Thanks for that. that gives me a better idea to go about things + i
didnt know we can call methods from struts.xml
i implemented this but am getting this error
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.coyote.tomcat5.CoyoteOutputStream
org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.StreamResult.doExecute(StreamResult.java:182)
org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.StrutsResultSupport.execute(StrutsResultSupport.java:178)
com.opensymphony.xwork2.DefaultActionInvocation.executeResult(DefaultActionInvocation.java:348)
com.opensymphony.xwork2.DefaultActionInvocation.invoke(DefaultActionInvocation.java:253)
my getExcelStream looks like this
public ServletOutputStream getExcelStream()
{
return this.stream;
}
excelDownload method has this that sets up the stream.
stream = response.getOutputStream();
wb.write(stream);
wb is the worksheet...
