JVM crashing while writing to XLSX file( POI)

Question

JVM is crashing while trying to write to the .xlsx file. I am using POI(XSSF) for the same. The error location point in code is the write method--> workBook.write(fileOutputStream);

On Console I get..

A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

The solution I've found for this, and I've been looking for a while, is to make sure you don't open your Workbook with the File which you use to open the FileOutputStream to save the Workbook. Instead, use a FileInputStream to open the Workbook.

Something like this will work flawlessly

        File inputFile = new File("Your-Path");
        this.inputStream = new FileInputStream(inputFile);
        this.opc = OPCPackage.open(this.inputStream);
        this.workbook = WorkbookFactory.create(opc);

...

        this.outputStream = new FileOutputStream(inputFile);
        this.workbook.write(this.outputStream);

Don't forget to close every opened stream and the OPCPackage.
