that seems to do the trick - thanks...
except sometimes it doesn't seem to work:
index.jsp:
case "run_report"
<jsp:include page="act_runreport.jsp">
act_runreport.jsp:
switch
case "give_me_html"
dump the html on the screen
case "give_me_csv"
<jsp:forward page = "serve_as_csv.jsp">
serve_as_csv.jsp:
<%@ page contentType="unknown"%>
<% response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=foo.csv"); %>
"fee","fi","fo"
When i do the above, then the csv (fee, fi fo) gets shown in the browser,
but if i ship out the index.jsp, and call run_report directly then it works
(ie i get preompted to save or open with excel.
I suspect this is because the default response header has already been set
somewhwere along the way....
If so, is there a way i can stop this response being sent?
Or is this something to do with flushing/buffer?
and if its something else, then what is it?
Thanks for all your help
