HSSF Models

[Kais Dukes]

 Hi POI Developers,

 I am trying to understand the POI user model, and in particular, its
relationship to the low-level model. Digging into the code, I see then when
an existing spreadsheet is loaded, we first create the low-level model, and
then create an equiavalent user model. For example,
HSSFSheet.setPropertiesFromSheet creates HSSFRow and HSSFCell objects for
each row and cell in the spreadsheet.

 I can think of two different scenarios:

 (1) These two models are kept in sync when we remove/add rows and cells.
 or (2) The user model is just a "view" of the underlying low-level model,
and is created on demand.

 I am assuming that HSSF goes for (1) ... am I correct?

 Looking forward to any replies :-)
