Zsolt --
Guess I'm a bit confused why you wouldn't want to use the setContentType()
method in your jsp ... this is how a problem like this is normally solved
(and why the method exists in the first place).
Regardless, you can also do it by extension on your jsp. Depending on how
your project is setup, this may be prohibitively difficult, but you can
precompile your jsp and map it (now a servlet) to whatever you want in your
web.xml -- map it to result.xls if you'd like. If you (1) aren't
precompiling jsps or (2) have a complex proxy environment with webservers,
this will be difficult. All the more reason to use setContentType().
Happy trails!
