Class ExcelAntHandlerTask

java.lang.Object

org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectComponent

org.apache.tools.ant.Task

org.apache.poi.ss.excelant.ExcelAntHandlerTask

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable

public class ExcelAntHandlerTask
extends org.apache.tools.ant.Task

This is the class that backs the tag in the Ant task.

Its purpose is to provide a way to manipulate a workbook in the course of an ExcelAnt task. The idea being to model a way for test writers to simulate the behaviors of the workbook.

Suppose, for example, you have a workbook that has a worksheet that reacts to values entered or selected by the user. It's possible in Excel to change other cells based on this but this isn't easily possible in POI. In ExcelAnt we handle this using the Handler, which is a Java class you write to manipulate the workbook.

In order to use this tag you must write a class that implements the IExcelAntWorkbookHandler interface. After writing the class you should package it and it's dependencies into a jar file to add as library in your Ant build file.
