And I highly recommend first doing:
response.reset();
if you are using HTTPS.

Also, you will want to set some headers too:
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=\"" + fileName
+ "\"");
This will prompt the person to download the file (basically automates the
save as). I just finished doing the same thing for a project and we wanted
to remove the confusion about what to save and what the file name was, etc.

Make a servlet call, then set the response content type as
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
and then write the contents of the excel spreedsheet the the reponse output
stream. If you have a hyperlink on a jsp page that has an href like this:
http://localhost/context/do-export-mapping
then by setting the content type above will cause excel to open
automatically.
