The technology "sweet spot" of using Cocoon + POI + Excel that is described in this article uses Excel as a beginning template. The previously existing HSSF serializer wasn't really built with this paradimg in mind: i.e. shifting around exsiting content dynamcially as new content is inserted. Thus, the reason for the custom Cocoon Excel POI serializer. It does some very specific actions on the excel binary doc to achieve the overall paradigm. Ooops, sorry, yes I may have violated an xml.com regulation here.
