Question

Recently upgraded POI jar version from 3.17 to 5.1 and below code which was working in 3.x is now broken, ( jdk 1.8 )

Below are the set of Jar used

below is my stub:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.util.Iterator;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Cell;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Row;
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFSheet;
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook;
public class ReadExcelDemo 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        try
        {
            FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream(new File("D:\\TemporaryUploadContainer\\61C50E5C2395C7FB48499BCFDD797F15_QuickCartExample.xlsx"));
 
            //Workbook workbook1 = WorkbookFactory.create(file);
            //Sheet sheet1 = workbook1.getSheetAt(0);
                        
            XSSFWorkbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(file);
            XSSFSheet sheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0);
 
            //Iterate through each rows one by one
            Iterator<Row> rowIterator = sheet.iterator();
            while (rowIterator.hasNext()) 
            {
                Row row = rowIterator.next();
                //For each row, iterate through all the columns
                Iterator<Cell> cellIterator = row.cellIterator();
                 
                while (cellIterator.hasNext()) 
                {
                    Cell cell = cellIterator.next();
                    //Check the cell type and format accordingly
                    switch (cell.getCellType()) 
                    {
                        case NUMERIC:
                            System.out.print(cell.getNumericCellValue() + "t");
                            break;
                        case STRING:
                            System.out.print(cell.getStringCellValue() + "t");
                            break;
                    }
                }
                System.out.println("");
            }
            file.close();
        } 
        catch (Exception e) 
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Below Error for : Workbook workbook1 = WorkbookFactory.create(file);

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Try to remove poi-ooxml-schemas-4.1.2.jar, and add poi-ooxml-lite-5.2.1.jar

Answer 2

I had the same problem with Netbeans, when i try to use:

XSSFWorkbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(fis);

or

Workbook workbook = WorkbookFactory.create(inputFile);

I fixed the problem changing poi-ooxml-schemas-4.1.2.jar for poi-ooxml-lite-5.2.2.jar
