i solved the problem by inserting out.clearBuffer() :P
i realized that JSP Engine (ie. resin) inserts
a new line character due to the presence of page
directive at the top. i noticed this when i tried
downloading plain text file.
my code now appears :
out.clearBuffer();
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment; filename=\"" + fileName + ".xls" + "\"");
ServletOutputStream stream =
response.getOutputStream();
ts.writeExcelData(stream);
stream.close();
thx for the inputs guys :). sorry for my jsp but it
was just my own mini-project to generate my timesheet
:> (a 2-page jsp).
