Ben Nadel's POI utility is nothing more than a CFC/custom tag wrapper to the 
POI library included with ColdFusion. It's still all Apache POI code 
behind-the-scenes.

 Apache POI is an open-source Apache-license Java library. It has nothing to do 
with the Apache Web Server, other than being licensed under that foundation 
(the Apache foundation).

 Like I said, a version of Apache POI is already included with ColdFusion. Go 
to your installation directory and look in lib. On CF8, there is:
 poi-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar
 poi-contrib-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar

 The newest version of POI is 3.1, released on 6-29-2008. I haven't had any 
problems removing the POI included with CF and replacing it with the newer 
version, but your experience may vary.
