I have a problem with Apache POI project.
I failed to use XSSF
and HSSF
in the "Same Java Class". Which jar should I download or which artifact should I get add into maven?
I want to handle both xls
and xlsx
files at the same time. When I get excel version error, I will change the XSSF to HSSF or HSSF to XSSF.
How can I do this?
Instead of doing that, try using the new release of Apache POI 3.7, it has SS package which handles both HSSF and XSSF without worrying about type
Details here: http://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/index.html
Aside from the "standard" SS package solution, you can also simply use an if statement
to correctly load the right workbook format
into an Workbook interface
object, like so:
Workbook workbook; //<-Interface, accepts both HSSF and XSSF.
File file = new File("YourExcelFile.xlsx");
if (FileUtils.getFileExt(file).equalsIgnoreCase("xls")) {
workbook = new HSSFWorkbook(new FileInputStream(file));
} else if (FileUtils.getFileExt(file).equalsIgnoreCase("xlsx")) {
workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(new FileInputStream(file));
} else {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Received file does not have a standard excel extension.");
}
Use the factory instead which handles both xssf and hssf
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Workbook;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.WorkbookFactory;
Workbook wb = WorkbookFactory.create(new File("file"))
This worked for me:
filePath = "C:\Users\user1\workspace\myproject\Excel.xlsx"
String extension = FilenameUtils.getExtension(filePath);
System.out.println(extension);
