I'm not sure I understand what you mean by opening the file from within eclipse. If you mean that the code you have written in eclipse can now open the xls file inside your servlet, then great, there's progress. > I can't seem to deploy it and open it in my browser yet. > Any suggestions on the deployment? I am not sure I understand this correctly either. When you say that you want to deploy and open it in your browser, what are you actually attempting to do? Do you want to see the excel sheet as a web page, like GoogleDocs do or do you want the browser to receive the file and open it with Excel? > I am getting a FacesContext not found > error. Well, this means that your JSF configuration is incorrect. The problem is probably somewhere in your web.xml or faces-config.xml files. However, this has nothing to do with POI so this list is not the best place to ask that sort of questions. You'd be better off asking help for this specific problem on a JSF forum where you have people who can help better. It would help enormously if you could describe what you are trying to do. At the moment, the different bits of information I've gathered from your various emails tell me that you are writing a JSF application that runs in a servlet container and that needs to send Excel files to the user's browser. Is this correct? What I don't understand is: 1. do you need to modify the Excel file inside the servlet before sending it to the browser? 2. how do you expect the browser to handle the file?
