I have a Tomcat application that writes out spreadsheets and it was using the following JAR files:
- poi-3.16.jar
- poi-ooxml-3.16.jar
- poi-ooxml-schemas-3.16.jar
I saw there was a version 4.0.1 of poi, and in looking at https://poi.apache.org/components/ I think I have the prerequisites set up, but I get an Exception when running:
25-Mar-2019 22:33:37.117 SEVERE [http-nio-8181-exec-10] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke Servlet.service() for servlet [xxx.ApplicationConfig] in context with path [/DataLoaderREST] threw exception [org.glassfish.jersey.server.ContainerException: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError] with root cause
java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable source code - cannot find symbol
symbol: class POIXMLDocument
location: package org.apache.poi
Update:
Apparently when I built my .WAR file that gave the above error, it looks like NetBeans found the old 3.16 jar files and compiled my code, but I didn't have the 3.16 jar files on the server. Now that I've done a clean in NetBeans, I cannot compile in NetBeans.
Error:
--- maven-compiler-plugin:2.3.2:compile (default-compile) @ DataModules ---

COMPILATION ERROR :

com/xxx/billing/loader/parser/ExcelParser.java:[36,21] error: cannot find symbol
And ExcelParser.jara line 36 is:
