I want to read an excel file in JSP,for this I first uploaded the file in a folder in the :D partition named uploads using a web application project,and I tried to read the excel uploaded file with an another java projet.The both codes are working.Here it is the code of uploading in a specific folder via web application project(JSP and SERVLET):

Libraries

  1. commons-fileupload-1.2.2.jar
  2. commons-io-2.1.jar

index.jsp

<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Upload File</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="UploadFile" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select File : <input type="file" name="filetoupload">
<br/>
<input type="submit" value="Upload File">
</form>
</body>
</html>

UploadServlet.java(Servlet)

import java.io.*;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileItem;
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileItemFactory;
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.disk.DiskFileItemFactory;
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.servlet.ServletFileUpload;
import org.apache.commons.io.FilenameUtils;

public class UploadFile extends HttpServlet{

String saveFile="D:/upload/"; 

protected void processRequest(...)throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

try {
boolean ismultipart=ServletFileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);
if(!ismultipart){

}else{
FileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
List items = null;

try{

items = upload.parseRequest(request);
}catch(Exception e){
}
Iterator itr = items.iterator();
while(itr.hasNext()){
FileItem item = (FileItem)itr.next();
if(item.isFormField()){

}else{
String itemname = item.getName();
if((itemname==null || itemname.equals(""))){
continue;
}
String filename = FilenameUtils.getName(itemname);
File f = checkExist(filename);
item.write(f);
}
}
}

}catch(Exception e){

}
finally {
out.close();
}
}

private File checkExist(String fileName) {
File f = new File(saveFile+"/"+fileName);

if(f.exists()){
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(fileName);
sb.insert(sb.lastIndexOf("."),"-"+new Date().getTime());
f = new File(saveFile+"/"+sb.toString());
}
return f;
}

@Override
protected void doGet(...)throws ServletException, IOException {
processRequest(request, response);

}

@Override
protected void doPost(...)throws ServletException, IOException {
processRequest(request, response);
}

@Override
public String getServletInfo() {
return "Short description";
}

}

Then I create a new JAVA PROJECT (SWING) and try the code of reading an EXCEL File via POI,It worked as well,here its is the code:

Libraries

  1. dom4j-1.6.1.jar
  2. poi-3.10-FINAL-20140208.jar
  3. poi-ooxml-3.9-20121203.jar
  4. poi-ooxml-schemas-3.9-20121203.jar
  5. xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar

JavaApplication.java

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Iterator;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Cell;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Row;
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFSheet;
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook;

public class JavaApplication{
public static void main(String[] args){
try{
FileInputStream file;
file = new FileInputStream(new File("D:\\upload\\total.xlsx"));

//Create Workbook instance holding reference to .xlsx file
XSSFWorkbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(file);

//Get first/desired sheet from the workbook
XSSFSheet sheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0);

//Iterate through each rows one by one
Iterator<Row> rowIterator = sheet.iterator();
while (rowIterator.hasNext()){
Row row = rowIterator.next();
//For each row, iterate through all the columns
Iterator<Cell> cellIterator = row.cellIterator();

while (cellIterator.hasNext()){
Cell cell = cellIterator.next();

//Check the cell type and format accordingly
switch (cell.getCellType()){
case Cell.CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC:
System.out.print(cell.getNumericCellValue() + "t");
break;
case Cell.CELL_TYPE_STRING:
System.out.print(cell.getStringCellValue() + "t");
break;
}
}
System.out.println("");
}
file.close();
} 
catch (Exception e) 
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

The question is how to mix these two codes to can UPLOAD the file then print the data from EXCEL to a table in JSP ???? help me i'm stuck for over a month on this procedure

As per this Apache POI FAQ entry, jars from mixed versions are not supported, so you should fix your program to only use POI jars from the same versionKathline

after item.write(f); add this

InputStream inputStream= new ByteArrayInputStream(IOUtils.toByteArray(new FileInputStream(f)));

Workbook wb = WorkbookFactory.create(inputStream);
Sheet mySheet = wb.getSheetAt(0);
Iterator<Row> rowIter = mySheet.rowIterator();
rowIter.next();

continue your code from here.

user_id and Age Should Be Integer remaining should be String

abouve Code is for java 1.5 accepts only xls file not xlsx, libraries are

mysql-connector-java-5.1.18-bin.jar is if you are trying to store in databse. Its not mandatoryChilpancingo
