The Apache Jakarta Project (part of which was already mentioned) has a sub-project called POI: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/index.html That has sub-components that can read and write XLS and DOC files from Java. I've used the Excel writer at work so we could generate and mail XLS spreadsheets from a web-application - running entirely under Linux. The bulk of the software in the project is Apache/mod_perl/Pas/Postgres. At the time we started the project there were no Perl modules that could read/write XLS files, so we used Java for that one part of the application. It started out, and remains, a completely open-source solution.
