Apache POI XSSF reading in excel files

Question

I just have a quick question about how to read in an xlsx file using the XSSF format from Apache.

Right now my code looks like this:

InputStream fs = ne         


        

Answer 1

Why are you breaking the file into an InputStream? XSSFWorkbook has a constructor that simply takes the path as a String. Just hard code the path of the string in. Once you create the workbook you can create XSSFSheets from that. Then XSSFCells, which will then finally allow you to read the contents of a single cell (cells are based on x,y locations, essentially)
