i do a
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect(url);
This tells the browser to redirect to a new url, is the url your
servlet, or your file?
I think that you want to do a forward and not a redirect.
I googled redirect vs forward and got this page:
http://www.javapractices.com/topic/TopicAction.do?Id=181
I hope the explanation helps.
Another thing is that with openoffice, the file works fine, so; is
safe for
me to assume that the problem is not in the downloaded data ???
If the forward doesn't help then it could be a problem with the Excel
file.
What version of POI are you using? Is the file one that you can share?

Hi
As a matter of fact, the seam people told me to use a servlet to fix
another
problem. This servlet addresses everything with *.xls extension; and
i do a
FacesContext
.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect(url); to get
the file, so with the redirect i assume that there is no previous
output
before the download of the file
the mime type is set to: application/vnd.ms-excel
Another thing is that with openoffice, the file works fine, so; is
safe for
me to assume that the problem is not in the downloaded data ???
thanks for your help
