My task is to create a simple html that will take all the information from an excel sheet and display it into a html page. Not really that important for now but in the future, make the change live. So if the excel document gets updated, the html page gets updated almost instantaneously. I will basically just need to open the html page and I can see all the data from the excel sheet.
What I'm thinking of doing is using some java code, and then embedding that in the html to display it.

That seems like something I could mostly reuse for the java portion. I don't know if there are better options to do this. Are there any other ways you could suggest where I can accomplish my goal but would be simpler or more efficient?
In the future, how could I possibly make the change on the html page live or close to live if the excel sheet changes?
