Tomcat 8 Java 8 file https://www.dropbox.com/s/dl82hx3ebj2s719/file_for_poi.xls?dl=0 WorkbookFactory.create(<file_for_poi.xls>); => JMV process is down
Any more details you could share, such as logs, stack traces, and your configuration? I have no knowledge of your Tomcat/Java setup and no ability to reproduce it. What happens when you open the workbook in Excel? Does Excel have any issues reading it? Can you figure out which part of the workbook triggers your problem? Not to sounds like some guy on Stack Overflow, but what have you tried so far? Keep in mind that these bugs are monitored by volunteers, not paid support or your own IT group that is familiar with your setup, so our willingness to help hinges on the amount of effort it takes to investigate the issue.
Not enough info in the initial report and no update for a few weeks => Closing for now, please provide more info if this is still relevant to you.
