        try {
            w = Workbook.getWorkbook(inputWorkbook);
            // Get the first sheet
            Sheet sheet = w.getSheet(0);
            // Loop over first 10 column and lines

            Vector<Employee> data = new Vector<Employee>();
            for (int j = 1; j < sheet.getRows(); j++) 
              { 

                          Employee emp = new Employee()
               for (int i = 0; i < sheet.getColumns(); i++) 
               { 
                   Cell cell = sheet.getCell(i, j);
                 //  d.add(cell.getContents());
                               emp.setId(cell.getContents());
                              emp.setName(cell.getContents());
                              emp.setEmail(cell.getContents());
                }
                 //  d.add("\n");
                   data.add(emp);   

                //insertEmployee(emp);
            }

here my code i can add cell content into vector object. but i want set cell content value into Employee class property.Please tell how I achieve this.I am not getting right value from emp object.What I was doing wrong in my code when i adding content into list

Answer 1

You will have to set the values manually.

You can write a switch statement and set the values for each column index like this:

List<Employee> employees = new ArrayList<Employee>();
...
Employee emp = new Employee();
for (int i = 0; i < sheet.getColumns(); i++) 
{ 
    Cell cell = sheet.getCell(i, j);
    switch (i) {
    // column 0 = ID
    case 0:
        emp.setId(cell.getContents());
        break;
    // column 1 = Name
    case 1:
        emp.setName(cell.getContents());
        break;
    // column 2 = Email
    case 2:
        //... etc
        break;
    }

}
employees.add(emp);
