volunteered for a dumb thing

[unclescrooge]

hi, i volunteered to create an app to write to an excel spreadsheet for my office. trouble is that i can't use vb, it'll be hosted on a networked drive without any scripting support or php, or anything else.

i guess i'll have to learn java because that's all my company supports. does anyone have any ideas how i can find a tutorial on java writing to an excel file?

i can't use access and i'm not about to learn how to write an app to hook up to our mongo oracle db. i know next to nothing about java but i guess i'd better take the crash course. suggestions where to start? i tried sun but surprise that they don't support excel.
