The excel file is a normal excel created in MS office 2007. The error is caused when read using inputStream = ClassPathResource.class.getResourceAsStream(filePath); In this case the file is located in classpath.
But if I give an absolute path to the file and try reading like this, java.net.URI uri = new URI(filePath); File file = new File(uri); inputStream = new FileInputStream(file); In this case I don't get any exception. The wonderign part is that it works with a tomcat & fails in one jboss server. Can I know When is this particular error supposed to be thrown...
