I need to write one java program which monitors a folder containing excel sheets (.xls format) . Once a new excel sheet is added I have to update the database in db2 and move the excel sheet to other place.
Please suggest
It sounds like you need to get notified if files appear in a directory. Java 7 has good support for this, see this article about the Watch Service API. The db2 part, well it isn’t clear what you mean by “update”, but likely you want to parse the content of the xls file and make some database updates. Apache POI is a good starting place for reading the content of the file into a Java process.
