Actually,the flow goes like:
Report.jsp :
<Html:form .. action="/viewReport ... target=_blank" > target is blank
because I want Excel to open in new window...
It maps the /viewReport from strutsConfig to reach an Action class.
<action path="/viewReport" type="com.hcl.sme.action.ViewReportAction"
name="ViewReportForm" input="/pages/report.jsp" scope="request">
In action I have:
return actionMapping.findForward("success");
It maps this from struts config again :
<forward contextRelative="true" name="success" path="/Report"
redirect="false" />
Now it maps this /Report from web.xml ,where it reaches the servlet and
opens the Excel.
The problem is if one Excel is already open.it gives an error msg saying:
anpther instance of /viewReport.do is already open. /viewReport is the
action of form..
As you mention I am setting the filename as repsonse header in my servlet:
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
strReportPath =(String) request.getAttribute("strReportPath");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","filename=" + strReportPath );
But to no avail.

I also use this:
res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "filename="+browserFilename);
and it works just fine in IE. They happen to be .csv files, but most of my
users have .csv associated with Excel. And they can open more than one, so
I don't believe that IE is ignoring the header.
