poi报空指针,而使用Apache POI空指针异常

I am trying to write a excel file using Apache POI package. Here is the code snippet:

String basePath = "/home/aman/Desktop";

String fileName = "result.xls";

File file = new File(basePath, fileName); //File not null. checked.

OPCPackage pkg = OPCPackage.openOrCreate(file); //pkg not null. checked.

Workbook wb = new XSSFWorkbook(pkg); //GenerateReport.java:63

I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

at org.apache.poi.POIXMLDocumentPart.read(POIXMLDocumentPart.java:382)

at org.apache.poi.POIXMLDocument.load(POIXMLDocument.java:155)

at org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook.(XSSFWorkbook.java:186)

at amazon.category.database.GenerateReport.generateExcel(GenerateReport.java:63)

at amazon.category.database.MerchantAdoptionStats.processAdoptionStats(MerchantAdoptionStats.java:197)

at amazon.category.database.MerchantAdoptionStats.main(MerchantAdoptionStats.java:386)

Any help appreciated.

I hit my head against this one for a while myself. The trick is whether or not the file exists prior.

//if file is .xls

Workbook workbook;

if(file.exists) {

NPOIFSFileSystem fs = new NPOIFSFileSystem(file);

workbook = new HSSFWorkbook(fs.getRoot(), false);

}

else {

workbook = new HSSFWorkbook();

}

//if file is .xlsx

Workbook workbook;

if(file.exists) {

OPCPackage pkg = OPCPackage.open(file);

workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(pkg);

}

else {

workbook = new XSSFWorkbook();

}

The trick appears to be (and this doesn't look like it is documented well), that you create the workbooks off of the file system or package objects only if the file exists prior. If you want a new file, then don't use the file system or package objects to create your workbooks.
