.createSheet();
  
  
       ListIterator it = o.listIterator();
  
          //Construct the headings
          HSSFRow headingsRow  = sheet.createRow((short)0); 
  
  
          //Heading format
          HSSFFont headingFont = wb.createFont();
          headingFont.setBoldweight(HSSFFont.BOLDWEIGHT_BOLD);
          HSSFCellStyle headingStyle = wb.createCellStyle();
          headingStyle.setAlignment(HSSFCellStyle.ALIGN_CENTER);
          headingStyle.setFont(headingFont);
  
  
          HSSFCell headingA = headingsRow.createCell((short)0);
          headingA.setCellValue("Heading");
          headingA.setCellStyle(headingStyle);
  
  
  
  
          int i = 1;
          // Iterate over the rows
       while(it.hasNext()){
  
  
        //Create the row
        HSSFRow row  = sheet.createRow((short)i); 
  
        //Write data
        HSSFCell cellRunway = row.createCell((short)0);
        cellRunway.setCellType(HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC);
        cellRunway.setCellValue("Whateva");    
        cellRunway.setCellStyle(standardStyle);
  
  
  
        i++;
       }
  
       //Set the column widths where needed
       sheet.setColumnWidth((short)1, (short)4000); 
  
  
          wb.write(fileOut); // Write the workbook
          fileOut.close();
      }
  
  }
