Im trying to code a routine for downloading the
generated excel file
thru JSP, by writing the data object directly to the
client side.
my code snippet :
fs = new POIFSFileSystem(new
FileInputStream(fileTemplate));
wb = new HSSFWorkbook(fs);
...
ServletOutputStream stream =
response.getOutputStream();
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment; filename=\"" + fileName + "\"");
wb.write(stream);
stream.close();
this code doesnt seem to work, the file gets
downloaded and written to a file
but the content looks garbled or corrupted, although i
can open the file thru
MS Excel w/o getting an "illegal operation" or any
errors.
remember that this code snippet is inside a JSP file
and it looks like
the data was written not in binary but in ascii.. or
something like that.
what am i missing? anyone with a working code? => does
POI library
handles this one properly? (i tried writing it to a
file and works perfectly).
i also tried the code in servlet but i get the same results.
