How to view excel spreadsheet in java

Hello
Is there a way to open an excel spreadsheet in java? I don't mean reading and writing from an excel file, but instead embedding excel in java. For example instead of launching excel using the Desktop class and opening a new excel window, Java would open an instance of excel and add it to Jframe or Jpanel. Sort of like what Eclipse does when you Open a file with In_Place Editor. Google returns results on how to use some windows dll file and using active x control or whatnot.. Was wondering if there is a better and simpler way..
Thank you.

My first try with "embed excel in Java" returned as the first link a page from a company named JIntegra for which this seems to be their main business. Here's the link I found, just for information:

Reading Microsoft Excel spreadsheets in Java

Is it possible to read a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet in Java? If so, how does one do it?

There exist the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver which enables interaction with Excel files using JDBC, but you're restricted to only one platform (Microsoft Windows), only one (free) driver which is full of bugs and inefficiency (the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver), only one worksheet (the first of the spreadsheet) and only the retrieval of the pure data (no functions, formats, graphs, images, etc).
Bad idea after all.
If the sole purpose is to have an embedded database, rather consider JavaDB, Derby or Hypersonic instead of Excel.

How to read Excel file in java

Respected sir/madam
I want to read the values from Excel file in Java program. How can I do that. When I searched over the net I came to know that you can treat Excel file as a Database and write the code as u write for making DB connections .
I did that but i am getting the following error ..can anybody please help..
This is the code what i have written
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class ReadExcelFile {
Connection c;
Statement stmnt;
public void checkABA_Number()
try
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:ExcelTest","",""); // ExcelTest is the DSN name
stmnt = c.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmnt.executeQuery("select * from abadata"); // abadata is my Excel file name
while(rs.next())
System.out.println(rs.getString(1)+" "+rs.getString(2));
}catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(""+e.toString());
finally
try
stmnt.close();
c.close();
catch( Exception e )
System.err.println( e );
public static void main(String[] args)
new ReadExcelFile().checkABA_Number();
My Excel file starts from the first row and first column and also the first row contains the names of the column.
It give me the following error..
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'abadata'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.
How can I deal with this.?I have properly selected the worksheet while giving the DSN . Is there any versionig problem with Excel or some drivers are in appropriate..and yes i chose Microsoft Excel Driver (.xsl) from ODBC .
I created System DSN.
Can anybody please help me with this ? I will be very gratefull for replies
Thanks in advance

here is the code to read excel file
public void readexel(String filename)
Connection c = null;
Statement stmnt = null;

How to open Excel spreadsheet in Numbers.

Hey Kids:
I have trouble opening imported Excel spreadsheets in Numbers on my iMac. I have Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Previously I tried a demo of Office Mac that has expired. When I try to open an Excel spreadsheet I get a message to buy Office Mac. I've tried to put the demo application in the trash but I still can't open the Excel spreaddsheet and get a message that Excel is in the trash and can't open the spreadsheet.
HELP!

In addition to what Niel said...
In the Finder, click on an Excel file (.xls) to select it, press command-I to Get Info.
In the Info window, expand the Open with...section.
Click the pop-up menu bar in that section and choose Numbers '09.
Click the Change All button below the menu.
Repeat with a current version (.xlsx) file.
Regards,
Barry
PS: Unless you have something vital that you're storing in the Trash, you might also want to Empty the Trash to get rid of the Excel trial that's expired.

Downloaded office 365 and associated apps onto ipad mini. How come some excel spreadsheets will not open?

Some excel spreadsheets attached to my emails will not open on ipad. I have the excel app with 365 subscription.

Can you open them in the mail app itself? If you can't open them in the mail app, my assumption would be that they were not properly saved, named or they are just corrupt file. Files with the .xls or .xlsx extension that are properly formatted Excel files, should open in the mail app without the need for any other app. If you want to save and edit the files, then you need a compatible app in which to save them.

How to lock excel sheets using java

hi,
i have developed a web page using JSP which has to open an excel sheet and display the databese information in it.
but the prblem is the excel sheet has to be locked such tht the clients accessing it can only read the data but not change it.
can it be done thru programming it in java ?
kindly help.

the excel file is client side and JSP is server side
so how can you access it?
in other words, your JSP IS NOT opening an excel file, it's only facilitating the upload
POI from Apache is what we use as well, and it will allow you access to the data AFTER the excel file is transfered to the server

Mbp: how to view excel in attached monitor?!

I've set up my 13" MBP with a second monitor. I will often type in the browser in the MBP's attached 13" screen, while referring to a browser tab in the attached (second) monitor.
New apps always open on my MBP's primary (attached) screen. Typically (Chrome, Evernote, iTunes, TextEdit, PowerPoint, Word) I can move an app window from my primary screen to the second monitor, but Excel windows always bump up against the top of my primary screen and refuse to move to the second screen. Yes, I have shutdown and restarted the MBP, and it's not file-specific.
How do I move Excel sheets to the second screen? Note that Word and PowerPoint behave normally, like every other apps. (This is Office 2008 for Mac.)
Thanks for helping to solve this mystery.

Odd. But can't test very well right now cause I'm on Lion and w/Office 2011.
Try quitting Excel, dragging the com.microsoft.Excel.plist file out of your ~/Library/Preferences folder and doing the test again. That resets Excel's preferences, in case that has something to do with this issue.

Hi,
So you mean to say, I just need to use the ConnectionManager.getConnection() method. It requires a pool connection name. Do I specify the same pool name as in the connectionmanager.xml config file ? And that will do it ? Please clarify. Following is a code snippet. Please verify if this is correct.
Connection conn = null;
try
conn = ConnectionManager.getConnection(poolname);
if(conn == null) {
throw new IOException("No such connection found");
thanks,
