Answer 1

I want to read the contents of an MS Excel file from
java, is it possible using JavaBeans-ActiveX bridge or
by any other java technologies, if possible, how ?Bridge2Java from IBM Alphaworks will do the trick for you.
You can get it from here:
http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/aw.nsf/techs/bridge2java
Using it, you can do things like the following (taken and abbreviated from the samples provided with the package):
import Excel.*;
public class QuickExcel
    public static void main(java.lang.String[] args) {
        Application app;
        Workbooks wbs;
        Workbook wb;
        Worksheet sheet;
        Range rangeA1, rangeA2;
        try
            com.ibm.bridge2java.OleEnvironment.Initialize();
            app = new Application(); // Excel.Application !!! :-)
            app.set_Visible(true);
            wbs = app.get_Workbooks();
            wb = wbs.Add();
            sheet = new Worksheet(wb.get_ActiveSheet());
            rangeA1 = sheet.get_Range("A1");
            String out = new String("This is a test");
            rangeA1.set_Value(out);
            // Wait five seconds
            Thread.sleep(5000);
            // Close the workbook without saving
            wb.Close(new Boolean("false"));
            app.Quit();
        } catch (com.ibm.bridge2java.ComException e)
            System.out.println( "COM Exception:" );
            System.out.println( Long.toHexString((e.getHResult())) );
            System.out.println( e.getMessage() );
        } catch (Exception e)
            System.out.println("message: " + e.getMessage());
        } finally
            app = null;
            com.ibm.bridge2java.OleEnvironment.UnInitialize();
}
