It seems like you are missing org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException on your class path.
Have you included xbean.jar?

I am new with POI so please excuse the newbie question. Ok, so I started with HSSF and was able to write an XLS file; however (as expected) I ran into the problem of having too many columns (> 255). So, I switched all the HSSF commands to XSSF commands and tried again. The results were: Exception in thread "Thread-4" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xmlbeans/XmlException Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) The code it refers to reads: XSSFWorkbook wb = new XSSFWorkbook(); In a nutshell, I am trying to create an XLSX file because this format allows for column counts > 256; which is the most important thing I need. Otherwise, Excel 2007 is no better than 97 for my purposes. Any help achieving this goal would be greatly appreciated.
