Apache POI 3.6 - ClassPath error in XSSF mode

[jmaple79]

New here, so forgive me if this has all been answered once or twice.

I am trying to implement Apache POI and the HssfR4/xlparser software at the small business I work for and I am running into walls.
I am using the Apache POI 3.6 version and trying to stay as close to the instruction that Scott has in his site, in the software, etc.., but I keep getting a classpath issue when running XLCRTDEMO in XSSF mode.

I am learning Java at the same time I am trying to implement this software, so I am not above assuming that I am the idiot in this scenario.

Any help would be amazing.

Hi Jason,

Everyone is new here, I just opened up these forums yesterday

Can you tell us about the problem you're having? The subject line says you're having a CLASSPATH error. Can you post the full error message?

Thanks!

Hi Scott,
I ran into a case of, I didn't know what I didn't know. I was able to get the Apache POI 3.6 and Your matching software talking to each other. I have another question though and I will post in a different forum.

Hi,
I’m contacting you for the following problem. At my client's site, we are currently using the org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook class without problem in a production program. We would like to modify the program to integrate the org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook class in order to be able to generate an .xlsx file. I took your example of the HDRDEMO program on your site, making sure I had the correct jars in the CLASSPATH but I still got the following error message:

Note: I have added an attachment the screenshots of the error message, CLASSPATH declared in the program and the jars in the IFS.

Thanks you !
