JXL read Hyperlink cell from Excel using Java -

i trying read hyperlink cell excel spreadsheet i'm unable so. when go spreadsheet , remove hyperlink reads fine. did come across solution below in question (how hyperlink address cell in excel using java?) gethyperlink method works sheet , not cell confusing me.

workbook wb = workbookfactory.create(new file("test.xls")); sheet s = wb.getsheetat(0); row r2 = s.getrow(1); // rows in poi 0 based cell cb2 = r2.getcell(1); // cells 0 based  hyperlink h = cb2.gethyperlink(); if (h == null) {    system.err.println("cell b2 didn't have hyperlink!"); } else {    system.out.println("b2 : " + h.getlabel() + " -> " + h.getaddress()); } 

this code now

import jxl.cell; import jxl.sheet; import jxl.workbook; import jxl.read.biff.biffexception;  public string[] readusernamefromexcel() {         file src = new file("c:/filepath.xls");         string ex[] = new string[10];          try {              workbook wb = workbook.getworkbook(src);             sheet sh1 = wb.getsheet(0);              cell a3 = sh1.getcell(0, 2);             cell b3 = sh1.getcell(1,2);               cell c2 = sh1.getcell(2,1); //this cell want read hyperlink              ex[0] = a3.getcontents().trim();             ex[1] = b3.getcontents().trim();             ex[2] = c2.getcontents().trim();              system.out.println(ex[0]);             system.out.println(ex[1]);             system.out.println(ex[2]); 

so have tried is

hyperlink h = c2.gethyperlink();  

but gethyperlink not work when used cell.

and dont have option add gethyperlink() method

but when use sheet appear, although appears hyperlinks , array.

i feel though i'm close cant figure out i'm missing or doing wrong me on link appreciated, in advance!

i decided use apache poi instead that's gethyperlink method is. , works charm. i've posted code below in hope finds useful if find in same situation in trying change jxl apache poi! if you're using .xslx need use xssf instead of hssf (http://www.codejava.net/coding/how-to-read-excel-files-in-java-using-apache-poi)
