cfspreadsheet extension 3 0 5 released and version 3 0 4 removed extensions lucee dev lucee dev cfspreadsheet extension 3 0 5 released and version 3 0 4 removed hacking extensions zackster march 18 2026 12 22am 1 this extension is not maintained and has only be provided as a stop gap measure to allow upgrading see notes section below tl dr cfspreadsheet 3 0 4 has been removed from the extension provider it breaks lucee 6 2 servers on restart felix cache corruption potentially wiping server config and is completely non functional on lucee 7 version 3 0 5 fixes both issues if you re on 6 2 and already hit the crash see the workaround below what happened with 3 0 4 cfspreadsheet 3 0 4 was released to add lucee 7 compatibility by bundling org apache commons lang 2 6 jar a dependency of the bundled poi 3 15 library unfortunately this triggered two separate bugs on lucee 6 2 the lucee core function osgiutil improvefilename renames any bundle jar whose filename doesn t match the normalised osgi version since commons lang has bundle version 2 6 which osgi normalises to 2 6 0 the file gets renamed from 2 6 jar to 2 6 0 jar on disk but felix s bundle cache still references the old filename on the next restart felix tries to install the jar at the new path and finds a duplicate registration crashing with bundleexception bundle symbolic name and version are not unique org apache commons lang 2 6 0 in some environments the error recovery code in the lucee loader aggressively deletes the felix cache directory which can wipe the entire lucee server context configuration see ldev 6145 and ldev 6144 on lucee 7 0 7 1 the extension still shipped a lar archive containing pre compiled lucee bytecode from 2016 this bytecode references javax servlet jsp tagext tag which doesn t exist in lucee 7 s jakarta ee environment every spreadsheet function fails immediately what s fixed in 3 0 5 commons lang embedded inside the osgi bundle jar commons lang 2 6 jar is now on the bundle classpath inside cfspreadsheet_3 0 5 jar and removed from import package no external commons lang jar is deployed so improvefilename is never triggered the felix cache corruption cannot occur source cfml replaces compiled bytecode the old lar archive with 2016 bytecode has been replaced with a components directory containing the source spreadsheet cfc lucee compiles it at runtime so it works on both 6 2 and 7 x tested across lucee 6 2 5 48 7 0 2 106 and 7 1 0 61 snapshot including restart survival on 6 2 if you ve already been hit lucee 6 2 if your server is crashing after installing 3 0 4 stop lucee delete org apache commons lang 2 6 0 jar from lucee server bundles delete the felix cache directory lucee server context felix cache drop cfspreadsheet 3 0 3 lex into lucee server deploy to downgrade until 3 0 5 is available from the provider start lucee then upgrade to 3 0 5 once it s available via the admin a note on this extension cfspreadsheet is currently unmaintained it bundles apache poi 3 15 from 2016 which has known cves and exports jdk packages javax xml org w3c from its osgi bundle something that may cause issues in future lucee versions for new projects we recommend spreadsheet cfml by cfsimplicity which uses a current version of poi and is actively maintained it provides a function based api for spreadsheet operations cfspreadsheet 3 0 5 is provided as a stop gap for existing applications that depend on the cfspreadsheet tag or the spreadsheet built in functions particularly for those upgrading from lucee 5 6 to lucee 7 ideally a future version would wrap spreadsheet cfml as the underlying engine while keeping the cfspreadsheet tag and spreadsheet function interfaces but that needs someone to step up as a maintainer if you re interested reach out here on forum related ldev 6145 improvefilename root cause pr pending ldev 6144 loader recovery bug pr pending forum upgrades not showing in admin forum issues updating lucee 6 forum lucee 7 and cfspreadsheet error github cfspreadsheet lucee 5 4 likes lucee losing all configuration settings every restart lucee 6 2 7 0 latest upgrades not showing in the admin workaround issues updating lucee 6 and its extensions minifiredragon march 25 2026 4 16am 2 i see then the above error is probably what was probably causing my problems in https dev lucee org t lucee 6 2 1 122 not saving setting and red 500 on restart 15101 22 as i had the cfspreadsheet extension installed and the folders would get wiped as described above jyuskus september 15 2026 12 47pm 3 i have an offline system that i need to upgrade to lucee 7 x and there is no download link for cfspreadsheet 3 0 5 on downloads can a download link be provided to 3 0 5 giantschingt october 6 2026 5 52am 4 jyuskus here s the direct link to 3 0 5 https ext lucee org cfspreadsheet 3 0 5 lex on the offline server copy the file into lucee server deploy lucee picks it up at startup or within about a minute and installs it if it doesn t show up lucee server context logs deploy log will tell you why make sure you get 3 0 5 because 3 0 4 doesn t work on lucee 7 as zac wrote above this extension isn t maintained anymore and is there to help with upgrades so longer term it s worth planning a move away from it home categories guidelines terms of service privacy policy powered by discourse best viewed with javascript enabled
