Answer 1

Try using

XSSFWorkbook wb = new XSSFWorkbook(dataStream);

From Apache POI: "HSSF is the POI Project's pure Java implementation of the Excel '97(-2007) file format. XSSF is the POI Project's pure Java implementation of the Excel 2007 OOXML (.xlsx) file format." http://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/ You're using the HSSF (which will work for xls) on a XLSX file.
