Doubt in jxl API?

While practicing the jxl API, i cant extract details from certain Excel sheet its throwing the following exception

Unable to recognize OLE stream at jxl.read.biff.CompoundFile.(CompoundFile.java:116) at jxl.read.biff.File.(File.java:127) at jxl.Workbook.getWorkbook(Workbook.java:221) at jxl.Workbook.getWorkbook(Workbook开发者_JAVA百科.java:198) at Com.Parsing.ExcelFile.excel(Extract.java:13) at Com.Parsing.Extract.main(Extract.java:35)

It sounds like there's something wrong with the Excel file.

You might have better luck posting the question on The JExcelApi Yahoo Group - the guy who created JExcelApi hangs out there and often answers questions.

If you are using maven and filters, check that your .xls file is not filtered.
