Hi, save the document. From a servlet using the ...xls in the URL I can prevent the question whether I want to open the document, it will be opened without any questions. Subject to user configuration. Servlets with that still prompt the question on my browser. Unless you control all users' configurations, you can't rely on this mechanism.

How to get Excel directly started using response.setContentType(...) from JSP?
Hi, I can get Excel directly started from a servlet using two things: 1. response.setContentType(application/vnd.ms-excel); 2. the servlet path ends with result.xls (like /servlet/abc/result.xls?p=1) I can use response.setContentType(...) from JSP too, but I was not able to use a JSP path to end with xls, thus when I start (click on a link) the JSP file, first I'm asked whether I want to open the file directly or just to download.

RE: How to get Excel directly started using response.setContentType(...) from JSP?
Hi, Both of these depend on your user's configuration to some extent. For example, I personally have the .xls extension configured to bring up the question (save or open). Be careful not to forget that handling of responses based on content type or extension is completely controllable by the user, who can assign an arbitrary application to each extension.

The only problem with using setContentType is a wonderful bug in IE Not sure if it is for excel but we are having the problem with pdf's The work around is to but a dummy name/value in the query string Foo=.pdf RP -Original Message- From: Justin Ruthenbeck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2002 1:47 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: How to get Excel directly started using response.setContentType(...) from JSP?

Re: How to get Excel directly started using response.setContentType(...) from JSP?
I do use setContentType(), but I do get asked by IE whether I want to open or save the document. From a servlet using the ...xls in the URL I can prevent the question whether I want to open the document, it will be opened without any questions.
