Apache的POI组件是Java操作Microsoft Office办公套件的强大API，其中对Word，Excel和PowperPoint都有支持，当然使用较多的还是Excel，因为Word和PowerPoint用程序动态操作的应用较少。那么本文就结合POI来介绍一下操作Excel的方法。 

这里介绍两种方法实现excel的操作。代码都有注释，可以很清楚的看懂，一种是循环遍历excel表格，这个要自己定位一个excel的起点。另外一种是通过java反射机制实现的，根据表头来实现映射。具体代码如下：

第一种：

import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.List;

								}

								value = new DecimalFormat().format(cell
										.getNumericCellValue());
							}
							break;
						case HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_FORMULA:
							// 导入时如果为公式生成的数据则无值
