Hi Schultz

Please find sample code below
Suffix is there in request so ..

RequestDispatcher rd = context.getRequestDispatcher(sample.xls);
String contentType =((request.getParameter(SUFFIX) 
!=null) && ((request.getParameter(SUFFIX).equalsIgnoreCase("xls" 
?"application/vnd.ms-excel":null; <--- setting explicitly
if (contentType != null)
{
response.setContentType(contentType);
}
rd.forward(request, response);

Thanks

What is the difference between "open[ing] the XLS file separately" and ... 
whatever your application is doing instead?

If you want to force a download, you need to add some response headers 
otherwise a normal browser will usually try to render the file in the browser 
window instead of initiating a download.

The response header you need is "Content-Disposition" and its value can be 
complex. Here is what I usually do:

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="[filename]"; 
filename*=utf-8''[filename in UTF-8 encoding]

Note that the above is all on one line and the two single-quotes are not a typo. You will 
also need to escape any double-quotes in the "filename"
and escape any semicolons in the utf8-filename.

You can find more information here as well as other places online:

As Niranjan said, pls validate the headers first and it may be not the case
in Tomcat7 but there are multiple points which must have updated probably
triggering it. Only way to verify is set Content-Disposition header
accurately and verify if browser can see it

Hi Chris

My web application is trying to open the xls file by passing the file to 
request.getDispatcher method. It is supposed open up download dialogue box but 
it is not doing.

If I set the content-type explicitly to response it is showing up the box.

With Tomcat 7 it was never an issue and it used to consider mimetype that is 
defined in web.xml but in Tomcat 9 not sure why it is not considering mime-type.

Thanks

Hi again.
Sorry for the noise.
The page which you quoted

formal reference to
RFC 5987 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5987), which formally defines the extended 
"filename*" header parameter below.

Re: Tomcat server not considering Mime Type - Request urgent help!!

2021-01-14 Thread Niranjan Rao

What everyone is telling you is browser is not seeing right headers..

You can modify your tomcat settings as well as apache2 settings to log 
outgoing content type header. If tomcat and apache2 headers match, 
problem is in your tomcat side. If there is a mismatch and tomcat is 
sending right headers. then problem is on apache2 side. You can directly 
connect to tomact using curl or even in the browser to bypass apache2 
and see if it works.


How is response returned? How do you set the extension of the file? You 
said file generated dynamically, are you sure your servlet or whatever 
service handler you have there is not sending incorrect header?


I am not sure, but I believe global mime type settings are only for 
static files that tomcat serves. Any dynamically generated content has 
to be managed by response handler. More knowledgeable people here can 
correct me if I am wrong.


Regards,

Niranjan

Please note that the request initially hits apache2.4 server which is

The connection is configured via ajp connector.

Is there a possibility that the apache server is overwriting the

Please advise.

If you are via AJP connector, then check if Apache proxy is changing
headers. We have a similar environment and when we set content-type,
clients see the same but possible it must be overriding

RE: Tomcat server not considering Mime Type - Request urgent help!!

2021-01-13 Thread Jonnalagadda, Swathi (External)
This issue is not resolved yet.  The extension of file is clearly .xls but I 
see content-type in response header is set to text/html. 

Please note that the request initially hits apache2.4 server which is 
redirected to tomcat9 server after successful authentication at siteminder. 

The connection is configured via ajp connector.

Is there a possibility that the apache server is overwriting the content-type 
header in response ?

Please advise.

Thanks
Swathi

Thank you for the email

We could see that when we try to open the xls file separately the browser shows 
dialogue box to save it so it is nothing to do with browser settings

Could you please advise if I am missing out any setting here.

Pls check http response headers for the request to confirm if it's returning 
proper headers.

Once they are in place then it may be to do with browser settings not 
processing headers.

I have found getting browsers to handle objects correctly is problematic 
and needs to be specific to the use case in the html link.

Hi Team

We have an application deployed in tomcat9.0.38 server which generates
an xls file dynamically and saves at server end. When we try to access
the file using application frontend, it is neither showing up in excel
format nor showing up pop up to save the file instead it is showing
the content of xls file in xml format directly on the browser.

Below mime type is set both at web.xml of webapplicatio end and as
well as Tomcat9038/conf/web.xml


 xls
 application/vnd.ms-excel
 

Could you please help in resolving the issue ASAP


Thanks
