Not a JSP question, so moving off to Java in General (intermediate).

I don't think Java is the right tool for such a job. If you have a small number of files to compare, you should be able to do this in Excel itself. If you have a large number of files, or you just want to automate it, VB or VBA would probably be much more suited to the task since they integrate well with Excel.

Jakarta POI is an excellent library that makes it easy to read and write Excel files (amongst other formats).
