Java Programming

Respected sir/madam
I want to read the values from Excel file in Java program. How can I do that. When I searched over the net I came to know that you can treat Excel file as a Database and write the code as u write for making DB connections .
I did that but i am getting the following error ..can anybody please help..
This is the code what i have written

import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class ReadExcelFile {

Connection c;
Statement stmnt;

public void checkABA_Number()
{
try
{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:ExcelTest","",""); // ExcelTest is the DSN name
stmnt = c.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmnt.executeQuery("select * from abadata"); // abadata is my Excel file name
while(rs.next())
{
System.out.println(rs.getString(1)+" "+rs.getString(2));
}
}catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println(""+e.toString());
}
finally
{
try
{
stmnt.close();
c.close();
}
catch( Exception e )
{
System.err.println( e );
}

}

}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
new ReadExcelFile().checkABA_Number();
}
}
My Excel file starts from the first row and first column and also the first row contains the names of the column.
It give me the following error..

java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'abadata'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.

How can I deal with this.?I have properly selected the worksheet while giving the DSN . Is there any versionig problem with Excel or some drivers are in appropriate..and yes i chose Microsoft Excel Driver (.xsl) from ODBC .
I created System DSN.

Can anybody please help me with this ? I will be very gratefull for replies
Thanks in advance
