Description Daniel White 2007-08-13 06:14:11 UTC 
We're using POI in server environments with tight security settings so we have
been using some customised code to catch exceptions thrown when system
properties are accessed. This patch catches the security exceptions and assigns
a sensible default value. The TempFile class also needs modifying but our
solution has been to use the code used elsewhere in our application for creating
temporary files.

(My first patch, apologies if I've been an idiot in any way!)

Thanks, patch applied

In future, there's no need to compress very small patches, as space isn't an
issue, and it makes it more faff to scan through them!
