Tomcat needs to know about MIME types. Put MIME-mapping statements in your
web.xml file.
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xls</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>

I have both Tomcat and IIS running on two machines. But when I download a
file (abc.xls) from Tomcat, the browser loads the binary content without
prompting uisng the save/open dialog while IIS did prompt before the
download.
http://machine/myapp/abc.xls
Can anybody tell me why?
