I have a class that will save as a CSV file or will display directly in
Excel (if the user is using MS Internet Explorer), depending on the user's
preference. It looks like this:
boolean displayExcelFile = ...;
String filename = "something.csv";
if ( displayExcelFile )
{
response.setContentType( "application/vnd.ms-excel" );
}
else
{
response.setContentType( "application/aaa" );
}
response.setHeader( "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" +
filename );
The content-type of "application/aaa" is to ensure the browser won't
recognize the file type and try to display it.
