I have found getting browsers to handle objects correctly is problematic and needs to be specific to the use case in the html link.

<object id="media" data="..." type="application/vnd.ms-excel"></object>

Thank you for the email

We could see that when we try to open the xls file separately the browser shows 
dialogue box to save it so it is nothing to do with browser settings

Could you please advise if I am missing out any setting here.

Thanks

Pls check http response headers for the request to confirm if it's returning 
proper headers.

Once they are in place then it may be to do with browser settings not 
processing headers.

Hi Team

We have an application deployed in tomcat9.0.38 server which generates
an xls file dynamically and saves at server end. When we try to access
the file using application frontend, it is neither showing up in excel
format nor showing up pop up to save the file instead it is showing
the content of xls file in xml format directly on the browser.

Below mime type is set both at web.xml of webapplicatio end and as
well as Tomcat9038/conf/web.xml

<mime-mapping>
     <extension>xls</extension>
     <mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
     </mime-mapping>

Could you please help in resolving the issue ASAP


Thanks
Swathi
