Upload Excel file to servlet and get data from it

Question

I'm trying to upload excel file to a servlet, get data from it and then send this data to a database.

And I'm stuck at the very beginning: uploading the file.

To get data from the file, I want to use Apache POI, and here is my code:

System.out.println("entered Import.java"); Part filePart = request.getPart("import"); System.out.println("filePart: "+filePart); FileInputStream inputStream = (FileInputStream) filePart.getInputStream(); System.out.println("inputStream: "+inputStream); Workbook book = WorkbookFactory.create(inputStream); Sheet sheet = book.getSheetAt(0); for (Row row : sheet) { for (Cell cell : row) { System.out.println("row: "+row+", cell value: "+cell.getRichStringCellValue().getString()); } } inputStream.close();

The output of this code is:

entered Import.java filePart: org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationPart@bc6f13 inputStream: java.io.FileInputStream@532048c5 Servlet.service() for servlet [Import] in context with path [/Management] threw exception [Servlet execution threw an exception] with root causejava.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlOptions

The UI part is SAPUI5 framework and here it is.

I looked through this and this threads, but it didn't help me.

How do I get this servlet to work?

Did you try to import the class you are missing? It says it doesn't have the XmlOptions class. You can find it in this jar : java2s.com/Code/Jar/x/Downloadxmlbeansxmlpublic240jar.htm. Try to import it and try again :) — Cesar Villasana

You are missing the jars in your web application which are containing the XmlOptions class.

See the following reply in (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlOptions).
