Hi, I am reading excel using POI, but I have started getting an error :
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at sun.reflect.GeneratedConstructorAccessor134.newInstance(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(DelegatingCons tructorAccessorImpl.java:27) at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Constructor.java:274) at org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFactory.createRecord(RecordFactory.java :224) at org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFactory.createRecords(RecordFactory.jav a:160) at org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook.<init>(HSSFWorkbook.java:163) I found this happens if my excel have a cell that is defined as List using Data -> Validation -> settings -> list Its more strange that this cell is being the first time by Poi but if I open the excel and change the list cell value and save and read again thru my application using POI, the above error comes, if I change this cell type as data->validation->settings->any value, then no problem in reading the excel. Please help, I am using the latest POI release, Garima. **************************************************************************************** Note: If the reader of this message is not the intended recipient, or an employee or agent responsible for delivering this message to the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that any dissemination, distribution or copying of this communication is strictly prohibited.
