public class ExcelReader extends AbstractStreamTableReader
Implements Excel reading.

This class reads Excel sheets like a stream, meaning delivering rows one by one from the current sheet. Use this reader if you want to load an Excel file by creating a File and passing it to the constructor.

Example: 

java.io.File f = new java.io.File("excel-test.xls");
ExcelReader in = new ExcelReader(f);
while (in.hasNext()) {
    Object columns[] = in.next();
    // Do something here
}
in.close();
