I've just done this today! :) The following JSP boots up in Excel..you need to set the
content type before ANYTHING else happens with the output stream
<%
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=myExcelTest.xls");
%>

Subject: Excel Mime problem
hi there,
iam using tomcat 5 version..i have a requirement
where my jsp will generate a excel sheet and places in the server directory..
but the problem is when i open the excel thru a java script from a browser window,i
actually get the
excel in text format on the browser itself..
i tested the same excel sheet using a static html page,it opens in excel format within
the
browser.
are theere any specific mime type settings to be set..i already tried with
application/vnd.ms-excel
any help is appreciated
TIA
