This issue appears to be caused by a defect in the JXL library version 2.6.3.  It occurs due to the fact that a print area exists that has no range.  Opening the file in Excel and removing all print areas works around this issue. 

The latest version of the JXL library (2.6.12) appears to have resolved this issue.  Perhaps Talend should be shipped with the latest version of this library?

Hi,

  I get an "ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException" while using "tFileInputExcel" component.
 
  I just try to read from an excel and print the results in console.
  My input excel has 10 column values and 3 input rows, but while read the system throws  the following error

  Exception in component tFileInputExcel_1
  java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0
    at jxl.read.biff.SheetImpl.readSheet(SheetImpl.java:725)
    at jxl.read.biff.WorkbookParser.getSheet(WorkbookParser.java:252)

  Could you please advice me on the above issue?
  Is there any index values limit for "SheetImpl" - please let me know your pointers.

  TOS version : 3.1.3

  Thanks and Regards,
