This question has been already asked once but no one gave a absolute solution to it. Im trying to generate a xls file from a existing template but im getting an error which I dont know how to face out!

My code: String nombre = "Manuel";

        try (InputStream templateFileName = ExportExcelServlet.class.getResourceAsStream("/segJBOSS/lib/xls/Tabla_Gestion.xlsx")) {
            try (OutputStream destFileName = new FileOutputStream("Tabla_Gestion.xls")) {
                ArrayList<String> array = new ArrayList<String>();
                array.add(nombre);
                Context context = new Context();
                context.putVar("gestion", array);
                JxlsHelper.getInstance().processTemplate(templateFileName, destFileName, context);              
                } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO: handle exception
                System.out.println(e.getMessage());
                e.printStackTrace();                
                }

        } catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO: handle exception
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO: handle exception
        System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

This is being implemented into a WebServlet.

17:08:43,472 ERROR [org.jxls.util.TransformerFactory] (default task-3) Method createTransformer of org.jxls.transform.poi.PoiTransformer class thrown an Exception: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

17:08:43,479 ERROR [stderr] (default task-3) java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot load XLS transformer. Please make sure a Transformer implementation is in classpath

Thanks alot!

Please make sure that you have jxls-poi and Apache POI jars in the classpath (if you plan to use Apache POI)

In my case, I have incompatible apache poi versions in my classpath. jxls-poi:1.0.15 uses poi:3.17, while I have poi:3.9.

Changing poi to 3.17 fixed my issue.

ok,if you use maven ,when maven build , maven could broken excel file.

Exceptions reported by JXLS can be ambiguous,it's actually creating a excel file exception.

you can do like this:

<resources>
        <resource>
            <directory>src/main/resources/</directory>
            <filtering>true</filtering>
            <excludes>
                <exclude>template/*.*</exclude>
            </excludes>
        </resource>
        <resource>
            <directory>src/main/resources/</directory>
            <filtering>false</filtering>
            <includes>
                <include>template/*.*</include>
            </includes>
        </resource>
 </resources>

I also encountered the same issue when using maven profiles and resource filtering. It was fixed by turning off the resource filtering to your jxls excel templates.

  <resource>
    <directory>src/main/resources/</directory>
    <filtering>false</filtering>
    <includes>
      <include>**/*.xlsx</include>
    </includes>
  </resource>

Make sure jxls and jxls-poi are in your maven pom, Also check your template file is in your class path or not.

I encountered this problem, my code like :

InputStream is = JxlsTest.class.getResourceAsStream("/template.xlsx");

My problem is I mistyped /template.xlsx as /template.xls, jxls cannot find the template xls file, so this error thrown.

It is strange that throughout the entire Internet there is still no answer to this question. First of all, you just need to replace ExportExcelServlet.class.getResourceAsStream with FileInputStream
