Description duffy duck 2017-07-10 08:05:29 UTC

Sometimes inserting a new cell border, the final xlsx file has the related style.xml which contains the tag <border/> without additional attributes; this behavior causes problems when the xlsx file is subsequently processed.
Do you know if the insertion of the empty <border/> tag is correct ?

Can you provide the following?
* poi version
* unit test or sample code
* a description of what happens when you try to read the xlsx file

All sub-elements of the cell border are optional in the ECMA OOXML spec, so an empty tag is allowed.

It is also allowed to be missing entirely.

In POI the class XSSFCellStyle handles undefined and defaulted/empty border definitions properly.  What problem are you having specifically?

If ECMA OOXML spec allows this behavior then we will try to solve our problem on the SW which access the excel file.
Thanks

Since no action was taken, changing this to WON'T FIX.
