My first observation is that you are using the wrong set of classes to handle the workbook. Excel workbooks come in two different formats; the older binary file format (.xls) and the newer OOXML format (.xlsx). From the code you posted, you would appear to be working with one of the newer format files - from the file extension .xlsx - and to do this with POI, you need to use the XSSF classes not the HSSF ones. Better still would be to use the classes in the unifying ss usermodel stream.
There are numerous examples on the POI website,
