Does HSSF support Excel with Picture?

Question

The following code works fine if the Excel File "test.xls" does not contain picture.
It also runs without error after I have added a picture to the Excel sheet, but when I open the excel file "test.xls", I got an error message "Unable to read file".
Does HSSF support Excel with Picture?
POIFSFileSystem fs = new POIFSFileSystem(new FileInputStream("test.xls"));
HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(fs);
HSSFSheet sheet = wb.getSheetAt(0);
int r = 10;
short c = 10;
HSSFRow row = sheet.getRow(r);
if (row != null)
if (row.getCell(c) != null)
row.getCell(c).setCellValue("testing");
else
row.createCell(c).setCellValue("testing");
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream("test.xls");
wb.write(fileOut);
fileOut.close();

If it must be dynamically embeded, you're SOL AFAIK. You can embed images in a template, then open that template and add data. POI will allow images and pivot tables to be in the original document and it will save them undamaged, however you cannot create images or pivot tables from within POI (HSSF).
