Problems while creating HSSFWorkbook with an InputStream

Hello,

I'm reading in an Excel file using Oreilley's MultipartParser class from my
servlet's HttpServletRequest.  When I get the file name, size and other
information about the file from the MultipartParser, everything is dandy.
But, when I get the InputStream and pass it on to the HSSFWorkbook object, I
get a "file not found" exception.

I even tried creating the workbook as follows:

POIFSFileSystem fs = new POIFSFileSystem(inStream);
HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook(fs);

but I get the same error.  I can create the workbook if I pass the file name
and path to the POIFSFileSystem constuctor.  I have noticed that if the
Excel workbook is not saved as Microsoft Excel 97-2000 & 5.0/95 Workbook
(*.xls), even when passing the file name, I get the "file not found"
exception.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Jay
