/**
 * Convenient superclass for Excel document views.
 * 
 * This class uses the JExcelAPI instead of POI. More
 * information on JExcelAPI can be found on their website.
 *
 * 
Properties:
 * 

 * url (optional): The url of an existing Excel document to pick as a
 * starting point. It is done without localization part nor the .xls extension.
 * 
 * 
 * The file will be searched with locations in the following order:
 * 

 * [url]_[language]_[country].xls
 * 
[url]_[language].xls
 * 
[url].xls
 * 
 * 
 * For working with the workbook in the subclass, see Java Excel API site
 * 
 * 
As an example, you can try this snippet:
 * 
 * 
 * protected void buildExcelDocument(Map model, WritableWorkbook workbook, HttpServletRequest request,
 * 		HttpServletResponse response) {
 * 	if (workbook.getNumberOfSheets() == 0) {
 * 		workbook.createSheet("Spring", 0);
 * 	}
 * 
 * 	WritableSheet sheet = workbook.getSheet("Spring");
 * 	Label label = new Label(0, 0, "This is a nice label");
 * 	sheet.addCell(label);
 * }
 * 
 * The use of this view is close to the AbstractExcelView class,
 * just using the JExcel API instead of the Apache POI API.
