XSSF doesn't have the method protectSheet as we have for HSSF API
Please don't abuse Bugzilla. Changing the priority of a bug to Blocker will not help us to fix it sooner. If you are really interested in fixing this issue - you are welcome to do a research and figure out which bits of the SpreadsheetML are missing. If you need a guidance, please ask, I will be happy to help. Yegor

Let me know if there is any workaround in XSSF API to protect worksheet with a password. This a kind of show stopper for my project currently. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Vivek
Created attachment 25886 [details] SVN patch to support sheet protection is XSSF and testcase for same Added a protectSheet method to XSSFSheet also added the protectSheet method as part of the Sheet interface.
Applied in r986649 with minor tweaks in unit tests. Thanks, Yegor
