Hi,
I am trying to read an Excel 2000 file using HSSF. If I hardcode the filename,
the code reads it perfectly. But if I upload the file from the browser into a
ServletInputStream, I get an IOException - Invalid Header signature.
My code is:
ServletInputStream is = request.getInputStream();
InputStream ins = (InputStream)is;
POIFSFileSystem fs = new POIFSFileSystem(ins);
HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(fs);
HSSFSheet sheet = wb.getSheetAt(0);
HSSFRow row = sheet.getRow(1);
HSSFCell cell = row.getCell((short)0);
String c1 = cell.getStringCellValue();
If I do
POIFSFileSystem fs = new POIFSFileSystem(new FileInputStream("Test.xls"));
instead, it reads the contents without errors.
I am getting the following exception:
java.io.IOException: Invalid header signature; read 3255307777713450285,
expected -2226271756974174256
Please help.
thanks, AN
