Question

Problem reading Excel 2007 file .xlsx file extention, while I am trying to read with apache poi:

InputStream file = new FileInputStream(C:\\test.xlsx);

---> XSSFWorkbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(file);

This line giving me an exception Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xmlbeans/XmlObject
please, what can be cause of this error?

Answer 1

you need to include a jar file named xmlbeans-x.x.x.jar that comes under folder “your_location_of_poi\poi-x.x\ooxml-lib\” in your classpath.

Note: x.x is the version of poi that you are using and x.x.x is the version number of that jar file under the above mentioned folder
