Answer 1

If you're using a later version of Apache POI poi-4.0.1, Cell.getCellType() returns the CellType enum instead of int, so your switch should look like this:

now in CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC is now just NUMERIC remove CELL_TYPE_

  while(cellitr.hasNext())
                {
                    Cell celldata=(Cell) cellitr.next();
                    switch(celldata.getCellType())
                    {
                    case STRING:
                        data.add(celldata.getStringCellValue());
                        break;
                    case NUMERIC:
                        data.add(celldata.getNumericCellValue());
                        break;
                    case BOOLEAN:
                        data.add(celldata.getBooleanCellValue());
                        break;
                    }

Answer 2

The enums are STRING, NUMERIC and BOOLEAN, drop the CELL_TYPE_, and they are part of CellType enum

switch(celldata.getCellType()) {
    case CellType.STRING:
        data.add(celldata.getStringCellValue());
        break;
    case CellType.NUMERIC:
        data.add(celldata.getNumericCellValue());
        break;
    case CellType.BOOLEAN:
        data.add(celldata.getBooleanCellValue());
        break;
}
