Hello..I am creating a functionality in my project in which i have to read data from an excel sheet and show it in a table format in my application...It is sort of Import from excel just like you have export to excel,this is the reverse...
What i need to know is..How to implement this functionality without using odbc driver..Also i want code in webdynpro java...
<b>Hi
First You have to download the jxl.jar file. You can get this file from the Below site
<a href="http://www.andykhan.com/jexcelapi/download.html">JExcelApi v2.6.4 (1747kbytes)</a>
It will be in Compressed Fromat So Unzip it to get the Contents
After Unzipping The File You will get a Folder (jexcelapi/jxl.jar)
Now in NWDS open web dynpro explorer, Right Click Your Project, a popup menu will appear and in that click Properties
You will get window displaying your Project Properties
On Left Side of the window You Will Find "Java Build Path"
Click That "Java Build Path" and you will get 4 Tabs Showing ( Source,Projects,Libraries,Order and Export)
Click Libraries Tab
You will find options many options buttons
In that click the Button "Add External Jars"
You will get Window in order to fecth the jxl.jar file from the location you had stored
After selecting the jxl.jar i will get displayed and click ok
Now Open Navigator
Open Your Project
You will find Lib folder
Copy the jxl.jar to that lib folder
Note : You cannot Read the Content from the excel file directly
First You Have to copy that file to the Server,
And from the Server you can get the file absolute path
With the absolute path you can read the contents of the Excel file
You have to save the Excel file as .xls Format and Not as xlsx format i will not accept that...
You have Upload the Excel file from the Server Using the File Upload UI Element
This Coding will extract 3 columns from the Xls File

Thankyou experts..the previous code worked....
I wud like to clear some points for ppl referring to this forum:
1) make the cardinality of the node as bold1:1
2) It is not necessary to store excel file on server before hand,
using above code, uploaded file will be stored directly on server..

Hi,
This is SampleCode to do it..
File f=new File(<ExcelFile>);
Workbook w=Workbook.getWorkbook(f);
Sheet sh=w.getSheet(0);
int cols=sh.getColumns();
int rows=sh.getRows();
String s1=null;
String s2=null;
for(int i=0;i<rows;i++)
{
s1=sh.getCell(0,i).getContents();
s2=sh.getCell(1,i).getContents();
// Code to proceed further(as per your requirement)
}
Finally add "jxl.jar" file to 'JavaBuildpath' of your project

Esha,
Take a look at this [example|http://www.koders.com/java/fid5636164FDE72156B90C9973AC12EBBF49048BA4E.aspx] on how to use the HSSF POI class.
