Write results in existing excel in SOAPUI Groovy Fails - excel

Question

I have a requirement to write a results (Pass/Fail) in the same excel sheet where the script reads the parameter in a FOR loop. It is throwing an error:
org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.GroovyCastException: Cannot cast object 'jxl.read.biff.WorkbookParser#3da0525b' with class 'jxl.read.biff.WorkbookParser' to class 'jxl.write.WritableWorkbook' error at line: 16
My code:
import jxl.*;
import jxl.write.*;
import java.io.*;
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
//Get project path
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)
def projectPath = groovyUtils.projectPath
def testCaseName = testRunner.testCase.name
//Read excel file and get the input value
WritableWorkbook xlwb = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File ("${projectPath}\\${testCaseName}.xls"))
Sheet inputxlsh = xlwb.getSheet(0)
inputRowCount = inputxlsh.getRows();
WritableSheet outputxlsh = xlwb.getSheet(1)
outputRowCount = outputxlsh.getRows();
log.info "Executing Test Case " + testCaseName
log.info "Total records to send API request to webservice from the file : " + inputRowCount -1
for (i=0;i<inputRowCount-1;i++)
{

affkey = requestParam1.getContents()
Cell requestParam2 = inputxlsh.getCell(1,i+1)
etid = requestParam2.getContents()
def soapTestCase = context.testCase
//Set the request property value (Parameter)
requestPropertyVariable = soapTestCase.getTestStepByName("requestProperty")
requestPropertyVariable.setPropertyValue("affkey",affkey)

Answer 1

If you want a write able copy call createWorkbook function
WritableWorkbook xlwb = Workbook.createWorkbook(new File ("${projectPath}\\${testCaseName}.xls"))
If you don't want write able copy save in Workbook object instead
Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook((new File ("${projectPath}\\${testCaseName}.xls"))

Answer 2

I have achieved the requirement based on below code
def inptDataWb = new HSSFWorkbook(xlwb);
def inputxlsh = inptDataWb.getSheetAt(2);
wrtResult = outputxlsh.getRow(k+1).getCell(3);
wrtResult.setCellValue("P");
wrtResult = outputxlsh.getRow(k+1).getCell(5);
wrtResult.setCellValue("");
inptDataWb.write(xlOwb);
