What everyone is telling you is browser is not seeing right headers..
You can modify your tomcat settings as well as apache2 settings to log
outgoing content type header. If tomcat and apache2 headers match,
problem is in your tomcat side. If there is a mismatch and tomcat is
sending right headers. then problem is on apache2 side. You can directly
connect to tomact using curl or even in the browser to bypass apache2
and see if it works.
How is response returned? How do you set the extension of the file? You
said file generated dynamically, are you sure your servlet or whatever
service handler you have there is not sending incorrect header?
I am not sure, but I believe global mime type settings are only for
static files that tomcat serves. Any dynamically generated content has
to be managed by response handler. More knowledgeable people here can
correct me if I am wrong.

If you are via AJP connector, then check if Apache proxy is changing
headers. We have a similar environment and when we set content-type,
clients see the same but possible it must be overriding

This issue is not resolved yet. The extension of file is clearly .xls but
I see content-type in response header is set to text/html.
Please note that the request initially hits apache2.4 server which is
redirected to tomcat9 server after successful authentication at siteminder.
The connection is configured via ajp connector.
Is there a possibility that the apache server is overwriting the
content-type header in response ?
Please advise.
Thanks

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
