Question

Hi Friends,
I'm trying to get the data from MS-Excel and then try to persists in the data base...
here my code goes like this:
try {
               Long OID;
               String Pricing_Type;
               Float Min_Spend = null;
               Float Max_Spend = null;
               String Pricing_Access_Type = null;
               int Pricing_Term_Commitment = 0;
               String State;
               String Jurisdiction = null;
               Float Pricing_Min;
               Float Pricing_Max;
               POIFSFileSystem pofilesystem=new POIFSFileSystem(new FileInputStream("D:\\abbrivations\\Enterprise Connections Pricing.xls"));
               HSSFWorkbook hbook=new HSSFWorkbook(pofilesystem);
               HSSFSheet hsheet=hbook.getSheetAt(0);
String Judisdiction;
               Judisdiction=hbook.getSheetName(0);
               System.out.println("NAME:::::::::"+hbook.getSheetName(0));
               Iterator rows = hsheet.rowIterator();
                              while( rows.hasNext() ) {
                                   HSSFRow row = (HSSFRow) rows.next();
                              System.out.println("Row number"+row.getRowNum());
                                   Iterator cells = row.cellIterator();
                                        do {
                                        HSSFCell cell = (HSSFCell) cells.next();
                              // HSSFCellStyle style=cell.getCellStyle();
                              // int index=style.getFontIndex();
                                        Pricing_Type="VCM Pricing";
                                        int count=0;
                                   switch ( cell.getCellType() ) {
                                             case HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_STRING:
                                             String stringcell=cell.getStringCellValue ();//+" ";
System.out.print( cell.getStringCellValue () +" ");
                                                  break;
                                             case HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_FORMULA:
                                                       String stringdate=cell.getCellFormula();
                                                  System.out.print( cell.getCellFormula()+" " );
                                                       break;
                                             case HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC:
                                             String string=String.valueOf(cell.getNumericCellValue());
                                             System.out.print( cell.getNumericCellValue() +" ");
                                                  break;
                                             case HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_ERROR:
                                             //String string=String.valueOf(cell.getNumericCellValue())+" ";
                                             System.out.print( "+++++++++"+cell.getErrorCellValue() );
                                                  break;
                                             case HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_BOOLEAN:
                                             String stringencoding=String.valueOf(cell.getBooleanCellValue());
                                             System.out.print( "Error in Boolean"+cell.getBooleanCellValue());
                                                  break;
                                   }                                   while( cells.hasNext() );
          } catch (IOException ioe) {
               System.err.println(ioe.getMessage());

I would go to Open Office and its SDK and use it to work with Excel cells and many other document formats.
