RE: Open an EXCEL file from IE: An example

[Torbert Brian IT56]

I am using Websphere Application Server 3.5.3 and using the code below.  The
excel file opens but it is corrupted and displays a bunch of binary data.
What is strange is when I run this application in VAJ3.5.3's WTE everything
works fine.  Does anyone have any ideas?  Are there compatibility issues
with POI and WAS 3.5?
