Is this a POI error, or a file structure error? If the later, is there

This error is telling you that an assumption POI has made about the
structure of one of the records has turned out incorrect
The fix is to look at the excel file format specs, and compare the POI
record code and the file to them. If POI is wrong, POI needs fixing.
(This will typically happen when we don't check for an extension flag or
similar). If the file isn't spec compliant, then we need to decide if
it's salvagable or not, and put in a workaround if possible
I am nearly certain that the file being generated is not to spec. My
problem is that I do not have the ability to change the tool generating
the Excel file, and consequently am stuck with this file format.
Is there anything in POI that would let me silently ignore these errors,
or do I need to hack POI to get this to work? ie: I can use Spring AOP
or AspectJ to intercept a thrown error and silently ignore it, but I
consider that to be quite an ugly solution.
Thanks,
Eric
